00:00Let's look at what we saw this year and pick some of our favorites from what we

00:06saw in 2024 in the BKFC. First up let's talk male fighter of the year. So for us

00:11on our list we got Franco Tanaglia up there after he had a great year for the

00:16BKFC winning that title over there in Spain. Kai Stewart who defended his belt

00:20twice as well with the Brian Duran and Jimmy Rivera fights even though that we

00:24question the the refereeing maybe in the Rivera fight a little bit some of those

00:28knockdowns could have changed things but still he gets the win so undefeated

00:32year for him. Leonardo Perdomo big dude big hands big knockouts 4-0 four

00:38finishes you know so far this year and then Alberto Blas undefeated as well

00:43gets the title from Richardson then defended against Rivera. Who are you

00:46picking for your male fighter of the year in the BKFC? It's hard to go away

00:51from any of those guys but I mean to me you got Perdomo out there heavyweight

00:57undefeated not even making it out of the first round this guy you can't even

01:01make it out of the round with the guy that's tough to deal with so to me

01:05everybody wants to see the big tells everybody wants to know about the

01:08heavyweight champ I think we have a guy who's primed and ready he wants to get

01:12in there and take people out quickly he comes throwing bombs he doesn't care

01:17that guy's you go 4-0 and four first-round knockouts what else what

01:21else can you do man I think that he has to get it. Yeah a great year for him

01:27he was up there for us as well like he said you know you keep raising level

01:31competition early on when you get a guy in there and he's beating people you're

01:34like all right but who is this guy beating I mean the level competition

01:37kept getting raised and he leveled up every time it didn't drop off it didn't

01:41take longer it just was more violent every time a great year for Perdomo for

01:45sure. Female fighter of the year now for these women were a little less active

01:48unfortunately so it's hard to pick someone we got a you know maybe stretch

01:52some of these nominations but we still love all them and looking forward to

01:55seeing what's next for them in 2025 I mean you have Vachon's rising up to

02:00getting her title shot we thought maybe she could have jumped of course

02:04Masan Wong and even gotten that earlier but she gets to her title shot before

02:08the year is done you also have Natalie Gage who's 2-0 with wins over

02:12Click and Roman so far in 2024 for her you have Taylor Starling one and one for

02:17her but you know came back dropped to a new weight class got a great fight

02:20against Savage and then got to fight for the title against Britton Hart on a

02:24awesome card in a great fight back and forth between those two ladies out in

02:27Sturgis then of course Britton Hart the aforementioned champion right there only

02:31one fight for her this year but it was a great fight against Taylor Starling and

02:35then Christine Faria the misfit there are two title fights for her we've given

02:41her I give her credit to that she's supposed to have another one you know

02:44she wasn't as active as she wanted to be the fight against Wong wasn't the fight

02:47that she wanted to be but I don't put that on her either her opponent was just

02:50clutching and grabbing the whole fight so you know she only had the two fights

02:53but I thought probably could have been more if it was up to her a great year

02:57for her as well who do you think is the female fighter of the year for the BKFC

03:01you know it's unfortunate if you didn't do this for another three or four days

03:06we would have the answer because we have the stands fighting for it I think

03:11whoever wins that's definitely the person who gets female fighter of the

03:14year because that's going to give them their third win it's a title level that

03:18that's what it's going to be about so I'm holding off telling us until we

03:21find out who wins that fight what's with that is that's going to be the tip

03:24however you know I do I really do like what I've seen from Natalie Gage she

03:30fought for us twice puts on wars and comes a fight doesn't look like she

03:34gets rattled at all just nice straight clean boxing great year for all those

03:40ladies and looking forward to getting the women's divisions expanded even

03:43further hopefully in the coming year
