FINALLY! You Can Gamble on YAMMA

by Brent Brookhouse on Apr 5, 2008 10:51 AM EDT in MMA News

Mark Kerr +190
Oleg Taktarov -240

Eric Esch +140
Patrick Smith -170

When you consider that Kerr has fought 10 times since 2000 (and 3 times since February of '07) while Taktarov has only had one fight since '98 those odds seem a little odd to me. I expected the line to be a bit closer to even there. But Kerr tends to be so fucked in the head that maybe it makes more sense than I first thought.

Regardless, as long as I have some money riding on the show maybe I'll actually not hate myself for watching, and believe me...it's been such a train wreck this far I pretty much have to tune in.

There is no way in hell that Pat Smith is the favourite over Butterbean. Pat Smith is gonna get killed.

Best MMA Line Ever: Nogueira doesn't lose fights he just runs out of time.

Re: FINALLY! You Can Gamble on YAMMA

This is the beginning of a new MMA event with some mystery behind it. I think it is definitely worth 35$ for a ppv event. Who knows it might just become popular and you'll be the first to see it. Just as I remember watching the first UFC and every one thereafter. If the ring is done properly I believe it will be a step above what is offered out there. A new fighting environment will show different concepts and techniques in fighting. It's only $35 and it's not like we have the opportunity that often to see butterbean and Taktarov fight (other than 1 winning fight it's been 10 years since we've seen the sambo expert fight for real and not just in the movies) And the whole tournament concept coming back. If we see enough money thrown at the purses you could see some big names in the future ... like RIcco Rodgriguez fresh off of celebrity rehab!Of course you can always watch it on dojotube.com but it is definitely worth viewing on the big screen.
