Since taking over as Bellator MMA president in 2014, Scott Coker has done quite a nice job with his handling of the promotion. Whether it be improving the overall product or building the roster, Coke has undoubtedly taken Bellator to a new level.
In addition to signing big-name veterans, Coker has also brought in young talent. He’s worked endlessly to build up young fighters who have shown promise.
One fighter on the Bellator roster who seems to have all the makings of a future star is 29-year-old Ilima-Lei Macfarlane. After signing with the promotion in 2015, she became Bellator’s inaugural women’s flyweight champion.
