Aaron Chalmers has always known how to turn heads. From reality TV’s “Geordie Shore” to the cage and the boxing ring, the lad has a knack for keeping us all on our toes.
But this time, he’s going bare-knuckle. Yep, you read that right—Chalmers has signed a multi-fight deal with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC).
And, in typical fashion, he’s not just dipping his toes in; he’s diving headfirst into one of the most brutal sports around, ready to scrap in front of his hometown crowd in Newcastle.
For those not familiar with BKFC, it’s like boxing’s wilder, rougher cousin—the one who shows up at family parties and breaks all the rules.
There are no gloves, no-nonsense. Just two fighters, their fists, and the will to brawl. And Chalmers? He’s got the fire and a pair of fists that don’t mind a bit of hard work.
After all, he didn’t survive the MMA cage and a dance with Floyd Mayweather in the boxing ring just to play it safe now.
From the Cage to the Squared Circle
Chalmers is a bit of an oddball in the world of combat sports—a reality star turned legitimate fighter. People scoffed when he first swapped late-night reality show drama for the brutality of MMA.
But the lad’s got guts. He clocked up a 5-2 record in the cage, showing that he wasn’t just some celebrity looking for a side hustle.
Then he decided to share the boxing ring with the one and only Floyd Mayweather, which, let’s be honest, takes a serious set of cojones.
Now, he’s jumping into BKFC with the same fearless approach, ready to throw down and make his mark in the most raw and unfiltered way possible.
Chalmers himself couldn’t be more pumped. “I’ve fought across MMA and boxing previously, but it doesn’t get any more real than BKFC,” he said.
“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 isn’t some weekend warrior talk—Chalmers is gunning for it. “This is a multi-fight deal, and I’m here to become the face of BKFC in the UK and across the globe,” he added.
Love him or hate him, you’ve got to respect his ambition.
Newcastle: Home Sweet Home for a Bare-Knuckle Debut
For Chalmers, fighting in Newcastle isn’t just business; it’s personal. He’s been in scraps at the Utilita Arena before, and he’s ready to feel that Geordie love again.
“The Utilita is an incredible venue, where I’ve fought many times before, and the Geordies are the best fans on the planet,” he said.
Now, whether that’s him buttering up the home crowd or just speaking his truth, it doesn’t matter.
Newcastle fans have always been known for their passion, and you can bet they’ll show up loud and proud when Chalmers steps into that ring on October 19th.
BKFC, for its part, isn’t just here to take part; they’re here to put on a show. They’ve already rocked the UK with events in Leeds and Coventry, and now they’re aiming to break their own attendance record.
And who better than Chalmers to help them do it? He’s a showman through and through, and his bare-knuckle debut promises to be a wild ride.
Why BKFC? Why Now?
Why would a guy with a decent MMA record and a taste of boxing glory decide to strip off the gloves and get down to bare knuckles?
It’s simple: BKFC is a different beast altogether. It’s raw, it’s brutal, and it’s got this old-school, back-to-basics vibe that’s hard to resist for a certain type of fighter.
You don’t step into a bare-knuckle fight unless you’re ready to bleed, and Chalmers seems all too eager for that test.
“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,” he shared.
BKFC has been on a roll lately, too, especially with the recent investment from none other than Conor McGregor.
It’s got that mix of chaos and credibility that’s making it the next big thing in combat sports. And Chalmers is ready to ride that wave all the way to the top—or die trying, as they say in the business.
A Geordie Lad with a Point to Prove
So, what’s Aaron Chalmers really after? It’s more than just a payday. The guy has a chip on his shoulder the size of the Tyne Bridge.
He’s got something to prove—not just to his critics, but to himself. He’s been knocking down doors and punching through ceilings his whole career.
This bare-knuckle journey? Just another chapter in the book of a man who loves a good fight, literally and figuratively.
He’s already talking about becoming the face of BKFC, not just in the UK but worldwide. Big talk, but for Chalmers, that’s standard.
And if you’re betting against him, you might want to think twice. When it comes to Aaron Chalmers, expect the unexpected.
He’s fought his way into the MMA scene, squared off in the boxing ring with a legend, and now, he’s ready to bare his knuckles and go to war. And I, for one, am grabbing my popcorn.
