Background
The main event sees former WBC World Champion Ben Johnston look to extend his current 2 fight win streak and cement his status as one of the regions most dangerous middleweights against an international opponent.
Coming off an impressive second round submission win on Road FC, Yoon Seo Shin (2-2) travels to Australia confident in stopping the hometown favourite.
The co-main event sees former international Thai boxing champion and ONE Championship Super Series top five fighter, Elliot "The Dragon" Compton make his Eternal MMA debut against a top international prospect from Black Combat in South Korea.
