Bjorn Rebney on Bellator 59, Alvarez VS Aoki, and fight of the year

The Fight Nerd caught up with Bellator CEO, Bjorn Rebney, after Bellator 59 in New Jersey. Rebney spoke to us about the events that night, including the sour ending to their heavyweight tournament, Kurt Pellegrino’s retirement, and the controversial decision that saw Marcin Held defeat Phillipe Nover. We also discuss the potential for Eddie Alvarez VS Shinya Aoki now that Alvarez is without the lightweight title, and what the CEO thinks is the fight of the year.
