Dont go inside the cage...

You will need high shutter speeds to capture the action so recce the lighting before it starts, you will probably need to up the ISO with it likely to be indoors!

If you can get close enough to get blood spatter on your camera that might make for an interesting, shot. Brutal, but interesting none the less.

Fast lens and a good zoom depending where you are sitting
