Filed under: Bellator , Featured Videos , News , Videos NEW YORK – Scott Coker said there will be no repercussions for the brief scuffle between Chael Sonnen and Wanderlei Silva at today’s Bellator NYC pre-event press conference. During their first faceoff in more than four years, Silva (35-12-1 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) shoved Sonnen (28-15-1 MMA, 0-1 BMMA) during the photo op. Sonnen tried to respond, but before he could move forward, Bellator President Coker and on-stage security intervened . Coker previously said he would try to avoid such a situation and preserve the 205-pound headliner, which takes place at Madison Square Garden in New York City and airs on pay-per-view following the Bellator 180 portion of the card on Spike and MMAjunkie.
