LAS VEGAS – If Rani Yahya has one of MMA’s most dangerous ground games, no one told Tom Niinimaki . Or maybe they did, and he simply didn’t care. Showing virtually no fear of the Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt’s submission attempts, Niinimaki outworked Yahya for a split-decision win in his UFC debut. One judge gave Yahya a 29-28 score, but Niinimaki picked up a 30-27 and 29-28 for the victory.
