(The slim-n-trim Butterbean fell victim to a G-n-P at YAMMA's debut event.)

Well it finally happened...and without much of a hitch. YAMMA Bowl Fighting went down last night, but apparently it's still too much to ask for the organization to update their website. Shit, guys, it's just the click of a few buttons. Anyway, the main story was Travis Wiuff taking his record to 52-11 by winning three fights in the heavyweight tourney to pick up the title. He did so by using the leverage of the bowl's incline to take his opponents to the ground --- which is exactly what Meyrowitz said wouldn't happen with his ground-breaking new surface.

In other fights, Oleg Taktarov kneebarred Mark Kerr for the win and Butterbean verbally submitted due to a GnP from the fresh-outta-jail Patrick Smith. Overall, really boring night. Out of the eleven battles, seven went to boring decisions and three were less-than-thrilling submissions. There was only one KO --- a TKO to be precise. We'll see where YAMMA goes from here. Our guess is it'll slip into oblivion.

Here are the full results:

-- Oleg Taktarov over Mark Kerr - submission via kneebar
-- Patrick Smith over Eric Esch - submission via strikes
-- Travis Wiuff over Chris Tuscherer - unanimous decision
-- Travis Wiuff over Ricco Rodriguez - unanimous decision
-- Chris Tuscherer over Alexey Oleinik - unanimous decision
