Muscles, Tattoos and Blood... Oh My! Photographing UFC 131 in Vancouver...

I made my UFC debut last month... as a photographer, not a fighter. I photographed UFC 131 in Vancouver and having never shot or even watched UFC before; I had no idea what to expect. Photographing new things is always interesting but when the new things you are shooting involve blood, tattoos and creative nicknames like "The Polish Experiment"... then shooting new things quickly becomes a blast!

Here are some photographs to take you through my first experience with Ultimate Fighting...

My first fight... American Darren Elkins defeats Japan's Michihiro Omigawa...


My first knockout... Heavyweight Joey Beltran over Aaron Rosa...




My First Blood... Canadian Nick Ring makes James Head's head bleed...




Best Nickname... Krzysztof Soszynski as "the Polish Experiment" ... the heavyweight defeated Mike Massenzio...


First standing submission.... Middleweight Chris Weidman traps Jesse Bongfeldt with a standing guillotine choke...




My First Flash Knockout... Sequence of photos of Sam Stout's knockout of Yves Edwards...









My First Main Event... Junior Dos Santos defeats Shane Carwin...





.... and some other random photographs from UFC 131 in Vancouver ...

Donald Cerrone defeated Vagner Rocha

Mark Munoz defeats Demian Maia

Kenny Florian defeats Diego Nunes
