When Bjorn was discussing the plans for having 4 events in Florida in 2010, Bjorn did note "But we are going to be making some announcements next week relative to additional venue partners we got in other parts of the country."

Also Bjorn was asked about his favorite moment in Season 1 of Bellator and said, "My favorite moment from Season 1 was a moment that no one ever saw. There was a fighter that fought for us that had been originally been offered a spot to fight in the tournament, his name is Diego Garijo. He had a fight on a show we did, the show where Joe Soto beat Yahir Reyes for the 145lb title. Diego had a fight on that card that is probably one of the top 2 or 3 Mixed Martial Arts fights that I have ever seen"
