TITLE: Pugilists
Mixed martial arts (MMA) is considered to be the bloodiest and most brutal competition in the world. Two competitors fight in an octagonal steel cage with the goal of submitting their opponent. This series of photographs captures the different mental states of the athletes at three points in time: before, during, and after the fight. I think these photos show the most primitive survival instincts of human beings and their desire to win, showing us the white-hot state of competition between people.
