My fight in pictures

Everyone keeps asking for video, video, video. Still none yet; Battlefield told me after November they can put it up on Facebook. Let's hope. Anyway, my old poker friend Kevin Wong is apparently now an MMA photographer. He was kind enough to send me close to 300 photos which pretty much sum up the event in pictures; I've selected a few dozen of them:

Fighters: more weight-obsessed than teenaged girls




Warming up backstage with Kirk



Final instructions


Measuring the ring, getting a feel for distance

Butterflies?

Nah, just way too happy to fight!


Touch of gloves


This was the uppercut I mentioned that reminded me I was in a fight.

Takedown into mount








Almost bridges off the cage but I keep side control


Trying to crucify





Too much space on the armbar



He starts to escape

This was the second armbar that was very deep. Note unnatural bend in elbow.

End of Round 1, gathering my breath

A little bit tired

...but still having way too much fun









Thinking about a mounted triangle

But the game plan was stay on top if the submission isn't there


Ref starting to think about stopping it

Getting closer...

Best feeling in the world

Apparently I decided now is a good time for a cardio workout...






Backstage again


All smiles after the win. Until next time...

The End.

  1. Nice set. I like the way you managed to get your sponsor's logo in a great action shot. :)

  2. Do you still have your mouthpiece in? Just kidding, very cool photos. You looked pretty calm and relaxed throughout.

  3. I think it was about 6 hours later that I'd removed the last piece of equipment from my body.
