Last Round

Ronnie Britt, also known as the “War Frog”, is a 44 year-old mixed martial arts fighter in Des Moines. Outside of the cage he delivers oxygen and medical supplies, and is a quiet, easy-going fellow. Inside the cage, he is a tough competitor that uses choke holds to make his adversaries submit, or “tap out.” Over the years, he has earned a grass-roots, blue-collar following that has made him one of the most popular fighters around, and I was fortunate enough to follow him around for about seven weeks as he trained for his last fight. Anyone whose spent any time around Ronnie knows that the MCC has lost one of the ambassadors of the sport.

This is the first of what I hope to be a series of photo essays of mixed martial arts fighters in the Des Moines area. If there is any other fighter who would be interested in their story being told, drop me a line (brian |at| bfrankphoto.com).

Thank you, and I hope you enjoy viewing as much as I enjoyed shooting this story.
