What Did the YAMMA Really Mean?

The new YAMMA surface was supposed to revolutionize the way MMA fights are fought. But what do the numbers from Friday’s event tell us about the way the YAMMA surface really affects fights? FightMetric contributor Brent Wilson takes a closer look at the stats from the inaugural YAMMA event and provides answers to the following:

* How did the raised edges affect the clinch game?
* How do takedowns in YAMMA compare to takedowns in the ring or cage?
