Bellator planerade tidigare ett tungviktsmöte mellan Liam McGeary och Phil Davis i Barclays Center i Brooklyn, New York, men det blev sedan inte av på grund av problem med schemaläggningen. Man planerar nu en ny gala som troligtvis kommer att hållas i början av 2017 och kan eventuellt bli av i Madison Square Garden.
Det här berättade Scott Coker, via ’MMAJunkie’:
As far as the fight, we want to bring the right fight there, and if we could have put it together, this fight would have been one of the big fights on the (New York) card. We’re going to wait and when we do it, we’ll do it right. There’s no timetable, whether it happens in first quarter of next year.
I think we’ll probably go to the City first. There’s some great talent on the roster; I think timing is going to be an issue of when these guys are available.
New York has been waiting for 15, 20 years for an MMA show. Viacom is based out of New York City, and we’re going to do it right. All the executives are going to come to the show, and it will be a big showcase for all the properties, and we’re planting the flag for New York City.
