Well well well, what do we have here? First time in a loooong time that we had no need for the judges! 10 fights and 10 finishes!

The last time we had all fights finished on a card we have to go back to LFNC 81 - Mclean v Bronson. Before that the only other time was LFNC 30 - TriplexXx.

So what bonuses do I send out? The Fight of the Night, KO of the Night and Submission of the Night is a handy $5000. The winner of any other finished fig

This event was amazing! We have a 131 of rating with is the Best by far and we had a sold out arena! We also have 3 new champions! Drakkar, Martin and Rommel did great and didn’t care about their opponents, ending all fights with a finish. Talking about finish, we had 6 submissions and 4 of them were by triangle! We also had some awesome knockouts and only one fight ending by decision! This event couldn’t be better so congratulations to everybody who fight today! Now let’s wrap up and begin Galaxy 9: Champion Review!

Liam ‘’The Phenom’’ Lawrence vs Beni Hasan

The events opened up in great style. The fight starts and Hasan gets a quick takedown into mount! Hasan goes for an armbar but he doesn’t get it. He tries again and not only fail but let Lawrence reverse the position! But luckily, Lawrence just sits in Hasan guard, waiting to get submitted until Hasan finally gets it with a triangle armbar! Wow, great finish! Hasan should be very prou

Hello and welcome back to another sensational Tapout or Passout card! We have the Lightweight Belt on the line tonight and an absolutely STACKED card! Hopefully you can lift your jaw off the ground at the end of tonight, because many of our warriors will find where their Breaking Point is, or where there opponents' may lie! Buckle Up Buttercup and let the fights begin!

"The Prince of Perogies" Mark Borocop vs Byron "The Ninja" Wickline

Borocop enters the cage tonight riding a perfect 5-0 record to start his MMA career with four of those victories coming via KO. Entering opposite cage this evening is another fighter with five wins on his resume and all via Submissions. We clearly have two contrasting fighting styles tonight, and we will have to see who can exert his will to earn the "W". Wickline comes out swinging with a 5 punch combo that fails to finds its target. Wickline then drops and drives for a takedown but Borocop defends and lands a good right hook on Wickline's jaw! Wickline didn't like that very much, backs up and circles. Wicklin

EMMA 15 is in the books and what a night it was, from the first fight of the night all the way till the main event, the fighters delivered. Let’s take a look at some of the fights and fighters involved.

(W)Paul Hewson vs (L)Sonny Boom

This fight had everyone on their feet as both those welterweights simply brawled it out. Hewson came out swinging for the fences, trying to catch Boom with punches and takedowns who in turn was counter striking, attacking the legs and looking for the clinch. Boom was stronger and more versatile in the clinch but Hewson surprised everyone by being able to break clinch effectively. The fight was going Boom’s way as he started to connect with significant strikes but Hewson kept coming and landed a haymaker of a hook that stole him the fight at 4:17 of the first round in what ended up being the nights “Knock Out of the night”. Hewson is really confident in his power and rightfully so. The title rematch has already been booked

A raucous capacity crowd packed into Hard Knocks arena on Saturday night for an exciting fight card that some some of the strangest and most inconsistent judging that we have seen to date in GFC.  Half of the fights ended in either a majority or split decision, showing clear descension among the judges and leaving GFC management and a number of fighters extremely frustrated by the lack of consistency.  Though he was frustrated by the judging, org owner Todd Chandler was quick to point out that fighters who finish their fights are not subject to the feelings of the judges and there is a lesson to be learned from this fight card.

The first fight was a lightweight bout that had a clear winner when Clifford Donovan (1-1) had his way with Shaun Bapp (1-2).  Donovan initiated the clinch early in round one and proceeded to spend the entire round pummeling Bapp with knees to the head and body, throwing in the occasional elbow for good measure.  Round two saw more of the same,

The Main Event: Sebastian Belousov vs. Simon Morgan.
 
Yarr Mateys! We be havin' ourselfs a Capt'n brawling!.. Ahem. Okay. So it's "Captain" Simon Morgan, a highly talented 21 year old stand-up
maniac against a Sebastian Belousov who... Stand-up wise... doesn't stand a chance, pretty much. Simon Morgan has the distinct advantage
in the clinch, as Sebastian Belousov is Useless there, and... well, Morgan is one level away from being Elite. So yeah. Whoopdiedoo for Morgan.
It's hard to write a review for this one since the results

Middleweight Title Fight

#1 Facaloto Gals (11-3, 3-0 NGF) v #5 Purpura Mortis (6-2, 0-0 NGF)

A couple of finallys, we are finally going to see Facaloto Gals defend his belt again and we are finally going to see Purpura Mortis fight.  Gals hasn’t fought since November 24th and NGF 26 where he successfully defended his belt with a 1st round submission win over Xian Jinxi.  Gals will look for the take down and then the submission.  What he lacks in a stand up game, he makes up in his wrestling and BJJ skills.  Purpura Mortis, is simply the top prospect in the middleweight division.  He’s another product of Jima Jamm, who just keeps churning out skilled fighters.  Mortis is, well, awesome.  He doesn’t look to have a
