Back to MMA

Tonight I heard about a cage match happening just down the road at a hotel, so I decided to go check it out because it's been a long time since I've photographed MMA. There were about 20 fights, all being amateurs, and there were about 9-10 fights outside of the ring, all being drunk idiots.

Just some random shots from tonight that I liked.
