I was asked by WRECK to shoot the upcoming MMA event called UNSTOPPABLE, being held at The Hilton Lac Leamy in Gatineau QC, on May 6, 2011.  Part of this shoot was to also capture the pre-event weigh-ins, and all the testosterone that typically fills the air!  These images from those weigh-ins, and the ones to come from the May 6th event, will soon be available for hi-resolution download.  This is just a sneak peak!!

If you have never attended an MMA event, you must do so!  The atmosphere is electrifying!  WRECK is a first class organization, dedicated to providing high quality events in the National Capital region.  Come out and support them and all they do!
