00:00And let's first go with the headlining main event and that was Keith the Rockstar Richardson versus Usmanov,
00:06Vexad Usmanov, the 29-year-old from Tajikistan who lives in New Mexico, was 1-1 in the BKFC.
00:12Now 2-1 as he gets the victory over Rockstar Richardson, the former Bantamweight title holder,
00:17who now falls to 5-2 in the BKFC. We thought Richardson was going to get this in the third round.
00:22He looked strong against Larimore in his comeback fight last December,
00:24but Usmanov was just too much to bear for him. Gets a first round KO victory less than a minute in.
00:31There were some questionable issues here for me with, you know, that first knockdown as you saw.
00:36Richardson goes down, gets hit again as he's trying to get back up.
00:39I mean, this is supposed to be, you know, boxing rules and that the guy touches.
00:43We get a standing eight count. Ref didn't get in there quick enough.
00:46Took a couple more shots before he got knocked down again and got back up,
00:49but was not right, was not the same, and Usmanov came in there and blasted him a little bit more.
00:55Continues to unload towards the end of that first round against the ropes.
00:58Goes down and Usmanov even tried to jump on him and beat him up some more on the second knockdown,
01:04but the ref at least jumped in the middle of that one and kept him from doing more damage,
01:08but calls it off immediately. Does not give Keith Richardson the chance to get back and see if he can recover more.
01:14Didn't look like he was right ever since that first one, so I don't give too much blame on the ref there.
01:19Usmanov now coming in there getting over 500, but he's got some big aspirations.
01:23Listen to him after the fight.
01:25Finally, I'm going to say Conor BKFC, guys. Number one bantamweight.
01:30I kill him. I'm going to win. I won't fight for a title shot.
01:35I will kill that guy from Cuba.
01:39All an applause, getting right into it, getting his, you know,
01:42his second win and thinking that he can go right for the champ.
01:44But I mean, reasoning isn't completely wrong there in that you beat the number one guy.
01:48Who else is there to fight except the one above him?
01:50We'll see if he gets that shot, showing some good grit there.
01:53We'll see if he is tough enough to face Blas,
01:55who just steamrolled through everybody in that division on his way to that title,
01:58including Rockstar Richardson. Then the co-main event,
02:01you had a light heavyweight between Donald Sanchez, a little guy against Harrison Aiken.
02:04Aiken, tough dude, 35-year-old from Georgia,
02:07now falls to 1-1 the BKFC and 3-4 in bare-knuckle overall after he got the win in December.
02:13Now loses to Sanchez, a 20-year vet who's now 4-1 in the BKFC.
02:17Sanchez gets the, we thought he'd get a second round KO.
02:20It was almost done in the first round.
02:22The credit to Aiken, the guy hung on.
02:23It goes all five rounds.
02:24Sanchez gets unanimous decision, 49-43 on two judges' scorecards, 48-44 on another.
02:30He got two knockdowns in that first round to get the 10-7 round.
02:33It looked like it was all over but the shouting.
02:35You know, surprised that Aiken was able to hang in, but he did.
02:37You know, things kind of slowed down over the rest of the fight there.
02:40In two and three and four, Sanchez gets another knockdown to get a 10-8 round.
02:44So, it's clear that all he has to do is wait till the end.
02:48Still throw some punches.
02:49He's not a guy to back down and, you know, a guy to just coast on his bicycle until the end of the fight.
02:53Although Aiken didn't really come out as strong as I would expect in the fifth round
02:57or even after, you know, the second, third, fourth,
02:59because when you get knocked down twice in the first,
03:01you pretty much know it's finished or be done in that fight.
03:04Does not get it at any point.
03:06Does not turn it up to the level that he really need to.
03:08Don Sanchez is able to get a unanimous decision victory.
03:11A great performance by him.
03:14Not his strongest one.
03:15I thought that he's been better at times, but of course, this was at light heavyweight.
03:19He said in the post fight that he's more of a middleweight
03:21and he wants to go back to that division.
03:23And again, you know, fight somebody that he's been calling out for a while
03:26and has not gotten that shot at yet.
03:28Let's do this. How many times do I got to say it?
03:31Feldman, give it to me already.
03:33It was supposed to be here at Team Leaf.
03:36And we did this instead.
03:38Thank you for my guy, but Mundell, that belt is mine.
03:41Let's go. Come on.
03:42I got to say it again. Let's go.
03:45All right.
