With a prospective welterweight bout between Paul ‘Semtex’ Daley (28-11-2) and Nate Marquardt a real possibility for the upcoming BAMMA 8 card, word comes from Daley himself that he will not be participating at the December event.
Daley posted a notice on his Facebook page letting all of his fans know that his management and BAMMA were unable to book the fight.
“Just thought I’d let my supporters out there know, that I will 100% NOT be fighting on BAMMA 8 now. BAMMA and my management tired hard to make the fight happen, but some things were beyond their control.”
Marquardt is already booked to in the main event to crown the first BAMMA welterweight champ. Many fans and media had thought that Daley would be the likely candidate to oppose ‘The Great’ at the UK Event. With ‘Semtex’s’ Facebook post, the British based promotion will have to find another worthy opponent.
BAMMA 8 is scheduled to take place on December 10 at the Capital FM Arena in Nottingham, England.
Daley is scheduled to fight in Montral, Quebec, Canada on October 21 in the main event of a Ringside MMA 12 event against former UFC vet Luigi Fioravanti.
“Cut to 170? In how long? Like we don’t already know how this will end.”
When former UFC middleweight Nate Marquardt initially signed with BAMMA, most of us wondered who, aside from Paul Daley, Marquardt could fight in the organization. Nate Marquardt is currently set to make his BAMMA debut at BAMMA 8 on December 10 in Nottingham, England. While Nate has been busy vying for a fight with Paul Daley, it is starting to look like this fight may not happen. At least not any time this year.
Earlier this week, Paul Daley took to his website, stating, “I’m sorry to announce that I will not be fighting on the BAMMA 8 card in Nottingham on 10th December. Details as to why I will not be appearing on this card will remain undisclosed. I was most definitely looking forward to competing in front of my home town crowd, and was positive the event would have gone down in, not only Nottingham’s prestigious fighting history, but in UK MMA history as well… The rumours of a possible matchup between myself and Nate are now extremely unlikely to happen.”

Not to read too much into the whole undisclosed reasons thing, but Paul Daley is currently set to fight fellow UFC veteran Luigi Fioravanti at an October Ringside MMA event. Perhaps he just doesn’t want rush himself into a fight with Nate Marquardt on short notice. But that last sentence? What can possibly be keeping Paul Daley from fighting Nate Marquardt? It’s not like Paul Daley has to worry about Zuffa calling him, considering its lack of a 176 lb division. And that whole lifelong ban thing, I guess. Is Daley assuming that Nate Marquardt will crush his opponent at BAMMA 8 and then get called back up to the UFC?
Nate Marquardt seems just as confused by this statement. As he told to MMAWeekly, “I don’t know if he’s scared that he can’t make weight or what. I don’t get it.” Really? Do you need us to spell it out for you?
What’s your take on this? Will this fight never happen, or is Paul Daley just delaying the inevitable? And who can BAMMA find to fight Nate Marquardt? Your thoughts below.

Former UFC vet Frank Trigg is set to face Jim Wallhead in the main event of BAMMA 7.
In part three of Trigg’s video blog series, the middleweight has a sit down interview the day before the event weigh-ins to talk about training, not eating fish that still has it’s skin on, watching Anderson Silva fight, fighting at 185 lbs, how Nick Diaz is a “much tougher opponent” than Carlos Condit (@15:42) , Josh Koscheck and lots, lots more.

Paul Daley, Andre Winner and Jim Wallhead all earned decision victories at Saturday’s British Association of Mixed Martial Arts card on Saturday in Birmingham, England.
Daley, the Strikeforce and UFC veteran, pounded away at Jordan Radev for the better part of 15 minutes and won an easy unanimous decision. Going into the fight, everyone knew Radev’s only chance was to use his superior wrestling to get on top of Daley, but Radev rarely did that until the very end of the fight, after Daley had already turned Radev into a human punching bag for two rounds. Daley, who came in six pounds overweight for the fight, won 30-27 on one judge’s card, and 29-28 on the other two.
Winner, the former Ultimate Fighter contestant, beat Jason Ball 30-27 on all three judges’ scorecards. It was Winner’s first fight since being released by the UFC following his loss at UFC 132, and although Winner’s victory on Saturday wasn’t particularly exciting, Winner said afterward that his losses in the UFC showed him that he needed to re-focus and take a more cautious approach inside the cage.
“My last fight I was too tense and just looking for a knockout, so this time I wanted to stay relaxed,” Winner said afterward.
Wallhead beat the aging veteran Frank Trigg by split decision, with one judge giving the fight to Wallhead 30-27, another giving him the fight 29-28, and one judge seeing it 29-28 for Trigg. It was an entertaining enough fight, but both men tired out as the bout wore on. For the 39-year-old Trigg, this may be just about the end of the road.
In other BAMMA 7 action, Jack Marshman won a brutal, bloody brawl with Carl Noon by third-round TKO, winning BAMMA’s first British Middleweight Championship. And the undercard featured several exciting finishes, highlighted by Rob Sinclair stopping Diego Vital with a brutal knockout punch in the third round.
