Cage Gladiators

I’ve been the official photographer for the Cage Gladiators for over a year now.

Quite a funny store to go with this image – I had a small set up in a side room whilst the Gladiators where weighing in and couldn’t help but notice Stefan, he is 6′8!  I asked him if I could do a couple of poses for me and he did this marvellous pose.  Just as I took the shot his Dutch manager came in shouting “Stop! Stop! Stop!  What are you doing?”.  It was Dirty Bob (an ex fighter himself) and in the moment of panic I just shouted out “Emile!” (the promoter) and all was fine.  I lived!
