Bellator president Scott Coker told FanSided that KSW wants Paul Daley for their London show in September.

Just last week news broke that KSW was interested in a cross-promotion trade with Bellator but while KSW CEO Martin Lewandowski was silent on exactly who he wanted from the United States-based promotion, Bellator President Scott Coker wasn’t. He revealed that the European promotion wants one of their biggest stars — Paul Daley.

“You know, Martin emailed me and I emailed him back and we’ve been going back and forth,” Coker told FanSided. “We would love to do it. Timing is going to be an issue with him because he needs to do something in September, and you know in the U.K. right now, we’re very busy. We just announced the Michael “Venom” Page fight today. He wants to use Paul Daley, but Paul might be fighting for us in October, so we’ll try to work it out.”

It appears as though Lewandowski may not get his desired opponent in time for their Sept. 14 bout, a 50th show celebration but it’s clear that Coker is open to working together.

“I think eventually we will [cross-promote] because Martin – I think we’ve been talking for almost a year and a half, two years to get something done. What I would tell people [is] to be patient because we have a business to run and he has a business to run, so the timing has to all workout. Once we get the timing together, then it won’t be a problem because we respect him as a promoter, and I consider him a good businessman and he’ll be here for the long-term. So, I would like to work with him.”

Coker is coming off the heels of the last cross-promotion a champion vs. champion trade between Rizin’s Kyoji Horiguchi and Bellator’s Darrion Caldwell. They fought twice, once under the Rizin banner for the Rizin bantamweight title and once for the Bellator bantamweight title. Horiguchi won both bouts.
