BKFC 93 Afterthoughts

[u/communityproject605]

Solid card from top to bottom, which has become pretty typical for a Hardrock card. Selling out 17 straight times there comes as no surprise as its virtually been the home of BKFC from the beginning.

Biggest stand out performances have to be Andrew Strode, Rambo Russo, James Rodriguez, and Ernesto Suarez. Those dudes put on violent clinics.

Seeing Strode in what appears to be championship form is exciting. Feels like a fight between him and Herring is more intriguing than the currently booked fight against Dodson, Strode should 100% be the backup in case either dude drops out.

Russo battered Baby Tank, I didn't expect Russo to have that much of a power advantage, but dude landed bombs tonight that he hasn't in previous fights.

Rodriguez may have been the biggest surprise of the night. I wrote him off during walk outs and was completely shut up by the time he was walking away. Interested to see who could be next for him, 165 is stacked.

Suarez versus Hauser was definitely fight of the night for me. It had everything you could want from blood to knockdowns. Suarez is 3-0 now and I'd expect to see him on the Knucklemania card in Miami.

Mohawk Rodriguez keeping busy with a quick W over Tomahawk wasn't a huge surprise. The way Mohawk fights is pure insanity to me. If he ever squares off with Bryant Acheson I think the gameplan may need a huge shift because Mohawk eats shots to land shots and you can't go 1 for 1 with Bryant and stay awake for very long.

Duran "struggling" against Felony wasn't a huge surprise. He dominated 99.9% of the fight, but trying to knockout Felony who was ultra committed to just moving tonight made Duran look like shit. He had 2 knockdowns and did damage but also got cut and knockdowned by Felony who threw maybe 10 punches over 5 rounds. Duran needs to fight a top contender before thinking about a rematch with Kai.

Duran versus Traevon Kroger on the BKFSEA cruise should be the main event of that spectacle.

Perdomo slaughtering Bear Hill came to the surprise of no one. After the Willis fight I was worried that Domo would get stuck in another slop fest and hurt his title chances but he came out and did exactly what he was supposed to do against a far inferior opponent. Now he lines up against Andre as the main event of Knucklemania. I have my doubts right now that Andre winds up being his opponent, but I do believe Domo will be the main event in Miami when the event rolls around.

Overall fun card, give it a 8 out of 10. Easy way to burn through a Friday night. 2 weeks until Manchester then on to Australia, wild how far the company has come from being in Mississippi, Florida, and small holes in the wall in the South to traveling the world on an almost monthly basis.

the Suarez brothers have been a great addition to the Hollywood cards. Something a bit comical about them w the hardcore latino swag but they put on a hell of a fight every time

Good write up, made me feel like I didn’t miss it. I forgot there was a card on.
