Yeah, that is me :). Actually all your questions are answered it the album describtion, but I'll copy-paste it, just for you ;-)

"Pictures from my first cagefight(but hopefully not the last).

The fight can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opD4o7cLz_0
Note: I had picked Rage Against The Machine: Freedom as my entrance song, but the DJ messed up :-(


It was a fight with an opponent(Morten Ørskov; http://www.shootersmma.com/default.asp?page=fighters&iDoit=3&FighterID=1849 ) who was 10cm higher than me, but 2-3kg's lighter. As I see the fight we were pretty even all the way. I tended to hit more effectively when we traded punches, while he dominated the clinch with good knees.

The jugde stops the fight the first time because my opponent was bleeding from the nose and the judge had to dry the blood of of us.

The second time the fight is stopped is because my opponent is bleeding to much from the nose(at least, that's what I think), and he was a bit rocked right at the end.

Pictures were taken by Christian Graugart( http://www.cgmedia.dk/about.asp ), while he was keeping hold of the time AND coaching me :)"

Forgot... Dangerous? Naah, the safety of the sport is pretty high. That's also why the judge stops my fight. My opponent really just had a bloody nose, that's all... Judges are always a bit more strict with the safety with amateur fights.
