MMA Throwdown at The Showground [Santa Barbara Sports Photography]

California Fight Syndicate host the Throwdown at the Showground this July 4th weekend and I was invited to shoot the event. This was my first chance to shoot an MMA event and it was really awesome. I got to test the limits of my camera because the showground lighting was low and the action was fast. As expected the D700 worked perfectly under these conditions.
