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.
