00:00At heavyweight you have Leonardo the Cuban assassin Perdomo vs. Levi Costa. Costa 1-1 the BKFC 2-2 in bare knuckle overall. He's got wins in the BKFC over Sanchez, got a loss against Josh Copeland, a win over Josh Burns in another organization, and a loss to Gustavo Trujillo.
00:18All tough fighters in this heavyweight division, but now he's going against Perdomo, aka El Zombo, who I think probably should just be called a Personondora, aka the steamroller in Spanish.
00:27That's what this guy has done to this heavyweight division. He's number two right now in these rankings, 5-0 in the BKFC, and has just gone through everybody.
00:34First round finishes of all his opponents, including Leo Bercia and Steve Banks in the last two fights.
00:41Names that we have seen in the heavyweight division cause trouble for a lot of people, did not cause any trouble for Perdomo.
00:47Only two of his fights have even gotten out of the first minute. I don't expect this one to either.
00:52No disrespect to Costa, but Perdomo just seems on a trajectory right now for a title shot.
00:57I mean, if he wins this fight, now we know, of course, that Mick Turrell is going to be tied up at KnuckleMania 5 at the end of next month,
01:03defending his belt against Big Ben Rothwell, who isn't even in the rankings for some travesty.
01:07But still, if he gets that win, and whoever wins that fight, how do you not put Perdomo in a title fight?
01:14The guy's number two in the division. Number one in the division is Arnold Adams, who hasn't even fought since he lost that title to Turrell last year.
01:20So, get this win, and I think Perdomo starts 2025. Maybe not right away, obviously,
01:25but, you know, maybe in the first three, four, five months with a title shot at heavyweight.
01:30This could be a big win for him if he gets it.
01:34You also have lightweight Ryan Agalo Duran, of course, in his home area down in Hollywood, Florida,
01:38fighting Kassim Kosh and Ruffin Ruffin, 2-0 in the BKFC, both by finish.
01:43Duran, 6-1 in the BKFC, had been on a tear, then all of a sudden had lost his last fight to Kai Stewart in June for that title.
01:50Now trying to bounce back. He was down to featherweight, now he's coming in at lightweight here.
01:55We'll see what he can do with a little extra weight. A very exciting fighter, always loves to run his mouth, loves to throw his fists.
02:00We'll see if he can give some problems, if he can give some caution to Kassim Kosh and Ruffin,
02:05or Ruffin's going to go right through him like he has his first two opponents.
02:09It's going to be very entertaining either way.
02:11You also have Justin Ibarrola, Joy Boy in the Bantamweight division going against Derek Perez.
02:15Very important fight for Ibarrola. We were talking about him last week when we talked to Keith Rockstar Richardson.
02:19I forgot that he had this fight coming up. I said, hey, do you think you and Ibarrola should match up for a contender fight?
02:25Well, if they do, it would have to come next year because Ibarrola fighting here in this fight against Perez.
02:30Perez, 2-3, lost his last two fights and three of his last four.
02:34Ibarrola now is on a win streak after beating Rick Russo and Justin Street in his last two.
02:39Already three fights this year. This will be his fourth.
02:42He seems destined to possibly get a title shot or at least a matchup against Richardson if he gets the win here.
02:48You also have G. Cutman Perez fighting at flyweight, 4-1 against Carey Caprio.
02:53You have a great middleweight bout. This one might be one that could possibly steal the spotlight.
02:58Down on the card at middleweight between Francesco Ricci versus Big Boy Blake Lacaz.
03:02Now, Lacaz hasn't had a great record, but he's a tall, big guy with some power.
03:05And going against Ricci, a former champion in this division who's on a two-fight loss streak,
03:10but against Dave Modell and Eric Lozano, so very tough fighters.
03:13Can he show that power, that Italian power we have seen from him again
03:16and knock out Lacaz and get back into the title picture? We will see.
03:19Also, you have Tyler Randall fighting at flyweight against Austin Lewis.
03:22So, plenty of great fights throughout this card, top to bottom.
03:26What a gift for us all to watch right before Christmas. Can't wait to see it.
