Once again, BAMMAUSA showcased some of Southern California’s best young, and in the case of Robert Gleckman 48, older MMA talent. The fight card featured former UFC fighter Jared ‘The Jackhammer’ Papazian, local favorite Terrion’ Flash Ware, as well as the aforementioned Gleckman who was victorious in his 2nd professional fight.
The fights were held outdoors, at the picaresque Braemar Country Club in Tarzana. Press row, was quite a long way from any internet connection so please excuse the erratic results.
Also, The Be First Clothing ‘Fight Night’ Bonus went out to David Duran (KO of the Night) and too Ozzie Avalos (Submission of the Night)
