The highly anticipated Combat8 match-up between Lightweights Ben Wall and Bernardo "Trekko" Magalhaes has been scrapped. News of the cancellation came first from Ben Wall on social media before promotion confirming the news later.

The reason posted by Wall was due to a 'registration issue,' with the Combat Sports Authority which oversees the the sport in the state of New South Wales. Wall posted:

"My fight has been cancelled. After I woke up at 5:45am to cut 7kg in my bath at home and feel like s**t all day and at the airport on the plane... get to the weigh ins with my blood reports as O always do and make weight as I always do and afterwards while I am sitting down re hydrating they come over to tell me I am not fighting due to registration issues. We also spent $140 on costumes for my ring entrance. I am absolutely heartbroken and now broke too. Trained so hard for this one. That's my life. Put all my heart into it and it is taken away at the last minute AFTER the weigh ins. Still I am hopeful they let me fight and will be ready tomorrow either way."
