Aaron Chalmers has revealed his opponent for his next MMA fight and is prepared for a much tougher contest than his debut.
The Geordie Shore star won his first professional MMA fight during BAMMA 29 in front of a packed crowd at Birmingham's Genting Arena.
He beat Greg Jenkins with a first-round submission after just two minutes, and prompted many to agree he may have a bright future in the sport when it was first derided as a PR stunt.
Now Mirror Sport can reveal Chalmers will face Alex Thompson at BAMMA London on September 15 at The SSE Arena Wembley, London.

As Chalmers explains to Jade Morris in the above video, he is expecting a much tougher encounter in his second fight.
He is expecting a "dog fight" against Thompson, who is more of a grappler who will be keen to take Chalmers to the ground while the reality star is more comfortable on his feet.
In his first fight, Chalmers escaped an arm bar before catching a dazed Jenkins in the crucifix position before forcing the submission with an Americana lock.

After the win he said he "can't wait to do it all again".
"That was the most pressure I’m ever going to have," he told Morris.
"Now that pressure’s off. The first one’s done. I know what to expect.
"I don’t think I’m going to get the reception I got in Birmingham, with all the booing, I think now I can sit back, enjoy myself and let everything I’ve trained for, put it into practice."
