Event Preview: Galaxy 100: The Galaxy Show
Feral Combat

Ladies and gentleman, I’m here to announce a legendary moment in the MMA history! On november 30th 2012, Galaxy Fighting Championship host his first event called ‘’Galaxy 1: The Big Bang! ‘’. One year and 99 events later we are still here in 2013 in the exact same november 30th to host our 100th event! We saw a lot of remarkable moments along the way. We watch champions rise and fall. We watch fighters start from scratch and build their dynasty here. Of course, we hit a few bumps on the way but it only made us better to finally get here in this legendary event for us! To celebrate this wonderful day, we will have some bloodthirsty fighters willing to give all they have so they can leave the octagon with a smile on the face and pride on the soul! There are 2 belts on stake here. The rising star Viulu will defend the light heavyweight title while the legend Rastila will show the true heart of the champion so he can defend the heavyweight title! And now, I’d like to welcome you all to The Galaxy Show!

 

 

Marek Koltun vs Max Kaz

 

To open this great event we will have Koltun, a Galaxy FC veteran seeking to achieve the top of the welterweight division, against the newcomer Kaz who has an undefeated record and even already won a title fight for other org. Koltun has been with us since Galaxy 2, having fighting all his 11 fights here. He is still young and already showed us some true talent. He is a very efficient fighter and can fight wherever the fight goes. He is not a finisher though. We can’t say the same about Kaz, in his 4 fights so far he KO his opponents in all of them and 3 were in the 1st round! I believe Kaz has some legit talent and can do great here in the org but he has never faced someone like Koltun. Today is the day he has to show how tough he is or otherwise Koltun will use his experience to win this fight!

 

 

Eliah Marshal vs Keith Richards

 

Marshal is other respected veteran of Galaxy FC. He has been with the org since Galaxy 8, fought 12 times with 7 wins. He also attempted twice for the title but both times he failed. Richards had a rough start in the org when he lost to Burczinski but he overcame this lost and now he has 3 wins in a roll. Despite what he looks like, Marshal is a clinch fighter. Richards in the other hard is a pure striker. Both of them tend to fight smart instead of brawling. That means they go to decision a lot. But since they have different areas of expertise, I’m hoping to see a KO here. If Richards stays out of the clinch, I think he can outstrike his opponent and win the bout.

 

 

Omar Jackson vs Brian Redban

 

In this fight for the featherweight division, we have a very close fight. Jackson is still new here since he only fought twice. In his last fight he could earn a title shot but end up losing by decision. Redban has already 7 fights for the org but he has been very inconstant. Both fighters are well rounded but it looks like they both prefer to strike instead going to the ground. Maybe the key to the victory here is to score a takedown to stay on the top. I don’t think we have a favorite here. They both have the same skills and they are basically the same ID. A 50/50 couldn’t describe this fight any better!

 

 

Kurt Schindler vs ‘’Raging Bull’’ Derrick Rose

 

For the lightweight division, we have a classic striker versus grappler fight.  Schindler has 9 fights for the org with all of the ending by decision. In the last one he decided to spice things up and instead getting a UD, he won by split decision. Still, a decision. The homonymous from the injured basketball player didn’t have a smooth start. He lost his 2 first fights for the org but then he won the next 3, earning himself a title shot. Unfortunately for him he felt quickly by the champion. Schindler is a grappler and he comes from 3 wins in a roll while Rose is a clinch fighter with 2 losses in a roll. Despite of the different moments, Rose is the favorite here. Once he moves the fight into clinch, he will punish hard his opponent with knees and I don’t think Schindler will survive many of those. Still, finishing the decision guy won’t be easy!

 

 

‘’Wonderboy’’ Chris Van De Kemp vs ’’The Glasgow Phenom’’ Michal MacRoberts

 

If this fight was a contest to see who has more fights for Galaxy FC, Van De Kemp would win by 16-15. Yes, these guys put together have 31 fights for the org! How awesome is that? Van De Kemp is a true warrior, he is very young and yet he faces older fighters so bravely. He attempted for the title 3 times and lost all of them but it didn’t break his spirit! MacRoberts have been oscillating between good and bad moments, never reaching the top of the division. We have here other classic striker versus grappler fight. MacRoberts needs to use his boxing to score a knockout while Van De Kemp relies a lot in his BJJ. Van De Kemp struggles a lot to score takedowns but if he gets it, I believe he can finish his opponent. Otherwise MacRoberts will punish him until he gets a knockout!

 

 

Rank ‘’Xe’’ Rox vs Tasos Ieronymakis

 

Opening the main card we have a rematch. Tasos is probably the best skilled fighter of the org and he has a record of 7 wins and 1 lost. This only lost was for Rox on Galaxy 60 when he was debuting for the org.  But now he has 4 wins in a roll. Rox come really close to get a shot for the title but lost for Du Coudray in one of the biggest upsets in the Galaxy FC history! I believe we will see an extremely technical stand and bang fight! Tasos might surprise us and try to drag the fight to the ground but I believe he wants pay back in the same coin! They are one of the best strikers in the org and I think they will go for the kill the moment the bell rings! My prediction is that the fight won’t last more than a round and it can go both ways!

 

 

Casey Ryback vs Simon Phoenix

 

What to talk about these two Galaxy veterans? Ryback has been with us since Galaxy 3 and fought 14 times with 9 victories. He came close to fight for the title after a 4 win streak but lost to Burns. Phoenix is far behind. He debuted on Galaxy 4 and has 12 fights under the Galaxy flag with 7 victories. They have different fight styles. Ryback is a grappler holding a BJJ brown belt while Phoenix relies in his boxing. Both of them like to finish their fights with most of them ending on the first round. I believe this fight was last long either. Ryback is more well rounded but he won’t want to spend much time on the feet and fall to one of Phoenix haymakers but once on the ground, he can build his victory with ease.

 

 

‘’One Punch’’ Brad Brunch vs ‘’The’’ Matt Westworth

 

This fight worths a shot for the Openweight division. Brunch has been champion in 2 different occasions. But he stumbled twice against Swanson and stayed beltless for quite some time. On Galaxy  86 he conquered his title back but lost in an awesome fight in his first defense. Now he wants other opportunity to get this title for the third time! The only person staying in his way is Westworth. He debuted on Galaxy 28 but never got a good win streak until now that he has 3 wins in a roll. Both of them are relentless strikers with some good KO power. Brunch has 11 wins in his career and all of the by knockout! What nasty hands this guy has! Westworth, in his last 6 victories, also won by knockout all of them! This fight can go either way since both of fighters are pretty even. The only thing for sure is that we will see a knockout here!

 

 

‘’Nro 3’’ Luu Viulu vs John Barnes

 

In the co-main event we will have our first title fight of the night! Putting the light heavyweight belt on stake, Viulu is one of the rising stars of the org. He debuted on Galaxy 46 and in his next fight he already became champion! He had a little setback when he lost his title to BTS but shortly after he left the org so Viulu regain the vacant belt! Barnes is in an amazing win streak. He has 6 victories in a roll and all of them by KO! His last performances surely made everyone notice him and gave him a shot for the title. They are both strikers but with a catch, they both like to fight in the clinch! We might have a clinch war in this fight. Viulu likes to use his dirty box while Barnes has some deadly knees! Will they go to clinch and fight there or they will stay away from their opponent’s strong suit and just stand and bang? Don’t even blind because this fight will be awesome!

 

 

‘’The Phenom’’ Veiko Rastila vs William Burns

 

In the main event we will have a rematch the fans have been waiting for quite some time. On Galaxy FC Burns become the champion and he was so dominant at the time it was looking like he was going to build a dynasty here. Well, his dreams quickly crumbled when Rastila kick his ass in his first title defense. And from there it was Rastila that build his own legacy here in Galaxy FC! He was undefeated until he fell in the biggest upset in the Galaxy FC history! But in the rematch he pretty much dominated the fight and won the title back! Burns stayed away from the octagon for about 5 months since he lost to Rastila but now he is back and he wants revenge! Not to mention the title back! Rastila is the only hall of famer fighting today and he is probably the most successful fighter of the org. None of that matters to Burns who just want to beat the crap out of the champion. They are both vicious strikers and they won most of their fights by KO. This might be the greatest fight in the Galaxy FC history and I don’t expect anything less than an awesome KO!

 

 

Yo, guys! I tried to write about as much in every fight. I hope you enjoy this moment as much as I am. This is going to be a legendary moment and I’d like to thank you all. Without you, none of this could be possible and you should be proud because this org is yours too! But let’s not celebrate yet! We still have 10 fights to go so focus on your fight to come out victorious and carve your name on our history! It’s time to shine, guys! Let’s give the MMA fans a show!

 

 

See ya
