UFC 109 Workout for AOL Fanhouse

Hey all! I wanted to post a link to the gallery over at MMAFighting.com/AOL Fanhouse of yesterday’s media workouts for UFC 109. It was lots of fun watching Chael Sonnen cartwheel and handstand his way across the mats in a tiny, stinky, sweaty room filled with mats and members of the media.

Training Camp: Mike “Quick” Swick

We’re back with another video (finally!) and this time for AOL Fanhouse / MMAFighting.com.  Casey and I drove up to AKA with Jason “Mayhem” Miller to do all kinds of shoots and put together this video on Mike “Quick” Swick who will be facing Paulo Thiago at UFC 109 this weekend.
It was a great experience [...]

Strikeforce: Miami

Oh my.  I am so exhausted.  But pretty happy.  As usual, I’m a wreck because I stayed up until 11 am this morning uploading and editing photos — and like the disgruntled artist I’ll forever be, I’m only partly satisfied with the work I did last night.  Regardless, I wanted to share my favorite shots [...]

Fight Week in Florida

UFC Gym Grand Opening in Concord

This past week was FILLED to the brim with activities, ending with the grand opening of the UFC gym in Concord. It was super packed. I don’t know how many people showed up but the gym’s VP Adam Sedlack estimated it at 10,000 people which I might believe considering how difficult it was [...]

Road Trip: I-15 after 108

If we’re not on a plane, we’re in our car, driving either to or from Las Vegas on Interstate 15, to or from a Zuffa show, and we pass by skeletons of grand ideas, quiet, abandoned, burned.  Last time, we stopped to snap photos of a burned semi (which is still there, two months later), [...]

More Fun With Posters + Update

Here’s another fun poster I whipped up just for the hell of it, this time for the co-main event at Strikeforce: Miami, Cris Cyborg vs Marloes Coenen. What do you think?

Just For Fun: (fake) Fight Posters

Feeling inspired by the new year and unusually warm winter (here in LA, anyway), I threw together two posters for the upcoming Strikeforce event on January 30th in Sunrise, FL.
