I was asked to photograph a 10th annual Carelia Fight, the international MMA event held in my hometown. This was my first time photographing anykind of a fighting sport so the beginning was difficult and I had to work really hard to get into this. But eventually I'm quite satisfied with the results even thought I'm sure next time will be much better. Here are the first 30 pictures.. I will post the whole gallery with about 180 pictures later this week.

Btw, if you are one the athletes please feel free to use these images. I'd appreciate posting them with photo credits tho :)
