(PRESS RELEASE) -- Two fights have been officially announced for Badbeat 8 including the Main Event between UFC vet Jared Papazian (14-9-0, 1 NC, 1-0 BMMA) and Terrion Ware (4-1, 1-0 BMMA). Badbeat 8 is scheduled for Friday, March 15, 2013 at the ‘World Famous Commerce Casino’ (Commerce, CA).

Main Event: Jared Papazian vs. Terrion Ware

Jared Papazian makes his Badbeat MMA return in the Main Event of Badbeat 8. Papazian recorded a unanimous decision win at Badbeat 1. 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 Magdaleno vs. Chris Culley

Steve Magdaleno (9-3, 1-0 BMMA) is enjoying a three-fight win streak. His last victory came at Badbeat 6 where he displayed an impressive use of elbow striking which led to a first round TKO win for ‘The Dream’. Chris Culley (15-10, 2-0 BMMA) is on a two-fight winning streak of his own. Both of Culley’s last two wins have come inside the Badbeat MMA cage. ‘The Urban Legend’ comes off of a TKO finish of his own in his last bout. These two fighters like to finish their fights, the question is, who will succeed? All questions will be answered at Badbeat 8.
