This past Saturday, I was asked to take pictures at the Anaheim Convention Center on for the EFWC MMA fights. It was a big learning experience figuring out how to shoot through a fence and still manage to focus on the action.

It was also a trip to be sitting a foot away from someones head being hit with a foot or elbow. Pretty surreal. Any thought of “I could do that” pretty much evaporated after the first strike to the head.

Here are a few shots I took:

After I got a picture with Randy, I figured what the heck, I’ll try to get one with the new Light Heavyweight champ.  He was really cool about it and actually stopped doing an on camera interview to take a picture with me (although he probably just wanted out of the interview).

Rampage is one seriously funny guy.  I wish I could find a transcript of all the jokes he made at the press conference.

This was after UFC 71: Liddell vs. Rampage downstairs at the press conference. 

Dude, seriously…look how much bigger his fist is than mine.
