Hi guys, I took these last Saturday night (7/23):

The 4th, 18th and last really stand out to me.
On that shot of the referee you placed the chainlink well, and the blurring of the fence adds to the image.

Thanks SW.

I often make the photos more about what interests me rather than pure sports shots, and sometimes they overlap. I half-jokingly showed the photographer next to me the photo of the referee and said this was going to be the shot of the night.

Great stuff man! Very good color. Big John is a nice guy huh.

I did that dude get that arm bar/ choke?

[JMK]

Thanks ZD.

I'm sure John is a nice guy, but I didn't meet him. I suppose I could've, but didn't feel like doing the "fan" thing. I figure that people that travel for work, stay in hotels, and eat "road food" probably like the little bit of space and privacy when they can get it.

Yeah, that armbar ended the fight.

Wow, those are some pretty intense shots! Great work.
