Business as Usual Update: Former Strikeforce President and CEO Scott Coker Quietly Demoted to Executive VP and General Manager

An interesting tidbit to come out of this week’s UFC Fighter Summit is that former Strikeforce president and CEO Scott Coker has been quietly demoted to the role of executive vice president and general manager of the recently Zuffa-purchased promotion.

Coker’s New Strikeforce Role

No official announcement was made about the title change and it’s unclear if Coker’s role with the promotion will change as a result. However, the agenda for the week-long event revealed the news that managed to slip under the media radar.

The question is, will someone like former WEC GM and current UFC VP of community relations Reed Harris be named as Coker’s successor, or will UFC president Dana White’s title become “UFC and Strikeforce president?” I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
