Steven Marrocco of MMA Weekly shouted as I rolled into the UFC media center at the Mandalay Bay Event Center, “Road warrior!” and I looked up and laughed, but I couldn’t think of myself as a warrior. I just do my job, my job happened to be back-to-back shows this week. After uploading the Strikeforce [...]
Strikeforce Challengers: Woodley vs Bears Gallery
I was in Kansas City shooting Strikeforce Challengers: Woodley vs Bears for Strikeforce and here’s the gallery from the night. All in all, great fights and Vera had a great showing for her Strikeforce debut. My favorite fight was Erik Apple vs Bobby Voelker. Watching Voelker come back from being rocked early in the first round was really thrilling, and the crowd went wild for their hometown boy making an amazing comeback.
In KC for Strikeforce Challengers
Sorry for the lack of updates, Casey is in Vegas for UFC and I’m in Kansas City for Strikeforce Challengers. We’ve been doing our duties in the MMA world and not posting enough here. So here’s some photos from my week here in KC. And no, I haven’t had any BBQ yet, much to my [...]
Photos: Strikeforce Fight Week Favorites
My week at Strikeforce: Fedor vs Rogers began with a visit to Soldier Field for the Chicago Bears vs Cleveland Browns game with the main event fighters, then sightseeing around Chicago with The Last Emperor and his posse. Here is a gallery of my favorite images from the week including my favorite studio shots.
Photos: Fedor vs Rogers Post Presser
Because I’m still organizing files and thoughts, here’s photos from the post fight press conference. My favorite is the one of Fedor while he listens, a blurry image of Brett Rogers behind him, and caught flash as light source.

Strikeforce Chicago Feature Shoot
Yesterday, I spent my day behind the scenes of the CBS feature shoot for this Saturday’s upcoming event featuring Fedor Emelianenko vs Brett Rogers, Jake Shields vs Jason “Mayhem” Miller for the middleweight title, Fabricio Werdum vs Antonio Silva, and Sokodjou vs Gegard Mousasi.
Manny Pacquiao is Awesome.
Just wanted to share this video of Manny Pacquiao performing “Sometimes When We Touch” on Jimmy Kimmel Live. I think Pacquiao singing this song is just lovely and honest, little squeaks and all. And darn brave.
Photos: Jake Shields at the Gracie Academy
As mentioned in our Mayhem video post, we had a catastrophic hard drive failure that took our Jake Shields video planned for release last week with it to the data cemetery. However, the photos survived because they’re on a separate system — and because I’m just a lucky duck, and will promptly backup my entire [...]

All Elbows caught up with “Mayhem” Miller during his training for the upcoming Strikeforce Middleweight Title fight versus Jake Shields in Chicago this Saturday (on CBS!). We hope you enjoy this little insight into Jason “Mayhem” Miller.
Workin’ the Press Side at UFC 104: Part Two
At last! Weigh-in day was finally upon us but the day started much earlier with a UFC and Spike organized media breakfast with Shane Carwin and Brandon Vera. This was wonderfully refreshing, and not for the food, but it was a great format for interviewing fighters. First up was Vera, who sat in the center [...]
