“So there is a lot of trust, and there’s a lot of friendship. Khabib is a super honorable martial artist. We have a good relation with them and we’ll support them when we can. I told them we have a business to run as well, and when we can support you we will. There’s nothing off the table.”

Scott Coker meant that he is willing to help Khabib and Mendez and that Bellator will support them when they can. Eagle FC has done well from themselves and has received a lot of attention in the media as well.
