MMA Champion Fighters – The IFL at Mohegan Sun

I had the great pleasure of getting press access to take photographs at the May 16th MMA fights for the IFL promotion at Mohegan Sun.

As my first up-close introduction to MMA, I can attest to the incredible athleticism, endurance, technicality, and adrenaline that goes on each intense 4-minute round in that ring. It’s a brutal, but controlled, exhibition of probably the rawest form of direct physical competition.

Here’s a small selection from the action. For many more photos from this shoot, and to learn more about the sport, please check out MMA HQ, one of the premier MMA news blogs.
