If Mike Jackson doesn’t get another UFC opportunity, there’s already someone in Bellator looking to fight him.

Over the weekend, former reality TV star and rising Bellator fighter Aaron Chalmers took to Twitter to share that he has “asked” to fight Jackson.

We have asked for the Jackson fight there is a guy who is 5-1 in bellator who we have also asked for next, so let’s see

There’s just one thing about Chalmers (4-0 MMA, 1-0 BMMA), former star of the British version of “Jersey Shore,” asking to fight Jackson (1-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC). He hasn’t been released by the UFC.

Following his win over CM Punk at UFC 225, Jackson, who doubles as an MMA journalist, incurred the wrath of Dana White. The UFC boss called him a “(expletive) idiot” for showboating during the fight instead of finishing the overmatched Punk, a claim Jackson denies. White intimated that Jackson would be released.

“I don’t know what that guy did for a living before we gave him the shot, but whatever it was, he needs to go back and do that again,” White said. “He’s 0-2 as far as I’m concerned.”

Jackson, however, hasn’t officially been released by the UFC, but that didn’t stop Chalmers, who successfully debuted with Bellator last month, from calling out Jackson. It got “The Truth’s” attention, and a lengthy Twitter spat ensued.

At least tag me in the post

If you want it @TheTruthJackson then let’s have it, tagged #GetTheBag CC @ScottCoker @rtemike @rich_chou

Oh, so that’s what we’re doing? Did you not mention my name first? “We have asked for the Jackson fight…” And “muppet”? Is that supposed to offend me?

I said I’ve asked for the fight you tweeted me so I replied let’s do it? I thought you had some intelligence to put 2 tweets together

Chalmers is undefeated in four pro MMA fights, all by first-round stoppage. Jackson has split his two pro appearances in the UFC.
