Speaking after the Belfast show, Scott Coker talked to reporters on site about the upcoming Bellator show in London on May 19. Unlike the promotions last two shows in the UK and Ireland, Coker confirmed that the London show would be independently promoted and that it would not be a co-promotion with BAMMA.

"No, that's going to be a Bellator only and It's going to be one of our 'tentpoles'," Coker confirmed. "We only do seven of these a year and it's going to have all of our biggest guns and it's going to be a stacked card."

Saw the full scrum from which this article was pulled.

He mentioned that negotiations with Larkin were going well. Coker also mentioned something about having Gallagher fight on the London card.

I think they're going to try to put Linton Vassell vs Liam McGeary on this card as well.
