\nTill<\/a> has a dance partner for his first BKFC foray.<\/p>\n

The former UFC title challenger will square off against Aaron
\nChalmers<\/a> at BKFC 90 on May 30 in Birmingham England. Till
\nannounced the bout during an appearance on “The
\nAriel Helwani Show\u201d<\/a> on Tuesday. Till also revealed that he
\nsigned a \u201cmassive,\u201d three-fight contract with the organization.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Till announced that he was parting ways with
\nMisfits Boxing, with an announcement regarding his next move coming
\nsoon. \u201cThe Gorilla\u201d went 3-0 while capturing a title during his
\nstint under the Misfits banner. Till emerged as a star early in his
\nUFC career thanks to victories over welterweight stalwarts such as
\nDonald
\nCerrone<\/a> and Stephen
\nThompson<\/a>. After suffering a second-round submission defeat
\nagainst Tyron
\nWoodley<\/a> in a 170-pound title bout in September 2018, the
\nLiverpool native was never the same, ending his promotional tenure
\nwith losses in four of his next five appearances.<\/p>\n

Reality TV Meets Combat Sports<\/h2>\n

While Chalmers was a cast member on the UK reality TV show \u201cGeordie
\nShore,\u201d he also has his fair share of combat sports experience. The
\n38-year-old compiled a 5-2 record in MMA while competing for
\nBellator and BAMMA. Since then, Chalmers has competed in number of
\nexhibition boxing bouts, and he has also gone 2-0 under the BKFC
\nbanner.
