Shout out to tonight's Chi-town fighters at the Houston's UFC Fight Night #104

Continuing the "fight week" for Chicago fans, tonight the UFC Fight Night #104 from Houston will have Chicago's own/ XFO alumni Felice Herrig in the C-main and Curtis Blaydes on the card.

Before I tune in to watch tonight (as you should) thought I would retreive and look at some 2013-2014 archival images of the Chicago Champions.

Co-Main : Straw-weight-

Alexa Grasso (9-0 MMA -1-0 UFC )  vs Felice " Lil Bulldog" Herrig  (11-6 MMA -2-1 UFC ) 

Pre-lims: Heavy-weight-

Curtis Blaydes (264.5 Lbs. ) vs Adam Milstead (233.5 Lbs.) 

Support Chicago fighters ....

Cheers, Tomba

Wait is over ..Its Fight Week in Chi-town ...3 1/2 minute "Iil Bulldog" slide show

The best way for me  to get prepared for "fight night" during Fight week sometimes is to look back at fighters that are on the card that I had photography in the past and check out the archives.

This Saturday, July 23rd on the main card of UFC on Fox 20 held at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois , one of the televised matches will be Felice "Iil Bulldog" Herrig vs Kailin Curran. Tho I haven't photograph the "Iil Bulldog" lately , during the period of 2009 through 2015 there were numerous photo sessions put together by Sucker Punch Entertainment.  I'm guessing two to three thousand files from maybe 1/2 dozen plus posed photo sessions and matches.

The below 3 and 1/2 minute slideshow is a small sample of those sessions, many never published that I am aware of.....

Mark your calendar for the upcoming Bobby Hitz Boxing at The Horseshoe in Hammond, Indiana for July 30th and then August 6th for the XFO MMA show of the year Outdoor Wars #12 at Side-outs in Island Lake, Illinois. This is a very good month for Chi-town fight fans.

Cheers, Tomba
