I was invited to be the referee of this match.
One round, winner gets to mate with all the female mockingbirds in the area.

(Ladies: UFC= Ultimate Fighting Champion; a popular mixed martial art show on TV and Pay per view.)

1. The current champ : Yellow Eyes.

2.The Challenger: Dark Eyes.

3.Before you knew it, they were all tangled up for the ground battle :

4. Dark eyes' beginning to grab the Champ by the wings....

5.The Champ tried to signal me for a foul call, but I wasn't sure....

6. I didn't make the call, but now dark eyes started to bite and poke the Champ's face ....Again, I wasn't sure if that was an illegal move...

7. After a few tosses and turns, they ended up in a stalemate with the Champ on the right side now.

8. After a moment, they were both quite tired; since there were no action, the crowd were booing and I had to break them up....
I shouted : BREAK AND LETS FLIGHT !!!

IMAGE: http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8484/8177866449_e13d61de72_b.jpg


9.The champ released his grab but Dark eye seized the opportunity and push the Champ to the ground; shouting "You're done Old Man"
IMAGE: http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8067/8177825872_47c37494b0_b.jpg



10. Dark Eyes then gave the Champ a neck choke, definitely an illegal move with Human UFC but he was doing it with his foot ???.....the crowds were booing but wasn't sure I should step in....
IMAGE: http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8347/8177825355_8ef1494d98_b.jpg



11. Yellow Eyes was choking, unable to breath, he had to tap for submission.....using his foot. I accepted that and declared Dark Eyes the new Champ.

I had to be escorted out of this place.....


END

Thanks for looking.

Super set, Alfred! You captured it very well. Just be careful of the 8-pic limit per thread before the moderators jump on you! ;)

Now if that had been me, lol.I would have clapped my hands and broke it up long ago! Excellent capture of domination and survivor of the fittest!


you're a great friend, but if Zombies chase us, I am tripping you.

Hilarious commentary! Perfectly aligned with your perfectly captured action shots.

Read back through a 2nd time. Laughed even harder!

Outstanding even by your high standard.

Among many other things the perspective seems about perfect. How high off the ground was your lens? (I'm guessing about thirty inches.)

Thanks Flo,

I was too busy shooting, besides, I would never interrupt with nature...unless it's cause by human.:)

Thanks AZGeorge, I was just crouching when I took these shots. Quality is actually not that good cause I was a bit far away and these shots are big crops.
