On this week's episode of "Inside the Hexagon," we chat with Strikeforce Founder/CEO and current Bellator President Scott Coker. The man responsible for "Shamrock vs. Gracie" discusses putting the event together, the long road it took to get MMA legalized in California, and what his original plans for the main event were (hint: it involved a Japanese legend). In addition, Coker discusses transitioning from kickboxing, the indomitable Frank Shamrock, how Cowboy Cerrone saved Strikeforce, the rise of Cung Le, and much more.
