You can almost feel the pain, just by looking at these shots. Good job just doesnt seem to cover it.

I have the Canon mount of that lens. It's a great little lens, IMO.

On a crop sensor it's real close to Canon's 24-70 brick, and actually a bit sharper. Lighting's gotta be good with this lens though, otherwise the AF will be dragging behind, leading to missed shots.

Some awesome shots! From the photographer and the combatants! I winched at some of the shots because they are so good the pain was felt looking at them.

Very nice shots. I can't wait I just shot a MMA event last weekend and have another one this weekend. Kimbo Slice is going to be the guest celebrity at this weekends event.

I find these images more than interesting as my son fights in MMA cage fighting, and recently came second place in his weight category.
This was in an open contest in Bath, England and it took four fights before he reached the final, but lost just by a small number of points.

I think you have captured in you series all that is MMA and Kick boxing, and i congratulate you on it.


Best regards Paul

Thank you.

I believe my boxing pics are better yet, though MMA remains my favorite sport to shoot.
