Yamma Headaches Continue
Veteran fighter Gary Goodridge (23-15-1), who was scheduled to fight Eric "Butterbean" Esch (10-5-1) in a "Masters Superfight" at YAMMA Pit Fighting's debut show, suffered a knockout at an event (Khan) this past weekend.
The KO, which came to Mu Bae Choi in South Korea, has also knocked Goodridge out of the April 11 YAMMA event.
According to a New Jersey Athletic Control Board representative, Goodridge will not be cleared to fight at next weekend's event due to concerns over health and safety.
The loss of Goodridge is the latest in a series of changes to the YAMMA event, which takes place at the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City, N.J. on April 14th.
It was reported that Mark Kerr had been announced as the new opponent to fight Oleg Taktarov in the night's main event. However, the same NJACB official said that Kerr is still serving a suspension issued in Connecticut and that he will not be approved for the YAMMA event unless he's reinstated.
With Goodridge and possibly Kerr gone from the card, both of the night's "Masters" fights are in jeopardy.

Wow, this has been nothing but drama from the start...
