Simple and objective. The phrase can summarize Scott Coker's thoughts on the light heavyweight stars (up to 93kg) in Bellator. After great presentations of Vadim nemkov e Corey anderson, finalists in the group's tournament, the president has no doubts when the question is about the fighters' position in MMA in general.

“Whoever wins the tournament, for me, is the best light heavyweight in the world. Period”, said Coker, in a press conference after this weekend’s show.

Scott's speech may sound like a provocation to Ultimate. The organization run by Dana White will also pit two of its best athletes in a title fight that takes place on October 30th. For Coker, Vadim nemkov e Corey anderson would be higher than Jan Blachowicz e Glover Teixeira, stars of UFC 267.

No Bellator 268, Nemkov proved once again to be one of the biggest names in world MMA. Light heavyweight champion, the athlete carried out a true massacre against Julius Anglickas, winning by submission in the fourth round. Corey anderson, former Ultimate representative, also did well. The organization's bet, the combatant ran over Ryan bader, former leader of the group, in less than a minute of combat.
