00:00
The main fight, of course was the welterweight battle between Evgeny the Sailor Kurdanov and Elvin El Bandito Brito Kurdanov
00:06
I was looking to get back into the winning column here
00:09
It started for an only BKFC then lost two in a row Brito
00:13
Former champion at welterweight was still ranked number five in that one coming off a loss to Jake Lindsay last August
00:20
And this one when all Kurdanov throughout this fight, you know, the first one was kind of close
00:26
It was more of a feeling out between the two fighters all these guys having respect for each other
00:30
Very technical boxing looking for those openings, but it seemed like the rest of the way
00:35
Kurdanov was in control
00:37
Especially with the quick counters every time that Brito was trying to get in there
00:41
Kurdanov was catching him with some great shots even in the clinch
00:44
She landed a couple shots there in the second round quick counters the rest of the way
00:48
You see Brito trying to get in there putting that head down
00:50
But every time he did
00:51
Kurdanov was able to answer was able to find his angles was able to land the shots that
00:57
Eventually would get him this fight as he got all three judges to score
01:03
In his favor. It was according to the judges 50 45 by two judges 49 46 by the third for Kurdanov unanimous decision
01:12
For me when I looked at it when I watched it
01:14
I mean if he gave the first round to Brito
01:16
Which was a tight one that either guy could have gotten because there wasn't much thrown either way
01:20
Then I could have seen a 49 46
01:22
Otherwise, I saw a completely 50 45 or Kurdanov in this fight between these two middleweights
01:28
Then he had a battle at lightweight with Robbie problems Peralta trying to get back on the winning column as well against Jordan Hayes
01:34
Hey maker Christiansen
01:35
Christiansen was three and five in the BKFC alternating wins and losses and
01:39
That broke that streak this one. He lost his last one
01:41
Now he loses two in a row as Peralta takes the victory there by decision unanimous decision again
01:47
50 45 in the eyes of two judges 49 46 in the eyes of one
01:51
Well, it's of course was coming off that loss to Reuben war that six-second knockout
01:55
So he really needed a great performance to kind of erase that from everybody's memory when you have a history
02:01
You know making almost history making knockout, you know on you're on the wrong side that you don't want that to be the last thing
02:06
People remember he came out with a great gap game plan and battle throughout this one
02:10
I was coming forward or early putting Christiansen on the back foot the whole time
02:15
Which is it was trying to change stances trying to throw off his opponent every time he did
02:20
He ate some big shots from Peralta for his trouble. So that was not going out his way
02:24
And he kept going throughout the time Peralta moving landing quick shots throughout this fight Christiansen
02:30
Trying to find his way trying to find his you know, his spots letting some combos here and there
02:36
But Peralta was controlling it throughout the fight. I had it almost all the way for Peralta
02:42
I gave maybe the fourth round of Christiansen that that's the first time that he really came forward
02:45
It's the first time that you saw that urgency in him after he was down three rounds saying
02:49
All right, I have to change this up
02:50
I have to put him on the back foot and I thought he had a good round there
02:53
But it wasn't enough obviously as Peralta comes back in the fifth round and continues to you know
02:58
Come back at him, even though he had some swelling over his eye from shots Christiansen landed the fourth
03:03
Peralta still put him back on the back foot in the fifth came through and scored the unanimous decision victory
03:10
I had a 49-46 for Peralta on my scorecard, of course matching one of the judges scores there
03:14
Peralta the hometown guy got the you know, the the pop got the fans back into it talking about how
03:20
The guy you find out after the fight seven kids. How does he even have time to get out of the house?
03:26
I do not know but it says he still wants to do this for a couple more years
03:29
He still wants to try to make a run at the title
03:31
So we'll see also on that card at Walter what you had Ryan Ryan Peterson versus Matt the hawk slow Chuck
03:37
We talked to slow Chuck last week out of Montreal there the Canadian fighter
03:41
He was coming in there to fight win streak on the prospect series
03:44
But now he gets his first loss in the BKFC as Peterson
03:46
It's his second BKFC win the third bare knuckle win with another unanimous decision this 149 46 on two cards 50 45 on one
03:54
It was a feeling out early, but I felt like Peterson every time I was landing some good shots. I saw Chuck on the back foot
04:01
Again in the fourth round he comes alive and he has a great back-and-forth battle between these two guys
04:05
So low Chuck Lang some big shots some that you know towards the end that round probably would have knocked somebody else out
04:10
But Peterson stayed on the feet didn't get knocked down then comes back and wins the fifth as well
04:14
So he gets the victory there
