Pics from the fight

Alright, here are some selected pics from the fight. Still working on getting the video uploaded. If you have Comcast On-Demand (at least in Utah), you should be able to view all 10 fights. Look for Throwdown.

The pics come from a good friend at work, Dirk Widdison, who is one of our photographers. Check him out at widdisionphotography.com.



Here I am making my way to the ring. You can tell how much respect we get as amateur fighters; I think I had to ask an 8-year old to move so that I could get to the ring.



Feeling loose, energetic, and wholly oblivious to what's about to happen to me.



I gave the thumbs up and remember thinking, "Wait... no, I'm not ready."











Here I am blocking a knee with my belly.



Caught in the Guillotine; no escape.



He beat me, but hey, at least his ribs look a bit beat up.

OUCH.

I would not want to run into your opponent in a dark alley!
