Razor Rob McCullough Instructional MMA sequence

Posted by alpowers on January 24, 2009

So yesterday i got a call from my friend Ryan over at Triumph United, http://www.triumphunited.com, the best MMA gear around, to shoot an instructional sequence for him with  Razor Rob McCullough (http://www.razorrob.tv). I said no problemo, since Ryan is a friend, and always helps me out with gear. Rob and I set a 11am meet time at his gym, Xtreme Couture, Xtreme Couture Web, to do the sequence. These type of shoots are not too flashy mainly make sure there is a good amount of fill on the fighters faces and have a nice sharp image. So all i used was my 580ex on my bracket bounced upward in to the ceiling, with a 5d with my trusty Sigma 24-60 2.8, and went to town. We shot three different types of combinations.

Here is one of them.

Right outside leg kick transition to flying punch and end with left body kick.

Having shot both MMA and Boxing events, and dealing with fighters, i must say that MMA fighters are so much more humble and nice. Rob was very kind, courteous and very cooperative. Make sure to watch his next fight in the WEC at 155lb, he is a beast.
