What did you ask him or what did you guys talk about? Did he look big (no homo)?

Mostly talked about real estate prices comparing Vancouver to Bay Area lol convo didn't get too deep and I didn't want to ask typical fighter questions but he is a big fukking dude, I ran into Mike Chiesa and also saw Daron Cruickshank and Josh looked much, much bigger than those guys. I've met a few other fighters and he looked as big as Rashad and Shogun to me.

Also got some free tickets to the event tonight, mutual friends with someone who knows Kajan Johnson, don't think the events selling too well so they gave a bunch of free tix which aren't bad, lower bowl. I have another obligation but I'm gonna be downtown going to try an sneak away for the main card at least.

Spike TV today announced that Bellator MMA’s top two executives have parted ways with the company.

Bjorn Rebney, Bellator’s founder, chairman and CEO, as well as company president and COO Tim Danaher, have the left company, effective immediately.

A reason for their departures wasn’t given.

Although recent reports have suggested former Strikefoce president and ex-UFC executive Scott Coker could take over Rebney’s position, today’s announcement stated no replacements have been named at this time.

“It is with bittersweet emotions that I announce that I am leaving the company I founded,” Rebney stated in today’s release. “I have great pride in having turned my vision into reality, a thriving business with television distribution to over 140 countries around the world, a partnership with one of the world’s largest entertainment giants and wide array of sponsors, partners and strategic allies all over the globe.

“This has been a wonderful eight plus years of creation, development and success. I will miss the courageous, strong and dedicated fighters I have had the pleasure of promoting, and equally, I will miss the incredibly hard working, remarkable team that has become a family for me over the years. Viacom and Tim and I differed in our views of the right strategic direction for Bellator, but Tim and I both wish them well.”

“I feel very privileged and honored to have been one of the guiding forces for developing Bellator into the largest MMA tournament based organization in the world,” Danaher stated. “I’ve made tremendous life-long friends and feel blessed to have worked with such talented and dedicated people.”

Spike TV President Kevin Kay offered his thanks to both executives.

“I would like to thank Bjorn and Tim on behalf of Spike and Viacom for their dedication and hard work building Bellator from the ground up,” Kay said. “They worked tirelessly in getting Bellator to where it is today. They were great partners to work with and we wish them all the best.”
