Kid Yamamoto's career resurrection tour just can't seem to get out of the garage. Back in December of 2010, Dana White announced that the UFC had signed the then 33-year-old "Kid" off a win over Federico Lopez at Dream 14. Five and a half years later, and Yamamoto has fought just four times. He has yet to get his first UFC win.
Yamamoto had been scheduled to face Chris Beal at UFC Ottawa on June 18th. The bout would have marked his first fight since a no contest against Roman Salazar in February of 2015. Yamamoto had been scheduled to face Matt Hobar in Japan last September, but the bout fell apart when both fighters withdrew due to injury.
