I love action photography, especially motorsports, and I’ve also grown to love mixed martial arts (MMA). Everything inside the cage is unpredictable. You don’t know when a punch will be thrown, you don’t know when a takedown will occur. But that’s the beauty of it and that’s what makes MMA so exciting to shoot! I was there at the recent ONE FC: War of Nations in Stadium Negara, Kuala Lumpur and here are some of my favourite shots from the night:
