Not long removed from Liam McGeary’s title cinching victory at Bellator 134, the promotion has announced that it has signed the light-heavyweight to a new, long term contract.

McGreay (10-0) worked his way to a unanimous decision win over Emanuel Newton last month to become Bellator’s new champ, and today the promotion confirmed that the 32 year-old has agreed to a muti-fight extension.

“I’m excited to have signed this contract extension with Bellator,” said McGeary.  “I know that I’ve got a target on my back as Champion, but I’ve never been one to walk away from a fight. Whoever Scott Coker decides to put across the cage from me next, it doesn’t matter. To me, their name might as well be ‘Victory #11’. I look forward to working with Coker and Spike TV for years to come.”

The Team Renzo Gracie fighter has gone 7-0 now since he arrived in Bellator in 2013. McGeary’s next bout has yet to be announced.
