A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of shooting the MMA fights in Roswell. I quickly decided MMA is the funnest sport, following rock climbing, to photograph. Non-stop action!

I have been working on an audio slideshow of the fights as well but have not had time to finish the edit… hopefully I’ll have it done by the end of the week!
