Mike Perry -750 v Thiago Alves +375

On the surface, it would appear that Alves has been brought in so Perry can get another win in a bloody, fast-paced fight, and this fight could absolutely play out that way.  Perry pushes forward and is willing to eat a lot of shots in order to land his own, and it’s worked in BKFC so far, but he eats a lot of shots, and at some point, it’s going to cost him.  I’m not sure Alves is the one to beat Perry as Alves is 40 years old, and we haven’t seen him fight in almost 3 years.  He’s won 2 BKFC fights in a row, but they aren’t impressive.  In his last fight, Alves was pretty beaten up before his opponent gassed out and the fight was stopped.  This fight should feature violence, and I’ll take Perry to get the KO as Alves is easily hittable, and he doesn’t have the counterstrikes to KO Perry’s forward pressure.  Perry by KO in the 1st or 2nd is the pick.

Crystal Pittman -185 v Sydney Smith +190

We were ready to cash a play against Sydney Smith in her last fight, but she pulled out literally before walking out to the ring.  I’m pretty sure someone in her corner knew how bad she was going to lose and they wouldn’t let her fight because that was going to be a destruction.  This fight won’t be as bad as the last one was going to be, but Smith is still going to lose.  She has no defense whatsoever, and she swings wildly without looking where she’s punching.  Pittman is going to be so much bigger than Smith as well as Pittman is 20 pounds bigger.  Pittman doesn’t throw a lot of volume, but her punches have really good power to them.  Smith is going to try and start out with a flurry when the fight starts, but as soon as Pittman blasts her in the face she’ll retreat and get flustered.  Pittman will eventually knock her out, and -230 is a gift.
