“I think (Coker) knows what he’s doing. He’s good on what he does, so I think it’s going to be good for the promotion. As a matter of fact, I like it better without the tournaments because the champions can fight more often, we don’t have to wait that much for new opponents. Bellator has a lot of room to grow especially with Viacom, that doesn’t have any financial problems. I believe that Bellator will be bigger than Strikeforce was. It will be even better.”

With all the shakeups at Bellator MMA, the promotion’s leading slugger, Douglas Lima tells MMAFighting.com that he believes in the promotion’s new regime.

Is he right?
