This week, Casey and I arrived in Everett early to document the lead-up to the big title fight on Friday’s Strikeforce Challengers’ card, as Sarah Kaufman defends her Women’s 135 belt against the formidable and experienced fighter, Roxanne Modafferi.

While Casey edits, I figured I would share a few of the moments we’ve been watching along the way.  I’ve got more of Sarah than Roxy here because I mistakenly thought myself a cinematographer and decided to shoot much more video than stills while working with Roxy.  I figured out later that I should stick to my day job and let Casey do his thing.

Later today I’ll have the weigh-ins and maybe a few studio shots to share with you.  Until then, here’s how fight week is going so far between the fighters in the upcoming Strikeforce championship bout.
