Yamma Pit Fighting video of Ricco Rodriguez Vs Travis Wiuff in the tournament semifinals. It is both of theirs second 5 minute bout of the night with the winner moving on to the final. |

if (is_feed()) { die(); }
The Yamma TV crew totally missed the low blow. Booooo bad editing. Not a great fight either. I think Ricco would have had a chance, had it gone 3 rounds. He looked pretty sharp from his back, but Wiuff was too savvy in avoiding his submissions.
Dude.. what the hell is up with that commentator saying the dumbest stuff. “I dont like that jumping stuff”…. He serves no comedic value, he just sounds like a dumbass considering he probably can’t identify the maenuvre(yeah the spelling is wrong lazy as fuck and drunk) but still.. I mean the superman punch isnt ‘jumping stuff’ its a move that actually connects quite a bit and is unexpected sometimes. Idiots.. in Yamma lol.
Totally agree with Dan, who the hell is this commentator? He doesn’t like the jumping stuff!?
This is not a good start for Yamma. ZzZzz…
First of all, all the fight have sucked, this one included.
The announcer sucked. “I don’t like that jumping stuff.” Who gives a !@#$ what you like, STFU and add something to the match.
The camerawork sucked. What was with that useless, zoomed from-above shot? And panning the crowd when the fight is going on?
The entire production screams “amateurish.” Dana White is probably pissing himself with laughter.
hooo my god What were they thinking?
hahah this is wrestling stupidity at is finest.
i hope next time Yamma Pit Fighting make a better Tournament.
to me yamma is the WCW of UFC to WWE. all the old and fat fighters needing a second chance go to relive the glory days..
I foresee some neck injuries taking place in the near future. You could really get some good elevation for a slam off that invert. Mark my words that type of cage will produce some sick injuries. Did Rico give birth recently?
after the low blow, commentator “neutral corner?” it’s a circle???? does the lip around the edge really add that much? they claim it spend up the pace and “no stalling” but the hugging was cute
i dont like the jumping stuff , pfff fuck of mate, stupid comment. ask gsp if mat hughes head likes the jumping stuff.
i FUCKING LOVE THE JUMPING STUFF !!!!
how did rico get so bad? it blows my mind, he’s only 30 and looks like an old fat f*cker
the whole concept of keeping the fights from stalling totally failed and is rediculous. now instead of being against a cage there laying against the slope. you cant stop wrestlers from taking and pinning people down in mma and if they were hoping the slope would force continous action why bring in a bunch of wrestlers that you know are gonna go for the take down immediatly (like mark kerr whos success comes from pinning his opponent against the cage) the rounds are too short even for tourament format and the so called master fights are nothing more than fighters that are well past there prime. the butter bean fight was just sad. when he hit the ground he looked like a whale out of water.
i thought mark kerr fought oleg taktaroff?whys he fightin again
didn’t seem like much more ‘action’ to me.
that was awful
haha “i dont like that jumping stuff” lol its called a super man punch u numb nuts….man…not a good start to this so called “yamma” pit fighting is it terrible camera work and a lame fight..oh and look at ricos gut hang over his trunks!
I could put on a better production in my backyard, just reconfigure my dogs kennel fence to an octagon or circle, spread some hay and throw a tarp down over it. Then I would get my mom to commentate because I am sure she would be better than these fruits.
This productions sucks. Ricco, while fat, looked a little better than his last fight. I’ve never heard of the other guy. The commentary sucked, and the camera totally missed the low blow after the ref ordered the stand up with one minute to go. Prediction: Yamma out of business by the end of the summer.
disapointing start 4 yamma there
The announcer needs to hang himself! “I just don’t like that jumping stuff?!?!?”
Pathetic! Sounds like my grandfather calling this fight!
Damn Ricco looks physically out of shape. But when he was on his back,he did pretty well. The CAMERA crew sucks. The announcer seems to don’t know what the fuck he’s talking about and over all the fight was fuckin boring. Ricco was on that Vh1 show celebrity rehab. Now he needs to be on Celebrity Fit CLub. HA!
dude do you think ricco could fight 3 rds
“I dont like that jumping stuff” hahahaha Shadddup, do you know how many people have been ko’ed by that punch? haha this reminded me of the first UFC where noone had a clue about MMA,did that commentator ever watch an MMA fight before?
Hard to believe this is the same guy that submitted Couture due to strikes.
lol @ “I don’t like the jumping stuff” who the f*** was that guy? A superman punch labeled as “jumping stuff”…ummm, i love the superman punch! lol. And ya, as has been said, instead of wrestlers pinning the opponent up against the fence, they just pin him against the slope…Also, why bring in these way past their prime, well known fighters of old, instead of some young guys who will actually put on a good/exciting show…please..The first couple episodes of the new season of ultimate fighter was infinitely better than the fights posted from Yamma Pit..
I don’t see how an sloped surface would stop ground game. I if anything a good grappler would circle his opponent up the incline and the shooting a double is even easier. The guys legs are up more level with your shoulders or the ankles are even easier to pick.
I give Ricco credit for beating his Coke addiction, but it seems he has started a new addiction: Pasta.
Ricco, for Pete’s sake, get back in shape. You look like Tank Abbott! Eat some steak and vegetables and cut back on the carbs, if you did you probably would have won. You are slow, and you can’t do anything dynamically.
Mark my words, if Ricco lost the weight we would be seeing a whole different fighter. What a shame.
rico needs to go from celebrity rehab to celebrity fit club.
Yamma shit fighting
WTF? I wonder where they found the announcers? Also, worst ref ever? Watch the Butterbean fight!
Yamma’s looking pretty pathetic so far. Maybe if they could get two fighters under the age of 30 and in good physical shape and with a hint of skill left in them, they’d be ok, but right now it’s pretty ugly. Guess everyone with an ounce of heart has been signed by the other leagues already…
wow, Scott Ferall’s announcing sounds like he should be deejaying in a stripper club.
The “bowl” was supposed to pick up the pace- didn’t happen- seemed to allow the ground guys an easier time with the takedowns.
dear god I hope to never watch this again- thank god I didn’t order the pay per view.
Is it just me or was butterbean like a turtle on his back – once he was downed even I coulda won that fight- was he hoping for a Rocky style career comeback?
YAMMA must die or at least fade away into the anals of MMA history – as an experiment gone horribly wrong.
Wow, Ricco looked fatter than usual. He should go onto pseudo-celebrity fit club or whatever that t.v. show is where all those people try to lose weight.
I still wouldn’t watch.~
Ricco doesn’t need “Celebrity fit club” he needs to stop stuffing his face and hit the gym. The guy knows what he needs, I just think he thought he could go into this with his impressive set of skills and take it without training.
He embarassed himself against a guy who should have been a stepping stone, and it should be a wakeup call if nothing else.
