WILL TAKE ON ASH GRIFFITHS IN MAIN CARD BOUT ON KVĚTEN 25 AT THE SSE ARENA, WEMBLEY
LOS ANGELES – Bellator is proud to announce that reality star turned MMA fighter Aaron Chalmers (3-0) will make his promotional debut on the main card of historic Bellator 200 proti Ash Griffiths (4-5) at The SSE Arena, Wembley in London on Pátek, Květen 25.
Fighting out of Newcastle, Anglie, Chalmers steps inside the Bellator cage following three first-round stoppage victories under the direction of BAMMA. Chalmers is a well-known cast member of MTV’s British reality television series “Geordie Shore,” having appeared for 10 seasons beginning in 2014, as well as MTV’s “Ex on the Beach.” He would go on to make his MMA debut in 2017, winning his first bout via submission in the first round. “The Joker” has since defeated two other opponents in under a minute and now looks to take the next step in his professional career.
Griffiths turned pro in 2013, fighting regionally in England, prior to making his debut with Bellator last year during the main card of Bellator 191 Newcastle. Hailing from Willington, Anglie, the nine-fight veteran provides a tough test for the newcomer. Fans can expect fireworks, when these two compete for bragging rights in front of their U.K. crowd.
The catchweight contest joins a stacked card that already includes a Bellator middleweight title matchup pitting current champ Rafael Carvalho (15-1) proti Gegard Mousasi (43-6-2), a rematch betweenheavyweight fan-favorites Mirko Cro Cop (36-11-2, 1 NC) a Roy Nelson (23-15), while former titleholder Phil Davis (18-4) bere na Linton Vassell (18-6) in a light heavyweight matchup and undefeated British striker Michael "Venom" Page (12-0) splňuje David "Caveman" Rickels (19-4, 2 NC) na welterweight.
