The MMA Power Play: Scott Coker's New League Aims to Shake Up the Combat Sports Landscape Scott Coker, founder of Bellator MMA, plans to launch a new global MMA league in 2027 with $60 million in financing from investors including Tony Hawk and Dean Dakolias.
This move comes at an opportune time for the sport, which has grown exponentially over the past decade to become a $20 billion plus global market with over 625 million fans worldwide.
The driving force behind Coker's new venture is his "fighter first" approach, which prioritizes athletes' needs and interests above all else.
