Daily Downer: A Final Look at YAMMA
We promise, no more Pit Fighting-related posts after this, but we wanted to officially drive the nail through the bowl-shaped coffin with these two videos.
First, the semi-final match between Ricco “#1″ Rodriguez and Travis Wiuff, notable for the classic line “I don’t like that jumping stuff.” The crowd shot at the 2:37 to 2:40 mark is priceless. (As is Ricco’s gut at the 4:45 mark.)
Also, here’s the dreadful Scott Ferrall announcing video that broke the Internet when we tried to post it from DojoTube yesterday. It’s up on YouTube now, and all is right with the world.

“Are you ready to dance shake it OOOOOOOOH!”

WOW. That announcing was f-ing terrible. ‘Phoenix Arizona in the valley of the desert’ was my favourite bit.

OMFG that is the funniest shit EVER. Has he ever heard himself talking in a playback? Like, ever?

It’s just wrong to make fun of people who’ve lost their vocal chords to smoking. Listen to him pushing his words out and wheezing. That’s sad.

that was the worst announcments i have ever scene. i was hoping one of the fighters would just go to him and choke him out. someone should really sit down with this guy and give him a reality check. i feel sorry for his family.

That douche is represents YAMMA perfectly.

That was actually kinda painful to listen to. I think the computer voice of Steven Hawking would have been more exciting!

that guy was like someone out of the fuckin simpsons!

I wonder if he got this job with a walk-in or phone interview….I mean it was hard to listen to him for 3 minutes much less an entire interview proccess….and how did he find out about this job, and what made him beleive he met any of the requirments….it must haver been an ad in the paper that said, ring announcer needed….must sound like you are holding the mic up to a cancerous hole in your throat….then he said “wow that’s me!”

Wow, the yamma bowl really DOES eliminate the lay-and-pray tactics which plague other, less exciting, promotions!

“In the land of lakes…10,000 of ‘em baby.”
“Pacing like he wants a piece.”
“You can feel it.”
This dude what Dana Carvey would do if he was sending up fight announcers. He also sounds like an old auctioneer with lung cancer.

Sorry I missed this one, I was at Fort Benning doing something stupid in the woods. On second thought I would rather be picking ticks off my ballsack than watch this Yamma crap OMFG.
