This past weekend was Randy Couture's (UFC Champion) Xtreme Combat Weekend fundraiser for his Xtreme Couture GI Foundation. I went down with some friends who played in the paintball games while I shot for the event. On Saturday night there was an amateur MMA (mixed martial arts) event of fifteen bouts. We were late to the fights due to being at the paintball field; however, I was able to shoot five bouts. This was the first time I had shot any MMA and found it quite interesting. Getting to stand and lean on the ring was great to get up close up. The emotions were great on all the fighters' faces. It took a little while to dial in my settings as it was held in a dark temporary arena with some odd lighting. The new digital cameras of today are amazing in low light.
