DoctorOctagon - Something not many people know about, and I only make mention of it because this ship has sailed so long ago...but the Yamma press packet included unauthorized use of UFC images. I was contracted to do some regional promotion of the show, and they sent me this press packet...it had pictures of Rampage, Liddell, a few fighters, all UFC images. No credit to the UFC or Zuffa of any sort...needless to say I passed on that information to the powers that be. What happened with it, I don't know...don't care either. I cashed my Yamma check and gave away a shit ton of shirts and hats. RIP Yamma, we hardly knew you and your dumb-ass pit.still have any of those shirts and hats? i need more for my ultimate YAMMA collection.

Yamma Champ Up!
YAMMA NEVER DIE
Nice article man!
Something not many people know about, and I only make mention of it because I want the attention it will undoubtedly draw...but I am personally associated with the Yamma Champa.

I'm happy I ordered the Yamma ppv. It was a solid show. Fun to watch.
Save the drama for YAMMAma!
what up UG
many of today's fans dont even remember yama pitfighting the day it happened but it was a miracle that it went off.
i saw Meyrowitz on hdnet talking about having this senior circuit and a few days later got a call from franc nguyen in arlington tx asking if i could help pat smith get a fight.
i told franc i could only feel comfortable asking Meyrowitz to put smith on a show cuz smith was 45 yrs old and didnt feel comfortable asking joe silva or coker to put him on their shows.
i didnt know Meyrowitz personally but i googled him and he put me in touch with mike popp the matchmaker. i made a fight with pat smith vs. taktarov. but smith was arrested a few days later and had to be scratched from the card.
i was able to get nick lembo of njsac to agree on how we could get smith back on the card providing the charges could be dropped which they did except mike popp had to move ahead with the card and for a few days we had no fight even though lembo cleared smith.
in the end smith fought butterbean. smith weighed 245 lbs chisled. butterbean weighed 438 lbs .
what a bizzare journey just to get to fight night

i was pitside for that event. fight nerd, is it true the yamma pit now rests in bob meyrowitz's backyard and he fills it with jello for kids' parties?

yes, the yamma pit funnels the children into the center of the jello, making sure they dont stall by hanging onto the fence. the kids either adapt... or they go extinct. back to you bruce!
i think the actual pit is still lying in a warehouse in jersey somewhere. id pay money to have that put together again for one night and hold fights in it...
LTL - Yamma & Wamma could have been unstoppable.
Don't forget the British promoter BAMMA.
I was hoping that Traivs Wiuff could unite the YAMMA-WAMMA-BAMMA titles, but alas, it was not meant to be.
