Description
Vancouver hosted its first ever legal Mixed martial Arts event the other night at the Edgewater Casino. The city has banned MMA and UFC in part because of the gambling aspect, but have allowed these fights to happen IF there was no gambling on it, and there was no prize purse for any of the winners.The fighters here just fought for the glory, and they all enjoyed it. Even the ones with half-broken arms, or blood gushing from their mouths.
___________
Nikkor 50/1,8

Very nice how there's motion blur everywhere except on the punchers face, I love his expression too and the helplessness of the punched great shot.

Great capture The black and white emphasises their '
ersonalities' in a way (for me anyway
) Well done!
