Bellator President Scott Coker favors a rematch between Phil Davis and champ Vadim Nemkov for the next light heavyweight title fight, though he expects to make a final decision in the next few weeks.
“I think that’s kind of the way we’re leaning toward,” Coker told MMA Fighting on Tuesday.
Also factoring in to Bellator’s plans is current heavyweight champ Ryan Bader, who ceded the lightweight title to Nemkov in August in a lopsided TKO loss. Coker favors Bader defending his heavyweight belt, but he said he’ll leave it up to the former two-division champ when they next speak.
