Got the call from my good buddy Phil Lambert that he would be unable to cover BKFC 9. He asked me if I could fill in for one night. Appreciate his trust in me to handle biz in his absence.

I had photographed BKFC one time before, when Artem Lobov fought Paulie Malignaggi. I fell in love with it that night. I’ve been doing this a long time and have an appreciation for all combat sports. Bareknuckle is just a different experience all together. A big thank you to Phil, the Feldman family, Lester, Evan, and everyone involved for having me. And a huge thank you to all the athletes. You’re all rockstars. Below are selects from the evening, hope you dig.
