Geordie Shore star Aaron Chalmers joins Connor McGregor-backed Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship

Aaron Chalmers, one of Newcastle’s biggest playboys with the hit Reality TV show Geordie Shore, has signed a multi-fight deal with the Connor McGregor-backed Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship.

Having dabbled in MMA with a 5-2 record, which included an exhibition fight against boxing legend Floyd Mayweather, Chalmers has opted to return to the combat world after initially retiring, more specifically, with Bare Knuckle Fighting.

Discussing his return to the sport on and first fight in October, Chalmers explained: "I’ve fought across MMA and boxing previously, but it doesn’t get any more real than BKFC. I think it’s the most exciting sport in the world, and I’m here to dedicate myself to being the best in the business. This is a multi-fight deal, and I’m here to become the face of BKFC in the UK and across the globe.

"I’ve heard incredible things about the promotion, from the attention placed on medical care, to the overall treatment of the fighters, and I’m really excited to be a part of it. The Utilita is an incredible venue, where I’ve fought many times before, and the Geordies are the best fans on the planet. I know they’re going to come out in full force on October 19, and it’s going to be the start of something special for me."

Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) is the fastest-growing combat sport in the world, and under the financial backing of superstar McGregor, the sport is going from strength to strength.
