Bellator president on what will happen to Minakov if he doesn't get an American visa

Scott Coker, Bellator president, spoke about what fate awaits the organization's former champion Vitaly Minakov if he fails to obtain an American visa.

"It's a different time now compared to 3-4 years ago. That's why I'm very happy to see Minakov here today at this tournament. We will try to do our best to make sure that the fighters get the necessary visas. Sometimes we manage to arrange that, sometimes not. Since we're expanding outside the United States and organizing tournaments in England and going to do in Asia or the Middle East, we're going to solve the problem with Minakov in that way so he can get back into the title race that way," the functionary said.
