Chas Skelly (born May 11, 1985) is an American retired mixed martial artist who competed in the featherweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. A professional since 2009, he has also competed for Bellator MMA and Legacy Fighting Championship.
Background
Skelly was born in Bedford, Texas, but moved to Pennsylvania at a young age. Skelly began wrestling at the age of five and later moved back to Texas, attending Azle High School where he also played baseball and football, but quit the latter two sports when he was a senior to focus on wrestling. He held an overall record of 164-3, was a four-year letterman, and won a state championship during his senior year in 2003 while competing in the 140 lbs. division. Skelly continued wrestling at the collegiate level for Oklahoma City University where he earned All-American honors with a 7th-place finish at nationals. He began mixed martial arts after he became a wrestling partner for former UFC fighter Johnny Bedford.{{cite web|url=http://www.bjpenn.com/bjpenn-com-exclusive-team-takedown-fighter-chas-skelly-prepares-waiting-for-his-shot/|title=BJPenn.Com Exclusive: Team Takedown Fighter Chas Skelly Waits for His Shot While Racking up Wins - BJPenn.com|date=21 September 2012|access-date=12 October 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150206043715/http://www.bjpenn.com/bjpenn-com-exclusive-team-takedown-fighter-chas-skelly-prepares-waiting-for-his-shot/|archive-date=6 February 2015|url-status=dead}}{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/blog/dallas/mma/post/_/id/183/is-chas-skelly-ready-for-the-next-level |title=Is Chas Skelly ready for the next level? |website=Espn.go.com |date=2010-03-05 |access-date=2017-04-26}}
Mixed martial arts career
=Early career=
Skelly made his professional MMA debut in 2009 and won his first two fights in the first round via submission and TKO, respectively. Less than a month after the latter win, he was signed by Bellator MMA.
=Bellator MMA=
Skelly made his Bellator debut at Bellator 9 on May 29, 2009, and won the fight via split decision.
Still undefeated, Skelly won his next three consecutive fights before making his next appearance for the organization on May 20, 2010, at Bellator 19, facing Daniel Pineda. Skelly had previously defeated Pineda via submission and defeated him again in the rematch via kneebar.
After a two-year layoff due to injuries, Skelly again won his next three consecutive fights before his next appearance for the organization at Bellator 96 on June 19, 2013. He faced Jarrod Card and won via unanimous decision.

In March 2014, it was announced that Skelly has signed with the UFC. He made his debut against Mirsad Bektić on April 19, 2014, at UFC on Fox: Werdum vs. Browne.{{cite web |url=http://mmajunkie.com/2014/03/undefeated-featherweights-mirsad-bektic-chas-skelly-meet-at-ufc-on-fox-11/|title=Undefeated featherweights Mirsad Bektic, Chas Skelly meet at UFC on FOX 11|publisher=mmajunkie.com|access-date=2014-04-09|date=2014-03-21}} He lost via majority decision. The fight was nearly stopped in the second round as Skelly landed a pair of illegal knees as Bektić was grounded against the cage, prompting the referee to deduct a point and allow him five minutes to recover. Bektić clearly was hurt and wobbled as he returned to his feet but was able to continue after a brief break.{{cite news|url=http://mmajunkie.com/2014/04/ufc-on-fox-11-results-photos-mirsad-bektic-survives-illegal-knee-tops-chas-skelly|title=UFC on FOX 11 results, photos: Mirsad Bektic survives illegal knee, tops Chas Skelly|publisher=mmajunkie.com|author=Steven Marrocco|access-date=2014-04-19|date=2014-04-19}}
