Maple City Cagefighting 2

Saturday night I got to shoot the Maple City Cagefighting 2 event in Chatham, ON. 11 fights including the 155 title fight. MCC always puts on a great show and this is there second consecutive sell-out. Looking forward to shooting their next show on June 4th, which also promises to be a sell-out.

Fitness Shoot with Chelsey

I had the opportunity to shoot with Chelsey yesterday, the co-owner of Powerhouse Fitness Training Systems. This is my second time shooting with her and she always brings a tonne of energy to the shoot. She's insanely strong, as evidenced by her holding 225 lbs and laughing about it. Her personal best is much, much higher. Its always great to work with someone who knows so much about functional athleticism.

Detroit Brawl

On Saturday Feb 6th, I got to go over to Detroit to catch some boxing at the beautiful and historic Masonic Temple. The show was put on by Salita Promotions. It was a good action packed card with lots of local flavour. A really nice touch was the promoter, Dimitri Salita came over and spoke to everyone in the media section after the fights, a real class act. I love shooting fights in Detroit, it is a special, crazy atmosphere in the Motor City. Below are some of the good ones I captured.

MARC PAGCALIWANGAN

I've shot with undefeated boxer Marc "Gwapo" Pagcaliwangan (9-0-1 7KOs) many times now. He's always in great shape. Marc is one of the nicest guys you could want to meet outside of the ring, inside he's a killer.
