Snapshot of the Day: Artsy Shot of British MMA

by Kid Nate on Feb 28, 2009 12:36 AM EST in MMA News

Brighton (U.K.) magazine publisher The James Kendall took the above shot at an unidentified MMA event in England and titled it "the first to interfere, are culled before the deer, when they wander into the cage."

Nice stuff, reminds me of the way boxing used to inspire classy art back in the day.

Two Thoughts:

A: I thought it was a still from Raging Bull at first.
B: I stopped noticing the fighter after a while…
Good stuff

I thought the picture is kind of cool. But the title is horrible.

IF you zoom in on the pic, you can see the beer gut on that chick.

She is English…

Living in the Philippines has spoiled me, apparently. I really don’t find the view that appealing, due to the aforementioned gut.

There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

the mix of her spray on tan and the black/white photography made it look like she had stretch marks on her ass. mmmm.

thanks for checking out my photo

first time i’d been to an MMA thing – it was definitely interesting.

by thejameskendall on Mar 1, 2009 5:40 AM EST reply actions

oh...

the title is a line from a song which is what i always do with my pictures – it’s tongue in cheek mock-pretentious.
the fact that the girl is a little bit rough is one of my fave parts of the picture. if she was too hot it wouldn’t work so well. there were rougher girls there.
