00:00Also, the co-main event on that one, we have Bryce Henry versus Derek Finley at Welterweight.
00:04The return of Baby Yaya, of course, Finley.
00:06He's 44 from Indiana, the former glove boxer with 37 wins in that part of his career, 25 by KO TKO.
00:13Now 3-2 in the BKFC.
00:15He's won his last three, though.
00:16He had a slow start, 0-2, couldn't get it going.
00:18Now he's made the adjustments in his career.
00:20He's been a tough fighter in the BKFC.
00:22Last beat Chavez in February by KO, so has found his way, has found his footing,
00:26but now he's going against a much younger opponent in Henry, Baby Yaya.
00:30Baby Yaya from Florida, of course, is 4-0 in the BKFC.
00:33Hasn't fought in a while.
00:34The last time we saw him was last February.
00:37His last fight was a second-round TKO.
00:38This is a guy who's been up and coming in this division,
00:40a guy who a lot of people have said could be in the picture to challenge for a title.
00:45Down there now, number seven, probably more from inactivity than anything else
00:49because I think if he wins this fight, he gets himself back up there in that top five
00:53and maybe gets himself in the conversation for maybe not a title fight,
00:56but at least maybe a title eliminator.
00:58We'll see if he can do that against Finley.
01:00I think he gets a third-round TKO in this fight against the older Finley
01:04who's later in his career.
01:06Also at middleweight, you have Dianosio Ramirez versus Zeb Vincent, the CWB.
01:11Of course, he's known Zeb Vincent on this show.
01:13He's been on a couple times.
01:14Ramirez, 38-year-old from Cali, 9-5 MMA before making the switch over to the BKFC.
01:19He's got wins in all different ways in MMA.
01:21He's not just a one-trick pony, not a guy who's coming in with a lot of submissions
01:24and now has learned to stand, not a guy who just searches for that knockout.
01:28He can fight you whichever way you want to go.
01:31One and only BKFC, not a ton of experience, but a good win there against Kane
01:34and first-round KO in Omaha last May.
01:36So he's been to Omaha, can fight against that crowd because he's going to have to do that
01:40against a guy like the CWB.
01:42He, Vincent, you know, is from that kind of area.
01:46He gets the crowd going in the Midwest there.
01:49The 30-year-old is very feast or famine.
01:51It's going to be a tough fight.
01:52You know, he's coming in there and either he's going to stop you or you're going to stop him.
01:56Three and one in the BKFC.
01:57He's coming off a fourth round TKO over Doug Coltrane in Kansas last August.
02:03So this guy is very tough.
02:05You know, being a top-level opponent in Coltrane who fought for the title, you know, recently before that.
02:09So now, taking on a guy to Ramirez, still early in his BKFC career.
02:14I got to go with the CWB right there.
02:15I think third-round TKO for him in this one because, as we said, either you're going out
02:20or he's going out in this fight, and I think he gets the victory again here in Omaha.
02:25You also had a lightweight battle between Brandon Meyer and Emeka Efecondu.
02:30Efecondu's 2-0 in the BKFC.
02:31Meyer's 3-2 in the BKFC.
02:33That's going to be a tough one to pick.
02:34Obviously, Meyer has more experience, but I think his opponent right now is on the bigger win streak.
02:39And I'm probably leaning towards him.
02:41Also on this card, a very important fight between Ramiro Figueroa and James Get Down Brown at lightweight.
02:47Now, Figueroa's 2-0 in the BKFC.
02:49If you look at his record, he's sitting there in those rankings right now.
02:53He is a guy who can get his name into the mix, get himself into a situation where a title eliminator,
02:59you know, another fight or two, could be in that picture of getting a shot at that lightweight title
03:04against Tanaglia.
03:05You know, sitting right now at number five.
03:06So, a win here over a guy in Get Down Brown who's been high in the rankings, who's now,
03:11who was still ranked in featherweight, you know, sitting there at number five in featherweight,
03:15but has been in the lightweight mix as well.
03:17That could be huge for him.
03:18While Get Down Brown on the other side needs to bounce back.
03:20He was undefeated, 3-0 in the BKFC.
03:22Had a lot of, you know, juice on his name before getting dominated by Howard H.G. Davis,
03:26another guy who was, of course, a title contender, perennial for the BKFC.
03:30So, he got to the top of the mountain almost, you know, reached that next step.
03:34The gatekeeper in H.G. Davis couldn't get over that hump.
03:37Now, can he get back into the mix against Figueroa?
03:39Whoever wins this fight, going to be in that top five, going to have his name on the lips
03:43of people trying to figure out who is next for that division's title shot.
03:46We will see if either of those guys can step up.
03:49I mean, I think Get Down Brown, I think, is going to be a little longer, I think a little tougher.
03:53I think he gets back in the winning ways here, probably by decision.
03:57So, that's where I'm looking, but that should be a great fight.
03:59Could be a contender for fight of the night, especially, you know, lower on the card.
04:03That could steal the show early on.
04:04We will see.
04:05You also have an important fight between Sarah Shell, Dr. Sarah Shell, versus Galactica Mejia.
04:11That's right, Galactica.
04:12That's not a fight name.
04:13That's not a ring name.
04:14That is her actual name.
04:161-0 in the BKFC.
04:17Of course, we've seen her fight before.
04:18Now, going against Dr. Sarah, who is 2-0 in the BKFC.
04:22And is going to make herself a name and put herself in the rankings.
04:26A situation where she can get a, you know, title shot, maybe next, against the title
04:30holder, of course, Britton Hart.
04:32Number two right now in the rankings.
04:34You get another win.
04:35You're 3-0.
04:36I mean, Taylor Strong's coming off some losses.
04:38Gage, Van Wick, you know, they have had some losses.
04:40If you're still unbeaten, who else are they going to put in that title picture against
04:43Britton Hart when she's ready to go again after her fight in Dubai?
04:46Dr. Sarah's going to try to stamp her name on that one.
04:48We'll see if she can.
04:49I like her to win this fight.
04:51And then go back to work and fix people after she breaks them, because that's what she does.
