Scott Coker Names New MMA Promotion 'Ki MMA'

Scott Coker has a name for his next MMA venture: Ki MMA. The longtime promoter announced the brand on Monday, marking his formal return to running a mixed martial arts company.

Coker built his reputation as the founder of Strikeforce before it was absorbed by the UFC, and he later took over as president of Bellator MMA. Ki MMA is his next chapter, though the specifics of a launch date, roster, or event format have not been detailed publicly beyond the name itself.

What We Know About Ki MMA So Far

The only confirmed fact right now is the name. Coker revealed that his new promotion will be called Ki MMA, ending months of speculation about what he'd call his comeback project since word first broke that he was building something new. No fighters, no cards, and no launch date have been confirmed alongside the announcement.

What It Means for the Betting Markets

There's nothing to price yet. Sportsbooks need matchups and a schedule before any odds can exist, and Ki MMA hasn't announced either. For bettors, the real value here is watching the roster build out. Coker has a track record of stacking Strikeforce and Bellator cards with recognizable names, and whichever fighters sign on first will shape how sharp the opening lines look whenever Ki MMA actually gets fighters in the cage or ring. Until rosters and dates surface, this is a story to track rather than trade on.
