About 14-15 yrs ago, I photographed early UFC, Bellator, STRIKEFORCE, Glory, all the combat sports.
Lately, can’t get myself to find interest in it because I joined a fight club in the Bronx and lost interest in the pagentry of mainstream stuff.
I enjoy watching ufc and one, but I agree that doing the work yourself and training/ sparring at the dojo is the real meta. I do Muay Thai at a local gym
Did Muay Thai for 7 years in my 20s… the fight club is definitely not the same, it isn’t a sport, no discipline or athletes there, pure emotion and impulsive chaos 😇
