The first question Canadian middleweight Aaron Jeffery fielded at media day ahead of Friday's Bellator Champions Series card in Belfast was about his trademark mullet."I've probably seen two or three mullets maybe," replied the 31-year-old from Tillsonburg, Ont.
"I mean they've announced it as the No. 1 contender fight so I don't know what else I need to be told to believe that. I'm hoping so," he said. The SSE Arena show is the first for Bellator since it was purchased by the Professional Fighters League in November — and the first of eight Bellator Champions Series events in 2024, each featuring title fights.
"I didn't get the title fight but I got the next best thing. He's ranked No. 1. He just fought for the belt," Jeffery said of Edwards."I want to work my way to the title and this is the guy who's going to get me there.""That's not really what I want to do. I think I'm going to rough him up. I'm going to make it gritty, I think I can out-grapple him, I think I can outpace him. I think I can break him in there.
Back in Tillsonburg, homemade posters showing his face and the words"Home of the Mullet" have popped up recently.
