Bellator president Scott Coker supports the Nevada State Athletic Commission suspending MMA coach James Krause and the UFC barring fighters who stay with Krause’s Glory MMA gym.
Coker responded to an inquiry from MMA Fighting on the steps the athletic commission and the UFC are taking while investigations play out around potential betting irregularities surrounding the November 5 bout between the Krause-coached Darrick Minner and Shayilan Nuerdanbieke.
“As a lifelong martial artist, integrity and honor have been the foundation upon which I have built my career as a Mixed Martial Arts promoter, and I believe that it is of utmost importance that the integrity of MMA remains unquestioned,” Coker wrote in his statement.
