Aaron Chalmers wins Bellator debut via stunning first round submission

The reality star turned mixed martial artist took part in his fourth professional fight last night in the curtain raiser for Bellator 200's main card. 

Standing in front of the former Geordie Shore star and his fourth win on the bounce was fellow Brit Ash Griffiths, who on paper was the toughest opponent the Newcastle native has faced to date. 

Chalmers, who celebrates his birthday today, emphatically passed that test by seeing off Griffiths with a first-round submission victory.

The opening moments of the Chalmers' debut in mixed martial arts' second biggest promotion was somewhat slow as the pair felt each other out.

That soon changed when Griffiths shot in and landed a double-leg takedown, though Chalmers managed to make his way back to his feet.

Upon returning to his feet, and finding himself on the receiving end of a big knee to the face, Chalmers dropped Griffiths with a solid left hook. 

Griffiths managed to return to his feet but did so in a daze and unable to defend himself.

Chalmer’s didn’t let the golden opportunity slip through his hands, slapping on a standing guillotine which rendered his opponent unconscious.

After registering the biggest win of his mixed martial arts career, Chalmers sent a message to those doubting his commitment to mixed martial arts.

"I've been working a lot on my ground game, I took a knee, it woke me up, then bang, sit down son," the 31-year-old said in his post-fight interview with John McCarthy.

"If you don’t like it then f*** you, simple as that I’ve got the best team with me in England.

"That’s why I just put him away in the first round, simple as that."
