Scott Coker to launch Bellator Kickboxing in April on Spike



HOUSTON – Bellator, arguably the most prominent MMA promotion outside of the UFC, will soon add a kickboxing division to the company.

Bellator President Scott Coker and Spike executives today announced the upcoming launch of Bellator Kickboxing.

The kickboxing organization, slated for an April launch, will air on Spike like its MMA counterpart. Bellator’s MMA staff will run the kickboxing promotion out of its current Santa Monica, Calif., offices, according to Coker.

The first event is slated for April 16 and will be co-promoted with Oktagon Kickboxing. Pala Alpitour in Turin, Italy, plays host. Spike will air a live Bellator MMA event as a lead-in.

Melvin Manhoef vs. Alexandru Negrea headlines the kickboxing event, and ISKA 72kg champion Mustapha Haida moves up in weight to challenge Karim Ghajii for his ISKA 75kg belt.

Coker, who formerly headed Strikeforce and had a short stint among the UFC executive ranks, is a 30-year combat-sports promoter who got his start pushing kickboxing events. He took over the helm of Bellator in 2014.

According to the announcement, Bellator Kickboxing will feature notables such as Joe Schilling, Raymond Daniels, Kevin Ross, Keri Taylor-Melendez and Anastasia Yankova. Some events will feature a mix of MMA and kickboxing bouts, Coker said.

Fighters will be free to compete in one or both promotions, he said.

Dada is just another Miami street fighting dude. He started promoting full shows of street fights. He's the guy that initially promoted Jorge Masvidal and Alex "Bruce Leeroy" Caceras bare knuckle fights.
