Henry Cavill Girlfriend Gina Carano To Be Recruited By Bellator, Former ‘Strikeforce’ CEO Scott Coker Confirms Communication W/ The Ex-Champ’s Management Team

Henry Cavill girlfriend Gina Carano is also being recruited by Bellator according to MMA Mania. The report says that after the former Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker has taken over Bellator few months back, he has been busy boosting up the Viacom-owned company's MMA game. After recently booking of Marloes Coenen vs. Julia Budd, Scott reportedly talked about his latest move and his plans to add another women's division on a recent interview with The MMA Hour. He also revealed that the company is communicating with Gina Carano's management.

"If you look at our past, we have always believed in female fighting. Whether it was back in the kickboxing days on ESPN, I was the first person to do female fighting in the state of California in mixed martial arts; which was the Gina Carano vs. Elena Maxwell fight. And we did some big fights, Ronda fought for Strikeforce and I believe in it. We were the pioneers for female mixed martial arts and it's just a natural fit. We started getting contacted by camps around the world and Marloes and Budd became available and they wanted to come. Right now, we are talking to two other girls that we'll hopefully have on board soon. We're going to add another division in the next three or four months that will be in the lighter weight, but I can't say which one," he said in the interview.

"We've had one conversation with Brent and Scott and that was it. It was just one quick conversation and there was nothing really made of it. I think that Gina really wants to fight at 135. As far as Cyborg, we haven't talked to her because she is under contract and fighting with Invicta. But if she ever becomes available, then we will have a conversation with her. We don't have a 135 division and I can't say what (Carano) is going to do because she's got film commitments and she is very busy and has a good acting career. It's going to be up to her and her schedule," he added.

The said communication with the "Haywire" star's camp does not confirm anything yet.
