00:0010 fights on the card eight of them ended by ko tko including all the card all the main event
00:06fight card so you have plenty of action in your compressed amount of time they can go check out
00:11and enjoy great card as far as action and results for the bkfc this past weekend over in salt lake
00:17city and of course as we said it was headlined by a light heavyweight title fight between mike
00:23the marine richmond and josh d-day dyer and of course dyer last four in august of 2024
00:28a first round ko of william albrecht before that he had no contest fights against jared warren and
00:33joe riggs of course jared warren that one was a rematch you had the first fight between the two
00:38that dyer had won that was the rematch supposed to be for the vacant title in this division that
00:43unfortunately ended in no contest because of shots to the back of the head that labeled warren unable
00:47to continue but now he was d-day dyer coming back here trying to get his chance at the belt again
00:53this time against mike the marine richmond who was coming off winning that title from jared warren
00:57back in december down there in florida so now he was defending the title for the first time and
01:02we would see if he could hold on to it he was going to be shorter he was going to be you know
01:06not as long in his reach as his opponent but we thought that maybe he could still get that by second
01:12round tko because of the precision punching that we've seen out of him because of that just sniper
01:16like ability from the former marine who could just throw that one punch in the right spot that puts
01:20guys down left and right throughout his career well that's not how it ended up this time because the
01:25one who's going down in this fight was mike marine richmond went down a couple times both in the
01:30second round and later on in the fight he had some some brutal shots taken by him as well
01:35much of the fight was let's say the first round at least was richmond kind of coming forward both
01:41guys a lot of respect a little slower to get going but then the rest of the fight second third fourth
01:46round all those involved the picking apart of the champion josh d-day dyer came in here with a
01:52different game plan a lot of guys when you have a power puncher like marine richmond come in there
01:55and try to put the pressure on him we saw that with jared warren and that uh first title defense
02:00for him that richmond stole the belt during a lot of guys come forward they try to put the pressure
02:04part get him on his back foot thinking that that'll negate his power a little bit and it doesn't work
02:08out for them in this case it was richmond the one coming forward d-day dyer with that longer reach
02:13decided to stay back decided to try to pick his opponent apart from you know distance and he did just
02:17that we've seen a lot of dire bullying guys getting in there roughing them up well apparently
02:21according to him uh just close to the fight someone from the bkfc told him hey we want to
02:26see a clean fight we don't want to see you know just you bully him so decided to completely switch
02:30up his game plan and it worked to perfection for him picked apart his opponent for throughout four
02:36rounds and then in the middle of fourth round after dyer loads a big combo on richmond the blood's
02:40flowing down you get the ref stepping in there and getting the marine checked out by the doc and he
02:46says no more that is it that is the end of the fight the doctor steps in fourth round tko
02:51for the new champion of the light heavyweight division and that is josh d-day dyer you can
02:56see of course afterwards if you go check out some of the social media pictures um or the videos you
03:01like the marine richmond had a huge hematoma over his left eye so you know makes sense for the doctors
03:06to say this was just too much and he could not continue but in the post fight josh dyer was
03:12talking about how he wants to be an inspiration for people you know in their struggles in their fight
03:15as they try to reach their goals as he had it took him a long time to get this title that he wanted
03:19and uh you know he talked a little bit backstage about all those things as he you know reflected
03:25for the first time as the new champion i just want to say this is the scariest thing i ever did in my
03:30life i was scared to do this but i did it the difference between a coward and a brave person
03:35is nothing at all they both feel the same fear the brave person just does something about it
03:40the coward runs away we're all the same to the right it's your choices that make you a winner
03:44i also just want to say no matter who you are no matter what you've done no matter your look size
03:54skills age or anything you're worthwhile and nobody can ever take that away from you
03:58so great reflection there by the new champion but you know right after the fight of course you get there
04:02and you get the interview in the ring and a lot of times it's going to be who do you want to fight
04:07next of course a lot of people are going to think of a guy like lorenzo hunt who's now out injured
04:10after uh you know he was unable to fight in his fight against chris camozzi at 205 some people are
04:15obviously going to bring up a trilogy with jared warren which we'll talk to him about uh coming up
04:19next but there was a different fighter on the mind of the champion when he was interviewed
04:23i checked my instagram account last night and none other than mike perry in my instagram box saying
04:30dyer i hope you win so i can punch your little face for the belt i want to say this perry
