YAMMA Pit Fighting Debut — Should Be Awesome

I can’t help it. It’s not UFC, most of the fighters might not be “top contenders” these days, and maybe it’s just a bit cheesy, but I am super excited about tonights YAMMA Pit Fighting debut. They’ve done a super job at making two “superfights” that I am anxious to see. I never thought I’d get to see Pat Smith and Eric “Butterbean” Esch fight. They really are two of my favorite fighters to watch, ever. I remember Pat Smith from the early UFC days when he would start a fight off by running across the cage and front-kicking some dude backwards, and of course I think most people remember his laying some vicious elbows across the face of a ninja by the name of Scott Morris.

Butterbean is just Butterbean. He will knock you the hell out.

The other “Superfight” is a match between Mark Kerr and Oleg Taktarov. I just saw Oleg recently in that movie Rockaway. For some reason, I’m thinking Oleg is going to win this just because I imagine he’s stayed in better shape over the years.

The rest of the event features a Heavyweight tournament. The fight card is as follows:

George Bush vs. Ricco Rodriguez
Marcelo Pereira vs. Travis Wiuff
Tony Sylvester vs. Chris Tuscherer
Alexey Oleinik vs. Sherman Pendergarst
