HCL 18: The Hair Pulling Ceasefire was the eighteenth mixed martial arts event held by the Human Cockfighting League. The event took place on March 24, 2013 from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California.

Event
This event featured seven sanctioned mixed martial arts bouts. All fights consisted of three five-minute rounds, except for the main event championship fight, which consisted of five five-minute rounds.

In the main event, Leo Serengeti suffered his first loss in HCL, losing via unanimous decision to Jorgi Magumbo in a fight for the Heavyweight Championship. This was the first fight in HCL history to go to a fifth round, and to last all 25 minutes. The result was so close that HCL front office members said the two would meet again at HCL 22 in a third rubber match, with #1 contender Salvador Topanopoulos waiting to face the winner at HCL 26.
