Scott Coker questions UFC event frequency and champions' visibility

Scott Coker, former leader of Strikeforce and Bellator, expressed concerns regarding UFC's event frequency, suggesting it may lead to oversaturation in the sport. In an interview, he stated that he struggles to name current champions, which he believes reflects a broader sentiment among fans. Coker, now planning a new MMA promotion set to launch in January 2027, has raised $60 million from investors for the endeavor. His initial strategy includes hosting 12 fights in the first year, with potential for expansion, aiming to create a distinct appeal compared to the UFC's frequent offerings.
