00:00Big card BKFC on the zone Montana that one's coming up Saturday the 9th 8 o'clock Eastern
00:10gonna be some great fights and it all culminates with the title fight for the featherweight
00:16division King Kai Stewart who we just had on the show a couple weeks ago going against Jimmy
00:21Altera Rivera who we know well let's talk to multiple times here on sports good as well now
00:26Rivera 2-1-1 the BKFC the longtime UFC vet longtime MMA vet has a lot of experience in
00:32the fight game had an interesting start to his BKFC career obviously you know had the draw with
00:38Davis to start had the beat Usmanov in his second fight to get his first win the BKFC then lost
00:46that fight to Jeremy Littleheaven Stevens it's a tough fight for him a tough loss because you
00:50know I feel like he was doing great in that fight then had to cut that the doctor stepped in and
00:54ended it on always something that could you know it stinks but is always a risk here with the BKFC
00:59when you have the open knuckles people get cut up a lot easier and the doctor plays a lot more of
01:04course of a role in these fights and then of course his last fight was that win over Daniel
01:09Strauss the former Bellator champion who came and made his debut at the BKFC and was welcomed
01:14quite rudely with Jimmy Rivera doing a great job picking him apart and getting the win all of his
01:18fights going to besides the of course the Stephen Stavich being decisions so now he goes against
01:24King Kai Stewart the featherweight champion of the BKFC undefeated 6-0 so far in his career here
01:32the young fighter 24 years old last three wins that he has had over Brian Duran Howard Davis and
01:38Louis Lopez of course Lopez was for the title then Howard Davis was his first defense of the
01:43title then Brian Duran second defense looking better and better with each passing fight I mean
01:48that without Louis Lopez was the first time people saw that he had some pop not Louis Lopez and Matt
01:53that one time people were surprised by that it always been like a dirty you know boxer in the
01:57grappling role because of his wrestling background then Howard Davis just completely picked Davis
02:03apart you know people were very surprised by that I thought that they was gonna win that fight the
02:07length that he had the experience but Kai Stewart made him fight the fight that Kai Stewart wanted
02:12to fight and that is how he got that decision victory and then Brian Duran just dominated that
02:17whole fight so he keeps getting better with every fight now sitting there at 6-0 of course Kai's
02:24gonna be taller something he's maybe not be used to he's gonna have four inches of height and two
02:30inches of reach on Jimmy Rivera there's been a lot of talk back and forth mostly from Kai you know a
02:35lot of trash-talking he kind of relishes that role is the bad guy it seems you know holding that
02:40crown King Kai walking around the mr. Olympia calling Rivera little Jimmy you know because he's
02:47a little short obviously you know saying that he's gonna send him back to his retirement plan
02:51of just being playing cop as a Rivera is a police officer in his you know nine-to-five job but I
02:58think there's still respect you know you heard that from King Kai when we talked to him a couple
03:02weeks ago he knows that this is going to be one of the toughest guys he ever faced you know these
03:06other guys that he has beaten and shown how good he can be they don't have the experience that Jimmy
03:10Rivera has they haven't been you know as a title contender in the UFC they haven't been around the
03:16game as long as Jimmy Rivera has a guy who has not just fought but taught owns his own gym you know
03:22has taught police officers combat sports in order to help them in their job and then became a police
03:27officer himself so you know this guy has been around the block with just about everybody you
03:31can think of in this kind of weight class so also has that wrestling background that you know King
03:37Kai has been able to use to upset people to frustrate them so Jimmy Rivera is not going to
03:41be frustrated he's not going to be the guy that you know can get knocked off his game with what
03:46guys do what likes to do these people especially with the talking but gonna be a very interesting
03:50fight to see does King Kai kind of overwhelm him and you know make it a tighter fight and be able
03:55to push him around a little bit with that extra length or does Jimmy very get in and out you know
04:00one two three punch combos like he likes to do he likes to get in there quick shots get away not
04:05let his you know the guy get his hands on him all that is going to be key to this fight I mean it's
04:10hard to pick against a guy like Rivera with the experience he has but until Kai Stewart loses it's
04:16hard to say that this guy's gonna be beaten I think this is one that goes all five it goes the
04:20decision because that's the way both these guys have fought and when you put in the judges hands
04:24it's anybody's guess how it's gonna go I could see this being something that ends up in a split
04:28decision victory for one of these guys I think I lean a little more towards Stewart with the youth
04:33and the way that he keeps getting better and better but that speed of Jimmy Rivera is gonna
04:37be hard for him to deal with and he has no quit in him.
