My last shoot of 2011 was up in Vegas where I shot UFC 141 at the MGM Grand. The main fight of the evening was a heavyweight matchup between Alistair Overeem and Brock Lesnar but it would be upstaged by the prior fight between Donald Cerrone and Nate Diaz.

Since I am so far behind on blogging (this post is only a month and a half late!) I am just gonna throw captions on these pics instead of providing my random thoughts on the shoot…
