On June 18th, 2014, Viacom announced that Bellator MMA CEO Bjorn Rebney was let go from the very company he founded, which paved the way for Scott Coker to come in as the promotion’s new President.

Eleven days later, Rebney made this seemingly random tweet that would stand as his last one until February 2016.

The MMA Twittersphere unsurprisingly took off with it, and even to this day still periodically retweets Bjorn’s “MEXICO!!” shout. What exactly was Bjorn talking about? Was he on vacation in Mexico? Did he buy property and permanently move to Mexico?
