Former Bellator champ and UFC vet Will Brooks signs with ARES FC

Will Brooks is the latest fighter to join ARES FC’s ever-growing roster. The former Bellator lightweight champion has found a new home in the Afro-European promotion, who held their inaugural event in December.

Over the past few months, they have signed a number of notable names, including the likes of Wilson Reis, John Moraga and Nordine Taleb. ARES FC are also home to the massive Senegalese wrestling sensation, Reug Reug. This latest signing was announced by new ARES FC matchmaker, Alan Murphy, on Twitter during Sunday afternoon.

Brooks (20-5-1) rose to fame with Bellator, capturing the promotion’s lightweight belt with a split decision win over Michael Chandler in 2014.
