Bellator 200’s Aaron Chalmers has a 7-figure deal to make his MMA career
nt"
LONDON – A lot of MMA fans question whether Aaron Chalmers is the real deal. He’s got some time to show them.
The undefeated Chalmers (3-0 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) told MMAjunkie that a one-fight deal with the promotion turned into a multi-fight contract with Bellator that’s worth seven figures.
The former star of “Gordie Shore” fully intends to make a splash in the promotion, starting with a Paramount-televised victory over Ash Griffiths (4-5 MMA, 0-1 BMMA) at Bellator 200, which takes place Friday at The SSE Arena in London.
“I’m on a good run, and Ash is not going to spoil it,” he said.
Although the bout is being contested at a catchweight, Chalmers plans to move down to lightweight for future bouts. He figures he is too small to compete with bigger welterweights, though he leaves the option open for future fights if the cut to 155 pounds is too severe.
Chalmers said his last fight proved that despite his entertainment background, he could take a punch and keep coming. Against Griffiths, he said he’ll be ready to go wherever the fight takes him.
“By the sound of it, it’s going to be a (expletive) good fight,” Chalmers said.
