This weekend I got to shoot and attend my first MMA fight. My friend Lauren Barefoot had her first professional fight and asked me to be there. What an honor and Lauren did great. She won when her opponent's corner through in the towel.

I really did not know what to expect. But the venue was full of rabid fans.

I was able to shoot ringside - I used my 50 1.4 and shot through the cage. It worked well. Though my legs and neck is still recovering from the awkward position I had to shoot with. But it was all worth it.

Congrats Lauren and thanks for the invite. Good luck in the future.
