The Yamma pit was promised to revolutionize the sport of Mixed Martial Arts in regards to the “lay-and-pray” style of fighting, and boy howdy did it ever deliver. Through the implementation of one-round bouts and a raised surface which places the defensive fighter’s legs right in prime grabbing room, the lay-and-pray was elevated to a true art-form, as the audience snoozed their way through an exciting night of fights which saw Travis Wiuff win the tournament.
“I’m just thankful for the opportunity,” Wiuff said after the event. “A lot of guys, in a lot of organizations, have to finish somebody to get a win on their record, but thanks to Yamma, I didn’t have to in order to get three, and that means the world to me.”
Fighting in the card’s Masters division, Mark Kerr took on Oleg Taktarov, and seemed genuinely surprised to find himself caught in a kneebar after going to the ground with “The Russian Bear.”
“I studied some tape on him before the fight,” Kerr said, “but that, I mean, there was know way we could have anticipated him throwing that at me in there. A kneebar from Oleg is pretty much unheard of.”
