00:00with the Mohegan Sun BKFC on the zone,

00:03headlined by Julian Let Me Bang Lane

00:05versus Cameron Jumpman Van Camp.

00:07Now, in this one, you had a situation

00:09where both these guys were coming in on win streaks,

00:12and one of those had to end,

00:14and that was Cameron Van Camp's

00:15as Julian Lane gets the fourth round TKO,

00:18a knockout with 54 seconds in there,

00:20as you see the great right hand that he lands on Van Camp.

00:24It was very interesting the way this fight worked out.

00:25I mean, round one, lots of feeling out,

00:28not many punches thrown,

00:29both these guys trying to find their way in,

00:32respecting the other's power,

00:34and because of that, I gave it to Van Camp.

00:36I felt he was coming a little more forward

00:39and got a few more punches at the end of the round,

00:41so I thought he was ahead there.

00:43Second round, Van Camp doing some nice lead uppercuts

00:46that hurt Lane a few times.

00:48It was even, you know, you saw CVP point him out,

00:50you know, that he landed one,

00:51and you see kind of Lane shake it off a bit,

00:53but Van Camp pointing at him like, I know I got you,

00:56so I thought, again, he took the round, 10-9,

00:58and his corner's telling him that, you know, watch out,

01:00Julian Lane's gonna get desperate.

01:03We know that Julian Lane has always been a slow starter

01:05in a lot of these fights.

01:06He comes on the last few rounds.

01:07Round three, again, though,

01:09going to Van Camp on my scorecard

01:11because he was more aggressive.

01:12He was trying some big shots.

01:14You know, Lane was, of course,

01:15but still, Van Camp was landing from the outside.

01:17That was the big thing, was the reach advantage

01:19for Van Camp throughout this fight early on.

01:21He was picking apart for the outside.

01:23Julian Lane was throwing some big haymakers,

01:25but he wasn't able to land before Van Camp

01:26got out of the way using that extra reach,

01:28so I thought that Van Camp got a couple good shots

01:30before the end of the round again,

01:32was able to avoid a lot of the big shots of Lane,

01:34even landed a good shot, you know, later in the fight

01:38that maybe cut Lane up a little bit,

01:40so, again, 30 now, 27 in the favor of Kevin Van Camp to me

01:45after three rounds, again, getting warned by his corner.

01:48Watch out, this guy is gonna go for broke,

01:50and what happens in round four?

01:51Well, 40 seconds in, Lane lands a big right hand

01:55that we're gonna see right there that drops Van Camp,

01:57and you can see, in trouble from the moment he hits the mat,

02:01Chris Lights Out Lytle even said,

02:02I don't think he's getting back up.

02:04Once he saw him go down, the way his face was there,

02:06he did not think he was gonna answer.

02:07He did not.

02:09Julian Lane gets his fourth victory in a row.

02:12It's an amazing comeback story for this guy.

02:14I mean, he lost three in a row,

02:15then five of six, seven of nine,

02:18then sat out 18 months.

02:19Part of it kind of imposed by the commissions, I feel like.

02:21I think there was at least a fight or two there

02:23that he was supposed to come back for

02:25because the guy just loves to get in there and brawl,

02:27and then the commission's like, you know what?

02:29This guy needs some rest.

02:30He's getting smacked around a bit.

02:32Since then, now he's on a four-fight win streak

02:34beating guys like Angu and Van Camp,

02:36who was on a two-fight win streak himself,

02:38so Julian Lane climbing up into the rankings now,

02:41coming from the depths of this division now

02:44to becoming one of the top five.

02:45Said afterwards in the ring

02:47that he wants Jeremy Stevens or Mike Perry or Jimmy Sweeney,

02:51and let's see what he talks about coming out of the ring

02:53and heading back to the locker room.

02:55So in my mind, I'm just ready to go to Dubai, man.

02:58Sitting my ass in Dubai.

03:00Let me fight Mike Perry.

03:03Let me fight Jeremy Stevens, Austin Trout,

03:05somebody in Dubai.

03:08But we gotta get paid.

03:10Oh, we always get paid.

03:13You see him there ready for

03:15packing those bags and traveling.

03:16He wants to go on the road.

03:17There's gonna be a big card out in Dubai,

03:19I believe, at the beginning of April.

03:21He wants on that.

03:22He wants Mike Perry.

03:24We'll see if he gets it.

03:24You know, he talked in the article

03:27they wrote about him on the BKFC site.

03:29In the interview, he gave about how he thinks

03:30that any of those guys, Stevens, Perry,

03:33they're just a stepping stone

03:34to getting to Trout in that title.

03:35He wants that belt.

03:36That's the end goal for him.

03:37We'll see if he gets one of those guys

03:39for his next shot or not.

03:41Then, the co-main event, you had Irish Brendan Ward,

03:43the local guy against James Knucklehead.

03:45Dennis Ward was making his debut for the BKFC.

03:49Dennis was on a two-fight win streak.

03:50That win streak is now over,

03:52as Ward beats Dennis by TKO in the first round,

03:5538 seconds in.

03:56Look at these shots that he lands there,

03:58and that's the end of the fight.

03:59You know, both guys are trading in the center early on.

04:02Dennis might have thrown the bigger shots

04:04and landed more early, but about 20 seconds in there.

04:07First Ward kind of clips him with that left there.

04:08You're not seeing from that angle.

04:09It was like kind of a weird shot.

04:11Might have broken his nose,

04:12because right away, Dennis grabs that nose,

04:14and then he throws a couple more,

04:16puts him to the mat,

04:17and that's the end of the fight there,

04:19and he wins in his BKFC debut

04:21in front of his hometown Connecticut fans.

04:23Great job by him.
