Joe Vedepo Bellator MMA will not keep light heavyweight veteran Joe Vedepo under contract in the wake of his arrest this past week in Iowa City, Iowa. Bellator President Scott Coker said the fighter, who earlier this month lost a third-round TKO to Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal at Bellator 131, was under a one-fight deal with options to extend it. “He needs to get these things figured out first,” Coker told MMAjunkie. Vedepo, 32, was taken into custody after he allegedly refused to leave a bar and then scuffled with several police officers, one of whom he headbutted in the chest and sent to the hospital with back injuries.
