This last event of the year was a blast! With a rating of 144 almost beat the previous record only by 0.29! Once again we had a sold out event but that is no surprise because you guys are freaking awesome! We had some excellent fights like Du Coudray versus Miller and the amazing knockout by Castillo! This guy finished his fight with a superman punch! How cool is that? But I’ll tell what else is cool: The Galaxy 5: Fireworks review and it is ready so enjoy it!

Keiji Kawada vs Mercenary Katarina

Well, what can I say about this fight? It lasted the entire 3 rounds, Kawada was dominant all the 15 minutes and the best of all, neither of these guys landed a single strike in the entire fight! What that fuck happened!? Kawada tried 10 strikes and nothing. Katarina tried 13 and bogus. I didn’t think I would live to see such an embarrassing match. Kawada has a better excuse since he is a BJJ fighter but Katarina, my friend, I would go see an ophthalmologist right now or simple try to find a more suitable job! Kawada got a UD victory mostly because he dictated the pace and tried some subs but that’s all!

´´Your Fantanasy’’ Zack Fantana vs Reginald Francis Colon

In the first move of the fight, Colon moves the fight into clinch, Fantana’s area of expertise! What was that guy trying to prove? Fortunately for him, Fantana didn’t seem very aggressive and the fight was very equal. After a minute Colong gets a takedown and build his way to the victory! After some ground and pound and some sub attempts he landed a huge elbow that hurt Fantana and two more strikes was enough to the referee stop the fight. Second loss for Fantana in Galaxy FC and 4 in a roll! Colon, in the other hand, landed his second first round win in Galaxy FC. This kid has future!

Top Gun vs Rajesh Nahasemapetilon

I was hoping to see a striking match here but once again Top Gun put in practice his frenetic crazy gameplan. He started to clinch then breaks clinch. He gets a takedown than he stands up. This kid is nuts but it is working pretty well for him! Although Rajesh is the better striker he only landed 2 punches in 31 attempts and that’s pretty bad! By the end of the second round, after pulling guard, Gun gets an armbar and finally finishes the fight! Despite his insanity, it was his second victory in Galaxy FC and nailed the sub of the night! Rajesh, once again, adds a sub loss in his cartel. Some defensive grappling won’t hurt.

That Guy vs ‘’Body Fat’’ Paul Thomas

Thomas had a shot to finally win Guy but again he didn’t do his job and now he has to face that he lost to the same ‘’Guy’’ three times! The fight itself didn’t last long. Thomas got an early takedown but instead of attacking his opponent since he was on top, he saw Guy try submission after submission until in the fourth attempt he gets an armbar and that’s all over! A solid victory for Guy who is coming close to the top of the division. And what about Thomas, if he can beat ‘’That Guy’’ what else he can do in his career?

‘’Sholes Goals’’ Shola Ameobi vs Chris ‘’Hunter’’ Mostavo

In this battle of grapplers, Ameobi didn’t take a second to takedown his opponent and after that he used his ground and pound to build his victory. The entire first round was about Ameobi beating Mostavo and the second wasn’t different. And early takedown and more ground and pound but this time Mostavo could hang it and Ameobi finally managed to stop the fight after some strikes. The referee was right to put Mostavo out of his misery! Great victory for the wrestler Ameobi! It’s not easy to a wrestler beat a BJJ fighter!

Ozzie Castillo vs ‘’Speedy’’ Owen Glyde

I called that it was going to be an even match on the feet but boy, I was wrong! Castillo was deadly with his hands landing 15 of 16 strikes. Glyde was stunned by Castillo performance and basically was just a punchbag until Castillo rock’s Glyde and than finishes with a superman punch that knocked out cold his opponent! That was freaking awesome! I’ve got to say I’m a little jealous right now! Huge victory for Castillo, who is now on the top 3 of his division! And of course, the KO of the night was more than well deserved! Congratulations!

Roene Dekker vs Magomed ‘’Ji-est Bro’’ Malikov

I was pretty sure that this fight was going to be even in the feet and on the ground. But I didn’t predict what would happen if it goes into the clinch and that is what happened. Malikov was no match for Dekker. He dominated the entire fight, landing 54 punches while Malikov missed all 23 attempts and also didn’t get luck with his 6 attempts to takedown. By the end of the fight Dekker landed a knockdown that rocked his opponent but he couldn’t finish the fight so he got a solid UD victory! After the fight, Dekker gave an interview calling Du Coudray for a rematch! Is that the birth of a rivalry in Galaxy FC? Let’s hope so!

Neil ‘’The Enforcer’’ Miller vs ‘’Bounty Hunter’’ Jaques Du Coudray

This fight was the fight of the night and oh man, Du Coudray is a vicious fighter! In my opinion, Miller was slightly better striker but Du Coudray proved me wrong! The first round we had a great display of a striking match. Du Coudray showed some great muay thai skills and that made him the winner of the first round. In the second, stayed more aggressive and keep dominating. He even got a takedown o assure he opens a 20-18 score. On the third, Miller knew he needed to step up and get a knockout and to do that he started to be more aggressive and that worked well for him but it wasn’t enough. Du Coudray in the end of the round scored another takedown to close the coffin and get his third win in his career and remains undefeated. This guy will go far! Miller had his first loss in his career. How much will that affect his performance? I bet this kid has much more to show us!

Cyprian Warga vs Michael Griffin

In the co-main event of the evening we had the quickest knockout of the night! In only 30 seconds we had an amazing fight! Both of these guys want to knockout each other! Griffin was doing fine but Warga landed a high kick that knocked him down! He tried to recover but Warga keep pressuring him with punches, making the referee jumps to save him! Wow, that was awesome! I feel bad that I didn’t give any award to this fight. Warga was supposed to get a title shot after this bout but Galaxy FC overlord thinks he would wait too much time to fight again so it would be wise to keep Warga active and bloodthirsty!

Nicky Lowe vs ‘’Droppy’’ Dick Shaver

In the main event we had a slow paced fight. Shaver got a takedown as soon the bell rings. He lay and pray until the referee stand them up. A few exchanges and a new takedown for shaver close the first round for him. The second round started with Lowe trying to strike but another takedown frustrated his plan. Once again the referee intervened. Back to the feet, now is clinch time. Lowe did a little better but surprise surprise, Shaver gets another takedown! But this time, after a sloppy sub attempt Lowe sweeps and stays on top until the end tying the fight! In the last and decisive round we had a close match on the feet until Shaver gets his last takedown, move to full mount and waited for the victory to come! Shaver knew what he was doing and he got it! Now he will be fighting Overeem to see who will become the first Galaxy FC welterweight champion!

Well, that’s it guys. One more review for you! I really like this event. I think we close the year in great style and I can’t see anything else than a bright future. So I’m counting on you guy to grow even further! And a special thanks to Miller and Du Coudray for the awesome fight; to Warga that even though he lost a direct chance for the title and the KO of the night he is still one of the best fighters in the org and I’m sure he has a bright future here; and to Castillo for giving Galaxy FC such an amazing knockout! Happy new year, everybody!

See ya
