10 Ways Scott Coker Can Improve Bellator To Compete With UFC

10. Bring Back WMMA Divisions!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXJxcT2Redk You know who you constantly hear about in MMA these days? Ronda Rousey. And yes, WMMA in the UFC was initially the Rowdy Rousey show, but it has expanded, and fans have come to know fighters like Miesha Tate, Alexis Davis, Cat Zingano, Liz Carmouche, Sara McMan, and others as well. Once upon a time, Bellator had women's MMA as well. Rosi Sexton, Megumi Fuji, Jessica Eye, Jessica Aguilar, Jessica Penne - these names ring a bell? They should, because they're all fantastic fighters, and they all fought in Bellator. Bellator had a strawweight women's tournament, and numerous flyweight bouts, Bellator could have really cashed in on the current interest in WMMA - but they chose not to stick it out, cutting their final three WMMA fighters in Spring 2013. Bjorn Rebney said at the time that the company wasn't able to provide enough opportunities for the ladies to fight, which led to their dismissal. That's the failure of the promotion, however, not the ladies, and with so many prospects out there in WMMA and interest at its highest, it would be wise to reconsider.
