Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Yamma Pit Fighting was a mixed martial arts promotion that was created by original UFC promoter Robert Meyrowitz. The promotion''s first and only event, YAMMA 1, was held on April 11, 2008 in Atlantic City, New Jersey at the Trump Taj Mahal. It featured a unique fighting arena, 2 "masters" fights Patrick Smith vs Butterbean and Oleg Taktarov vs Mark Kerr. The YAMMA Pit arena was a large circular cage with a surrounding fence on the edges of a bowl-like floor with slanted edges. The stated purpose of the new structure was to prevent fighters from trapping their opponents into a corner: the rising edge of the YAMMA Pit was to prevent stalling and facilitate more action. This idea failed in practice, as the slanted edges would cause any fighter defending a takedown to lose their footing as soon as they were pushed towards it, which rendered any attempt to escape to their feet pointless as they''d just be taken down again.
