Daniel Bryan gets called out.
Despite never competing in a sanctioned MMA bout, Daniel Bryan has made his fair share of enemies in the world of MMA. Following UFC 225, Bryan stated that he could beat Mike Jackson, the man who defeated CM Punk at UFC 225, "on the ground" if the two were to fight. Appearing on an episode of Heated Conversations, Bryan remained confident that he could hang with Jackson if the two were to fight. You can check out full quotes from that interview here.
Now, Bellator MMA fighter Aaron Chalmers is calling out Bryan.
Chalmers is 4-0 as a professional fighter, having most recently defeated Ash Griffiths at Bellator 200 in May. He's finished all four fights -- two by (T)KO, two by submission -- in his professional career. He's also a reality TV star, having appeared on Geordie Shore (the British version of Jersey Shore) and Ex on the Beach.
Chalmers is also confident that he could beat MMA fighter turned professional wrestler Matt Riddle.
Riddle has not fought since 2014. He is currently part of the NXT brand. Daniel Bryan has trained various aspects of MMA over the years, but has never fought professionally. He currently holds the WWE Title on SmackDown.
