LONDON – Aaron Chalmers surprised a fair few people – including some of his own fans – with his submission victory over Fred Freeman at Bellator London on Saturday night, and it even cost some of those fans money after backing their man to get the win via his preferred method of striking. One such fan was Twitter user @MitchelPayne, who tweeted Chalmers (5-1 MMA, 2-1 BMMA) after the event to congratulate him on his victory, but also let him know that his submission victory cost him a tidy with the bookies. Payne tweeted Chalmers, saying: “Wish you knocked him out! Was not expecting the class ground game, well done man.” Wish you knocked him out!

LONDON – Aaron Chalmers said during fight week he had been working every day on his wrestling in preparation for his Bellator London fight with Fred Freeman , and that work paid dividends as he earned a second-round submission win at The SSE Arena, Wembley on Saturday night. Chalmers’ preference in previous fights had always been to strike, but the Newcastle, England native seemed much more willing to engage in the clinch, and much of the opening round was spent up against the fence as both men canceled each other out.
