BKFC 4 - Dthot vs Grochowik - Preview
Hello MMA fans I’m Alexei Smirnov here today to give you your preview for BKFC 4. This will be my first preview of many BKFC events to come in the future. For this preview I will be writing about the co-main event and main event plus one or two chosen fights I want to talk about. We have a lot of great fights and young contenders to get to. The fans in Montreal are in for a good one!
Dillon "The Villain" Hardman vs Marko "The Butcher" Zrinski
My chosen fight to write about for tonight's Dillon “The Villain” Hardman (0-2-0) taking on Marko “The Butcher” Zrinski (1-0-0). This was my chosen fight for the night as both these two prospects have a lot of potential and have similar skill levels. Hardman is yet to get a win in his professional career but he shows a lot of skill that has yet to be shown. Hardman has a granite chin and has only lost both of his fights due to decision. He hasn’t shown us his KO power but, he is definitely hard to KO! Hardman seems to be a better grappler than Zrinski so I wouldn’t be surprised to see him go for a lot of cliches and wear his opponent down. Zrinski is coming off of a close decision win where he used his boxing and striking to great effect. Clearly a striker by nature I bet we’ll be seeing him go for a lot of head strikes in this fight. Zrinski was unable to KO his opponent on the last go around and it’ll be even harder against Hardman. Zrinski we are looking to out strike his opponent and hopefully the judges side with him.
My pick: Hardman via TKO (strikes)
There are many unknowns about this fight but, from the things I do know I think Hardman can pick up his first win here. I doubt Zrinski can KO him here or even close and if Hardman can get a few clinches I think he can finish it. Still a close one and if it comes to a decision I could see Zrinski getting a win. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.
Co-Main Event: Matteo "Chef" Bottura vs Maciej "Mouse" Michura
Now we have Matteo “Chef” Bottura (2-0-0) taking on Maciej “Mouse” Michura (2-1-0). Both fighters coming off of two straight wins so who can keep the momentum? Bottura is still undefeated in his short career and he looks to keep it that way. His granite chin is notable although won’t matter too much in this matchup as Michura is a grappler. Bottura also seems to have good KO power as he has finished both of his fights. Bottura has great striking although a weaker ground game which could be used against him in this fight. Bottura has a lot of potential to be a great fighter in BKFC showing great hiddens and an ability to win fights. Let’s see how he does in this matchup. Michura is the elder to Bottura and is coming off two straight wins. His first fight was a fast KO but he's bounced back since. Michura is very clearly a grappler with both of his wins coming via Kimura but, he has an obvious weak spot in his standup game and chin. Michura is a master at getting an early takedown and keeping his opponent there. If he can get a takedown I could see him ending the fight fast.
My pick: Bottura via KO (Punch)
Bottura has only managed TKO’s in his career so far but I see him getting a clean KO in this fight. Michura has shown that his chin isn’t that great getting KO’d in 12 seconds. If Bottura can avoid the early takedown it’ll only take one shot to get a KO. Bottura is a great up and coming prospect and I can see him doing great things.
Main Event: Willa Dthot vs Adam "Bear" Grochowik
Now it’s time for the main event of the evening. It’s Willa Dthot (2-0-0) taking on Adam “Bear” Grochowik (4-1-0). Lots of momentum on these two as they’ve been doing a lot of winning and not much losing. Dthot is currently undefeated after two TKO wins. Dthot is a striking with elite Muay Tai and great striking. He has lots of power in his hands and KO almost anyone. He’ll be looking to clinch Grochowik and use his Muay Tai and wrestling to end it from there. With a deadly mix of powerful striking and good clinch ability Dthot can defeat most stand up fighters. Grochowik is a man who was very dominant in Madness with 4 finishes and only one loss via sub. Grochowik has shown that he can finish opponents consistently and he has never had a fight go longer than the first round. Grochowik’s specialty is his boxing with great striking I doubt this fight will see any ground action. Grochwik’s main flaw is that he can cut easily, luckily that hasn’t been a huge factor for him so far. With a lot of wins and experience under his belt Grochwik has the advantage there. Who will win this BKFC main event? Let’s find out!
My pick: Dthot via TKO (Strikes)
This was a hard fight to pick for but, I have to go with Dthot. Dthot has the ability to take this fight into the clinch and I don’t think Grochwik can do much about that. With Dthot’s power he can match Grochwik’s striking as well and cuts could play a factor too. Grochowik’s best option would be to finish the fight as early as possible which we’ve seen him too. Grochwik can feel free to prove me wrong. Great main event for this event.
Overall a great looking event folks and thanks to all the managers helping me and participating. These picks are in good fun and I mean no offense, feel free to prove my picks wrong too! Have a great rest of your day and remember to…
