Announced today (Nov 13th) on the Arena Rumble website...

The main event of Beerbohm vs Martinez has been postponed for a date TBD. The rest of the card will be made up of up and coming local amateur fighters and will include 3 championship belts.

The reason for the postponement was multi faceted and had to do in part with being unable to secure the necessary licensed MMA officials from the Washington Department of Licensing over a Thanksgiving holiday weekend in enough advanced time to properly promote the fight card and a professional show. The Washington State Commission worked very hard to make this happen, given the time constraints faced with the fight 2 weeks away it was necessary to convert the fight from Professional event to an Amateur fight format.

"It's disappointing," noted Arena Rumble promoter Brady Nelson "Without having the needed officials scheduled we were unable to announce the fight card or do any further marketing for the event until the situation was remedied. We felt the right thing to do was postpone the pro fight card and replace with an amateur fight card as we still wanted to give the fans in Yakima a first rate show and feel they will be very pleased with the event we are now putting on."

Many of the fights that were to be scheduled will be moved to the next big Pro event in Spokane in February.
