Summer shooting

We caught up with the lovely Sharon K and the ladies of Bake a boo to shoot the pics for the new vintage-inspired Burlesque Baby tea and hen parties.
Situated in West Hampstead – the bakery is lavishly adorned with a variety of old-school, girly deco and is busting from the seams with vintage tea-sets, curious antiquities and home-made treats galore.
The tea parties are proving to a real hit and needless to say we enjoyed eating EVERYTHING after the shoot.

UCMMA 12 – Never Back Down

Saturday 8th May, Troxy, London

• 4 belts on the line
• Featuring: Stav Economu, Neil Grove, Jimi Manuwa, Mark Epstein, Jamaine Facey, Dyson Roberts, Paul Cahoon, Luke Sines, Reza Meldavian, Earl Brown

(London April 22nd) Ultimate Challenge (UCMMA), the UK’s leading MMA Organisation presents ‘UCMMA 12: Never Back Down’ at the Troxy on Saturday, May 8th.

Dave O’Donnell said: “Never have so many interesting fights been on one card. UCMMA is moving from strength to strength and the guys on this card have one thing in common – they never back down.”

“Once again, we’re almost sold out and you can guarantee on the day there won’t be a seat left in the house. Ultimate Challenge will always deliver you a night to remember.”

The main event sees Cypriot Stave ‘Crazy Bear’ Economou take on the formidable UCMMA Heavyweight Champion Neil ‘The Goliath’ Grove. With Neil’s stature towering over Stav’s by a significant five inches, but the two bearing almost equal weight, the question is whether Stav will be able to find an advantage and take the coveted belt.

All eyes will be on undefeated poster boy for UK MMA Jimi Manuwa defending his UCMMA Light Heavyweight Title against Reza Meldavian – can Reza be the man to take the belt in the upset of the night?

Veteran Mark ‘The Beast’ Epstein is back in the red corner, taking on Luke Sines in the blue in a hotly anticipated UK-1 bout.

Cage Rage British Champion, Paul "Boom Boom" Cahoon squares up to UCMMA Veteran, Earl Brown, and crowd favourite Scott ‘Too Hot’ Jansen will be looking to repeat his awesome performance against Azran Quasid against the super strength of Steve Elliott.

Goju Karate expert Dyson Roberts takes on Jamaine Facey in the grudge match of the night. Dyson will be aiming to keep up his impeccable track record, but if Jamaine repeats his amazing ‘blink and you’ll miss it’ knock out performance, he could put a serious dent in Dyson’s so far superb record.

Dan Smith from Semtex gym will be looking to see what Brad Wheeler is made of for the Feather Weight UK-1 title and with the new rules (MMA gloves) this set to be a war.

Full Fight card:

STAV ECONOMOU V NEIL GROVE (HW TITLE)
JIMI MANUWA V REZA MELDAVIAN (LHW TITLE)
LUKE SINES V MARK EPSTEIN (MW UK-1)
PAUL CAHOON V EARL BROWN (MW)
