Former Bellator MMA president, StrikeForce creator Scott Coker is back in the promotional business, at least in some capacity. Tech CU Arena which is in San Jose and home to the AHL San Jose Barracuda hockey team announced that it would be hosting a new Mixed Combat promotion called “Fight night at the Tech”–which lists Scott Coker as a producer and will take place on May 18th in San Jose.
Other details have not been shared, however sources say it will be a mix combat event that will feature seasoned veterans and rising prospects. Coker who decided not to partner with the Professional Fighters League following their purchase of Bellator MMA in late 2023 will be making his first venture back into combat sports promotions with this event.
After spending years fighting, commentating,analyzing,coaching, I’m excited to expand my contribution to Bay Area MMA.
