00:00Welterway, you have Brandon Gertz versus Cameron Jumpman Van Camp.
00:06Gertz is going to be the hometown guy again, and once again, going to be the one who's
00:10a little bit older, a little longer in the tooth as he is 39 years old, one-on-one in
00:14the BKFC, lost to Jake Lindsay, then beat Christian Torres.
00:17Both his fights ended by stoppage in the first two rounds, so another guy is going to come
00:21in there, look to push the action, a long-time Bellator veteran going against Cameron Van
00:25Camp, a 31-year-old who is also one-on-one in the BKFC, lost to Holloway and then beat
00:30Micah Terrell, former UFC fighter, brief appearance for him in the upper echelon of the MMA.
00:35So both these guys coming from the world of MMA, both coming in there and wanting to get
00:40finished or be finished, no one's going to come in there and try to go for the decision.
00:44It's going to be a lot of action between these two, but Van Camp is going to hold a big advantage
00:48in the size, five inches taller, five inches longer.
00:50So you're going to give me that in a battle with two guys that would have dropped the
00:53other one.
00:54I'm going to, again, take the extra length.
00:55This is even more of an advantage than we just talked about with Camozzi, of course.
00:59Five inches, that's tough to get inside.
01:00Now, Kurtz is a guy who's going to want to get in there, get a brawl.
01:02We've seen that.
01:03He's not a guy who's going to necessarily stay at length, but still, when you have that
01:07advantage and you're younger and you're quicker, that could be a big advantage for Van Camp.
01:11So I think he's going to take this one.
01:13At Strawweight, you have Sidney Sundance-Smith going against Kat Pabrocki.
01:16This is a big fight for Sundance-Smith.
01:18We talked to her a couple weeks ago.
01:19She came in there, getting a lot of publicity in the BKFC world, a little out of hype after
01:24her first fight, where she, of course, took out the Croatian, ending the win in a great
01:30fight.
01:31It looked awesome.
01:32Then kind of went into a contender fight against Melanie Shaw pretty quickly, lost that fight.
01:37Then came back on short notice, went up in weight to fight Crystal Pittman out in LA,
01:41and it went terribly for her because, obviously, short notice, up in weight, not exactly the
01:46situation most fighters want to be in.
01:47Credits her for taking it, but you saw from the pictures and the videos afterwards, she
01:51took a beating for the trouble.
01:52Had a great time still because she's always very positive, always very into what she's
01:57doing, and awesome experience for her, she felt, except for the fight part, of course.
02:03She loved hanging out with Mario Lopez and some of the other people out there in LA,
02:06but it was not the victory she wanted.
02:07She needs to get this right now.
02:09She's one and two in the BKFC.
02:10Can she rebound, get back to 500, show that she should be in the conversation for possibly
02:15getting into the rankings and title shot down the line?
02:18She needs that kind of performance, and she gets a newbie here in Paprocki who's making
02:22her BKFC debut.
02:23She has boxing, Muay Thai, and MMA experience, and she owns a gym, she coaches, so she has
02:29a lot of experience in the fight game at just one year younger than Sydney Sundance-Smith,
02:33but BKFC's a totally different beast.
02:36We've seen that, and we've heard that from many of the fighters who have gotten into
02:39this.
02:40They expect one thing, and it's completely different, so I think Sundance holds the advantage
02:44in that, and I think she's going to be motivated.
02:45She knows this is such an important fight for her to get herself back into the mix of
02:50things.
02:51You also have great fights going on between Dylan Schultz and Derek Perez, which is going
02:54to be a great battle there at Bantamweight.
02:56We have a flyweight battle between Andrew Legend-Strode and Superfly.
02:59Of course, Chancey Wilson needing this win.
03:01He's been on a little bit of a lost streak after losing to Aguero by KO in November.
03:06Down three and three in the BKFC.
03:07He needs to get back on the winning ways and show that he is a guy who should be feared
03:11in that division.
