YAMMA Pit Fighting appears to be doomed. Five Ounces of Pain is reporting that yet another fighter has been pulled from the inaugural show scheduled for April 11th. The scheduled bout between Gary Goodridge and Butterbean has been altered again, due to Goodridge being injured in a fight in South Korea over the weekend. The New Jersey State Athletic Control Board has stated that Goodridge will not be approved to fight over health concerns.

This is just another in a handful of canceled or altered matches for the inaugural show for YAMMA. Despite the fact that it is still being advertised on their website, a match between Oleg Taktarov and Mark Kerr has not been approved by the NJACB because of Kerr is still under suspension in the state of Connecticut and won't be approved until he's reinstated.

It's hard to think how YAMMA can pull a great show out with so many advertised fighter continuing to be pulled for various injuries and\or suspensions.
