Fight Day Prep
Day three and I’m just going to apologize now because this snuck up on me and now I’m at the Air Canada Centre trying to blaze through this and get to a quick press dinner so I can shoot the fights without being super grumpy Esther. So what better than to tell you what I [...]
My Favorite Fight Photo
While I’ve had lots of shots I love over the years, there’s only one photo that comes to mind as my absolute favorite. I know it’s good because it makes me uncomfortable and sad to see. So for day two of the blog challenge, I wanted to share the photo that I’ve taken that I [...]
1. Story Behind The Photo
Okay. I’ve been challenged to post here every day for thirty days since we’ve been assholes and so so absent. And I wasn’t going to take it on, since I’m leaving town for the holidays right in the middle of this thirty day stretch and because I don’t want to post on New Years’ Eve [...]
Reign Training Center
We took a jaunt down Interstate 5 to Reign Training Center, visiting Mark Muñoz training for his bout with Chris Leben next week. I shot mostly video, and that you’ll see next week, but for now I’ll share the few stills I managed to take while zoning out and being a bad cameraperson. For that [...]
Naked Cage Fighters
*edit* Someone made this awesome video called Naked Cage Fighting but then I think after we posted it here it got pulled for nudity! Bummer. I guarantee it was awesome. I looked it up an apparently it was made in 2002 and you can pay to stream it here: http://www.tlavideo.com/gay-naked-cage-fighters/p-188190-22 AWESOME.
Fight Journal: Pat Barry
We’re in DC (Casey is sporting his Dischord Records shirt) for UFC Live on Versus 6 and we got to follow Pat Barry around for the day. It was lots of fun and yesterday’s news even validated my personal hatred of cantaloupe. So we’ve got a video for you of Pat Barry going to the [...]
Training Camp: Jon Jones
We’re back with a post-fight releasing of a pre-fight look into Jon Jones’ training camp. During a July visit to Albuquerque, Greg Jackson and Jon Jones were generous enough to let us into their training session, showing us the learning process specific to Jones’ title defense against Quinton “Rampage” Jackson. It’s fascinating to see, shot [...]
UFC on FOX Presser
UFC had a press conference for their inaugural event on FOX just a quick jaunt from All Elbows headquarters at the W Hotel in Hollywood today. Cain Velasquez, Junior Dos Santos, Fox Sports president Eric Shanks, and Dana White were on hand to answer questions from press and fans. There were aluminum bottles of Sprite [...]
A look inside two camps.
We were privileged to get an inside look at X Gym in Rio De Janeiro and watch Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva, Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza, and Rafael “Feijao” Cavalcante spar. Of course, like most camps, we couldn’t video tape the all-out sparring session but we photographed it and incorporated it into Casey’s video on our day there. [...]
