Default YAMMA

I don't know if anyone has heard of this, but there is a new MMA organization emerging called YAMMA. Apparently their sticking point is that their fighting surface is bowl shaped, thus making it harder to control an opponent on the ground encouraging stand up striking, quick submissions and seamless transitions. What do you all think?

Chuck Norris' league (WCL) is striking only. There is grappling and submission in YAMMA.

oh, that would be interesting. grappling would be more difficult if you have to worry about a platform. how can i get more information? are there any video clips?
