I'm always in awe at the raw emotions these fighters share with us on fight night. From the focus you can see on their faces backstage, to the nerves they try to push down as they step into the ring, and all the way to the feelings of pure joy after a victory! It's a roller-coaster of emotions that I'm lucky enough to document! . One of my recent favorite moments was of brawler @lelyfromphx after her RUF 41 victory in the arms of @themmalab coach John Crouch, nearly in tears. Only they know the obstacles and setbacks they together had to overcome to get to this point , and in this moment, it was all worth it! Amazing! . . . #MMA #MixedMartialArts #RUFMMA #RUF41 #Boxing #Wrestling #Grappling #MuayThai #Kickboxing #RUFNation #AZMMA #ArizonaMMA #Phoenix #Glendale #AZ #Arizona #SupportLocal #SportsPhotography #SportsPhotographer #PhxPhotogCollective #SportsPhoto #iSportsPhoto @canonusa
