Former UFC middleweight Nate ‘The Great’ Marquardt (31-10-2) is set to debut with the UK based BAMMA promotion on December 10 at the Capital Arena in Nottingham, England as part of the BAMMA 8 event.

No opponent has been announced but Marquardt is likely set to make his welterweight debut and could possibly meet the likes of Paul ‘Semtex’ Daley, Tom ‘Kong’ Watson or Frank Trigg at the event.

Nate Marquardt will make his BAMMA debut on Dec. 10, the organization announced on Wednesday.

The former UFC middleweight contender, who signed a multi-fight contract with the UK-based organization in July, will compete at BAMMA 8, which will be held at the Capital FM Arena in Nottingham, England. No opponent has been signed for his debut.

This will mark Marquardt’s first fight since his release from the UFC in June after the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission ruled that his testosterone levels were too high to compete against Rick Story at UFC Live on Versus 4.

BAMMA 7 takes place this Saturday night in Birmingham, England, and chances are high that if Paul Daley beats Jordan Radev, “Semtex” will be the one to welcome Marquardt to BAMMA.

“I don’t think it’s any secret that Paul Daley is one of the bigger names here in the UK,” Marquardt’s manager Lex McMahon told MMAFighting.com on Thursday. “If he wins Saturday, that is a fight we would be interested in.”

Speaking of BAMMA 7, the organization announced on Thursday that the card will air live outside the UK and Canada on Facebook. UK fans can watch the main card live on Syfy and Canadian fans can watch it live on The Fight Network. The event will be headlined by Frank Trigg vs. “Judo” Jim Wallhead.

Former TUF 8 Winner Efrain Escudero Forced Off BAMMA 7 Card

Tweet Former “The Ultimate Fighter” season eight winner, Efrain Escudero (17-3) has been forced to withdraw from the upcoming BAMMA 7 event due to visa issues.

Former “The Ultimate Fighter” season eight winner, Efrain Escudero (17-3) has been forced to withdraw from the upcoming BAMMA 7 event due to visa issues. Escudero had been scheduled to meet British fighter Tim Radcliffe on the main card of the UK event.

Escudero reported the news to MMAWeekly.com on Monday, saying that issues over his visa prevented him from flying to England today. So the fighter and his manager decided to simply withdraw from the event rather than waiting to see if the issue would be resolved later in the week.

“Apparently they couldn’t fly me in, in time, they wanted to fly me up on Thursday and I would get there Friday at 1 o’clock and there’s no way.”

“They said it was a visa issue, they couldn’t, I really don’t know the full scale about it. They said it was a visa issue.”

BAMMA 7 is scheduled to take place on September 10 at the NIA Arena in Birmingham, England and is highlighted by a middleweight main event between Frank Trigg vs. Jim Wallhead.

Escudero was released from the UFC a year ago after a submission loss to Charles Oliveira at UFC Fight Night 22. Escudero faced Oliveira in a 159 lbs catchweight bout, and failed to make that weight for the fight.

Since then the TUF winner has gone on to fight five times in the last year, going 4-1 with various promotions. His last victory came in July at a local event in Miami, Florida.
