But when the Brits headline Bellator 216 on Saturday (DAZN, 10 p.m. ET), the second of back-to-back events on consecutive nights at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., Coker at least will feel a sense of relief. “These fights are not easy to put together, and they don’t happen all the time,” Coker told USA TODAY Sports.
