Papazian vs. Ware Headline Badbeat 8 Fight Card
Mar 10, 2013 Comments
(PRESS RELEASE) -- Badbeat MMA (B-MMA) announces 11 professional
MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) fights for ‘Badbeat 8 presented by
Budweiser’ on Friday, March 15, 2013 at the ‘World Famous Commerce
Casino’ (Commerce, CA). The Main Event will be a battle between UFC
veteran Jared ‘The Jackhammer’ Papazian and the up-and-coming
prospect whose stock continues to rise, Terrion ‘Flash’ Ware. In
addition, top Badbeat MMA featherweights Steve ‘The Dream’
Magdaleno and Chris ‘The Urban Legend’ Culley square off in the
Co-Main Event. The Badbeat 8 Main Card is rounded out by some
highly anticipated bouts, which include Mychal ‘Bolo’ Clark, Diman
‘Steel Legs’ Morris, Joseph ‘Leonidas’ Henle, Miguel
Cosio, Tom ‘The Grinder’ Gloudeman and Ernest
Chavez. BAMMA USA CEO Brett
Roberts described the fight card as “one of the best we have
had for Badbeat MMA,” adding that “the highest level of MMA skills
will be on display for this event.” Badbeat MMA is the professional
MMA fight league of BAMMA USA.
Main Event: Jared ‘The Jackhammer’ Papazian (14-9-0 1NC, 1-0 B-MMA) vs. Terrion ‘Flash’ Ware (4-1, 1-0 B-MMA)
Jared
Papazian makes his Badbeat MMA return in the Main Event of
‘Badbeat 8 presented by Budweiser’. Papazian recorded a unanimous
decision win at Badbeat 1, and after a three fight slide in the
UFC, ‘The Jackhammer’ looks to regain his winning ways in his
return to the Badbeat MMA cage. Terrion
Ware, on the other hand, is on a two-fight win streak, his last
coming by split decision at Badbeat 7. Both fighters look to remain
undefeated in the promotion and the winner looks to solidify their
position in the Badbeat MMA Bantamweight Division.
Co-Main Event: Steve ‘The Dream’ Magdaleno (9-3, 1-0 B-MMA) vs. Chris ‘The Urban Legend’ Culley (15-10, 2-0 B-MMA)
Main Card Bouts
Mychal Clark (9-13, 1-0 B-MMA) vs. Diman Morris (4-1-1, 0-0-1 B-MMA)
On March 16, 2012, Mychal ‘Bolo’ Clark executed and landed a spinning back elbow right on the bridge of Josh Bennett’s nose. Not only did the TKO win bring an eruption of applause from the Badbeat 5 crowd, it also brought national media attention to the former Strikeforce veteran. Clark aims to continue the momentum going for him at Badbeat 8. Diman ‘Steel Legs’ Morris’ last Badbeat MMA appearance was an unimpressive three round lackluster performance against Nick Moghaddam, which the judges ruled a draw. Now that Morris has changed camps and is more focused on professional fighting, he is prepared for a three round war with Mychal Clark.
Joseph ‘Leonidas’ Henle (8-1-1, 1-0 B-MMA) vs. Miguel Cosio (2-10, 0-1 B-MMA)
From November 2010 to August 2012, Joseph ‘Leonidas’ Henle reeled off five consecutive wins including an impressive first round TKO victory at Badbeat 3 in August of 2011. This will be a rare local appearance by the ‘TUF’ (The Ultimate Fighter) Season 5 cast member and current MFC middleweight contender, when he faces Miguel Cosio. Though Cosio’s MMA record may not show it, the Muay Thai champ is an ever-evolving striker; and with his 6’4” frame, Cosio poses a tough matchup for any middleweight or light heavyweight fighter.
Tom Gloudeman (6-3, 0-2 B-MMA) vs. Ernest Chavez (5-0, 0-0 B-MMA)
For most in the audience at Badbeat 7 last October, Tom Gloudeman was a minute and a half away from earning a decision victory over Chris Culley. However, Culley turned it all around when he connected with a couple of strikes leading to a TKO win in the last minute of the fight. ‘The Grinder’ Gloudeman is more hungry than ever to earn a win in the Badbeat MMA cage but he has to get past Ernest Chavez first. Chavez, a BJJ practitioner, makes his promotional debut at Badbeat 8. With over half of his wins coming by way of decision, fans can expect a grind-it-out performance by these two high-caliber fighters. A victory may come down to which fighter can capitalize on their opponent’s mistake.
Featured Preliminary Fight: Valdez vs. Bahngte
The Preliminary Card features a mix of young up and coming fighters looking to a make their mark in the promotion along with experienced MMA fighters looking to continue their climb to Main Card status. In the Badbeat MMA Lightweight Division, the scheduled fight between Matt Bahngte and Jorge ‘The Envy’ Valdez will be the featured fight on the preliminary card for ‘Badbeat 8 presented by Budweiser’.
