Mixed martial arts, or MMA, recently became legal in the wonderful state of Maryland, USA. I had the 'pleasure' of being able to photograph the 2nd ever MMA event in the state. Much to the chagrin, of (seemingly) everybody in there. But, hey! I did it! I didn't know what to expect, and honestly, it wasn't quite as entertaining as I was hoping. I think, maybe, it was just some inexperienced guys, who need a little more training, because each of the 6 fights ended in the first round. Pretty astounding. The ring sluts (i think that's their official name) even made a 'joke' by picking up the Round cards and walking around the crowd, just to say they did something. Overall, it was a good experience, but I wish the fights were longer. It definitely affected the quality of my photos, as well as the obnoxious yellow mat they fight on. Really leaves a muddy, yellow, shadowy hue to the skin tones and looks kinda ugly. Did what I could though. Check out the shots. Feedback is greatly appreciated.
