UFC Champ Chris Wiedman, Arianny Celeste, Jhenny AndradeUFC Fight Week 189 is Finally in The Books, And What a Week It Was!

There were numerous events scheduled during UFC Fight Week! For me it started by covering the IMMAF, the International Mixed Martials Arts Federation WORLD Championships. The best of the best in Amateur MMA from over 30 counties and more than 130 male and female fighters.

Then there were the UFC Pool parties where FANS got there chance to meet and get photos with some of their favorite UFC fighters and of course those Stunningly Gorgeous Octagon Girls. Plus, the UFC Charity event at Sunrise Childrens hospital where UFC fighters visited with these kids fighting for their life was very emotional.

In the video below I’ll feature my favorite 60 photos or moments, give or take a few, from the entire week. July 6-12.

WATCH THE VIDEO NOW:

The autograph sessions during UFC Fan Expo and off Property were also fan favorites. One guy I met wasn’t able to wait in the LONG line line to get a photo with Arianny Celeste, so I captured a special moment for him.

At the Fight Shop inside the Planet Hollywood Casino another young man was the first in line to meet UFC fighter Miesha Tate and as he told me, “it was a dream come true.”

I especially liked it when the Godfather of Cutmen, the Legend, Jacob Stitch Duran showed up on Day 4 of the International Mixed Martial Arts World Championships. Not only fighters but all the cutmen in the room wanted a photo with Stitch whether they openly admitted it or not!

Then at Fan Expo we had the Kick Boxing Tournament, JJ Tournament, Arm wrestling Tournament and lets not forget the Hall of Fame and Ultimate Fighter Weigh-ins. And of course on Saturday Night UFC 189 with Conor McGregor taking out Chad Mendes in 2 round!

There was so much going on, it’s virtually impossible to cover all the events that were happening. It was an  inspiring week.

The absolute best moments for me was capturing the fighters as they got their hand raised as WINNER! Priceless…

Jose Shorty Torres With TEAm USA Coaches  IMMAF 2015From TEAM USA, Jose “Shorty” Torres Defeated His Opponent Saturday July 11, 2015 During UFC Fan Expo To Retain His World Champion Title!

What a wild ride it has been for this years IMMAF 2015 World Championships. For Jose Torres, the returning World Champion from last years event, shared “the competition this year was stronger”. Yes he pulled down 4 WINS, but it wasn’t all a cakewalk. Some of the fights ended rather quickly, like the finals with a rear naked choke in the 1st round, but all in all, the bar has gone up from last year.

We saw Jose compete last year and it was a pleasant surprise to see him return to defend his title. No doubt the entire level of competition across the board has gone up, but so did the game of Jose Torres. He quickly became a fan favorite and one of  “THE GUYS TO WATCH”.Jose Shorty Torres With His Brother After His Big WIN at IMMAF 2015

I caught up with Jose “Shorty” Torres after his win i the finals. Torres has some really good opportunities ahead.  As long as he can keep injuries to a minimum, keep training hard and improving, I think we will see some big things from this young kid. It’s not a matter of if, BUT WHEN!
