GEORDIE SHORE star Aaron Chalmers is back in MMA training as the BAMMA star targets a Hollywood showdown fight with WWE legend CM Punk.
The Toon TV star is reportedly ready to leave the infamous reality show to focus 100 per cent on his promising MMA fight career after three first-round wins.
The 30-year-old has been a part of the reality show since 2014 and his success on the show has allowed him plenty of down time to train in the gym.
And Chalmers is targeting another tattooed celebrity in Punk who was battered in his UFC debut and has an unclear future in MMA.
Discussing the high-profile fight, Chalmers told SunSport exclusively: “Apparently he’s still contracted to UFC. It’ll be interesting to see if he has another fight early in the year.
“If he doesn’t, I think Bellator might be looking to sign him. I’d love to do that fight later in the year.”
Despite harnessing a reputation as a boozy party boy on the hit show, Chalmers is totally dedicated to the cage and has another fight on the agenda.
Kevin Ferguson – the son of MMA and street-fighting legend Kimbo Slice – is in his crosshairs.

The Joker said: “Theres another fighter, Baby Slice – Kimbo Slice’s son – which I think would be a hellish fight.
“He’s had three fights and I’ll have had three. We’re both quite new to the game this year so it’s another fight that could make sense.
“He’s big in America and I’m big over here.”
The modest striker is too honest to overhype his abilities – unlike most MMA fighters – and admits he is not good enough to challenge for titles.
But – after coming to combat sports relatively late in life – he wants to put on massive shows for his cross-over fans.
Chalmers said: “I take every fight as it comes. I’m not looking to win belts because I’m not good enough.
“I’m looking to see how far I can go. I do it for myself and I like to test myself.”
