Before you ask, this preview can’t be read simultaneously as the album or the Wizard of Oz movie unless you’re smoking some weed right now. But leaving the mysterious part aside, we will have some great fights. Marshal versus Skins might worth a title show in the lightweight division. There is also Adams against Christopher. A clash of heavyweight strikers! But there is no time to waste. Now starts the Galaxy 8: Darkside Of The Moon Preview!


Frankie ‘’The Furz’’ Furzon vs Dan ‘’The Joker’’ Torres

Both this guys fought for Galaxy FC and lost. Furzon had a tough match where he was dominated the entire fight on the ground and end up losing by UD. Torres didn’t last a round and lost by TKO. Now these guys want to prove they can overcome their bad result. For that, Torres has to use his excellent boxing to knockout his opponent. Furzon is a well rounded fighter and should be looking to take the fight to the ground. Both of these guys performance didn’t speak to me yet but I bet we will have a good fight!


Denis Opal vs ‘’Body Fat’’ Paul Thomas

For the second time, Thomas is having a rematch against a guy he fought in 2010! Wow, this guy has history! But in his last vendetta, he didn’t last much in Guy’s hands and now he has a 7 loss streak! Opal isn’t that bad but he lost his 2 last fights. But none of that matters! These guys are well rounded fighters equally even so anything can happen in this fight! I bet you won’t even be able to breathe during the fight because of the intensive action! I’m really pumped for it!


Marcus ‘’Hammer’’ Hanson vs Xavier Sin

Once again we have a fight between two guys that lost in their debut in Galaxy FC. Hanson was quickly submitted and Sin lost by decision in a crazy fight. Both of these guys are strikers but Hanson likes to clinch. How Sin will behave about that? Hanson also recently got a blue belt but I don’t think this fight will go to the ground. Hanson has the tools to score a knockout in the clinch. However, this fight is pretty even on the feet. Sin might be in a bad spot here. If he loses for the third time in 3 fights he better be on the run! And maybe find a more suitable job!


Nes Quick vs Trefor ‘’The Tank’’ Thomas

We finally have a guy who won last fight! Thomas put a show in his last fight against Mubarak and got a solid UD victory! I can’t say the same thing for Quick. He was brutally knocked out in only 26 seconds! Quick has the better ground game while Thomas is the better striker but the interesting thing to point out here is that Quick is in terrible shape! If he goes to the fight like that he won’t last much again! Time to recover is the key here. If he doesn’t rest, he will be an easy prey for Thomas!


Greg McDonald vs Sekhmakh ‘’The Macabre’’ Mubarak

McDonald is a newcomer. He is a proficient striker and has a record of 2 victories and both by KO! Mubarak is a proficient boxer and wrestler. He is also a veteran with 15 fights and in his first fight for Galaxy FC he lost by decision. This fight is very interesting! I would give McDonald the edge in the feet but I won’t be surprised if Mubarak scores a KO! But the key to the victory here for him is to drag the fight to the ground where he should be the better fighter. This fight has the potential to be the great gig in the sky! I mean, in the event! So don’t miss that!


‘’Sme’’ Shawn Kowalski vs Geroge ‘’Gorgeous’’ Davis

Kowalski is debuting for the org. He is a good boxer with decent ground skills and has a record of 4-2. Davis lost his fight in Galaxy FC by decision where he showed a lot of heart and survived until the end! But nothing else. Kowalski only has 1 KO in 8 fights. I bet he wants badly to score one in this event. Davis, in the other hand, should try constantly to get a takedown.  This fight is pretty close so I would bet any of my money here!


Simon ‘’Quick’’ Sands vs Emil ‘’Pretty boy’’ Gustafsson

In the battle of the British against the horde of the Gustafsson invaders that are proliferating in Galaxy FC, we have Sands defending the Queen’s side. He is a well rounded fighter with a victory in his career and it was by KO! The Swede is a proficient muay thai fighter with a decent ground game. He also has a victory in his career but it was by decision. Gustaffson is the better striker here so Sands should look to take the fight to the ground in order to win. In this battle of us and them, we definitely gonna see a war!


‘’Sergeant’’ Douglas Wilkes vs Alexander ‘’The Mauler’’ Gustafsson

Continuing the battle against the Gustafssons, we have Wilkes, a wrestler with 2 decision wins in his career. This Gustafsson is a good boxer with an average ground game and he has a record of 4-2. It’s a common striker versus grappler fight but both guys are not finishers. Wiles like to endlessly beat their opponents while Gustafsson had an only one KO victory in 6 fights. But none of that matters because even they are not finishers, they fight to kill and I bet they will paint the octagon red or any colour you like! This fight will be great!


Eliah Marshal vs Tony Skins

In the co-main event of the evening, we have a possible title eliminator fight! Marshal is an exceptional wrestler with an undefeated record of 5 wins! He is going to fight against Skins a well rounded fighter with a terrible cartel of 15-28! From his 15 wins, none were by KO and 8 were by subs so, we should see a grappling fight here! Although Skins has a better BJJ belt and is more experienced, I think Marshal will put his wrestling skills to work and beat so much his opponent that he will have to go to the hospital with some brain damage! But let’s not put the cart before the horse. It’s a tough fight and anything can happen!


Lawrence ‘’The Gorilla’’ Adams vs ‘’Frankford Slashes’’ Leonard Christopher

I can’t tell you how much I’m thrilled for this fight! These guys are strikers and they are hunger for a KO! Adams was given a title shot last fight but lost via submission in the first round. This was his first lost in his career and he didn’t show us the excellent striker he is. But now he will face Christopher, also an excellent boxer with a record of 3-1. In his last fight, he only took 26 seconds to KO his opponent and score the KO of the night! I bet the KO of the night lies here! If this fight last one round I’ll be really surprised because they will beat each other so hard that their heads will get swollen to the point to create an eclipse by covering the spotlights! This fight is gonna be awesome!


I hope some Pink Floyd fan unveil what I miserably try to do with the preview. Most of the card is filled with rookies but I bet they will do great. The veterans here have tough fights. We might have a lightweight contender and the main event, bringing two deadly strikers, can’t go wrong! This is our second last preview, so enjoy with moderation!


See ya
