    Theres something we don't get much of here. I'd say #2 is the best timing wise. Nice color as well on all three

    Thanks JSPhoto,
    we don't get much of these events over here either, was 2 years since NJ got an UFC fight. Las Vegas is the place for this kind of event.
    It was my very first time in MMA, actually, the first time I took pictures of fights.
    Take care ;)

    I'd say that #4 conveys more of the character of the fighting ?
    I'm waiting for more ...

    nice shots, a great angle for this type of fight. what were these shot with, and what's the exif. most the arenas i know of are pretty dark, but whatever you were shooting with handled it very well.

    Re: UFC 78 (Fight)

    I used a Nikon D80 + 400mm f/2.8 .. I wish I had a faster camera but D300 didn't come out yet thanks a lot
    in these shots I was still trying to figure out what to do, since it was the first time there...
    but all the way with ISO1600.
    Then I figured out that 1/400 would stop the action and give me enough light, so I kept that until the end...
    The best pictures I'll post later tomorrow 5 or 6 more pics

    Nice captures. A few years ago, both my wife and I got really sick over a weekend and ended up doing nothing but laying in bed and watching a marathon of "The Ultimate Fighter" show on Spike TV. I've been a fan ever since. Thank goodness for food poisoning!
