Background
The cage door closes on doubt when Eternal MMA returns to the Gold Coast with its most electrifying event of the year. On June 20, the Southport Sharks will ignite as Eternal MMA 96 unleashes a card built for carnage, courage, and championship glory.
All eyes are on the Middleweight throne as reigning champion Darcy "The Usurper" Vendy puts his title and dominance to the test against knockout artist Blair Bretag. Vendy, riding high on a wave of finishes and former-champion scalps, isn’t just defending a belt, he’s defending a legacy. But Bretag is a force of nature, armed with four first-round knockouts and a hunger that can’t be denied. This isn’t just a title fight, it’s a seismic collision of power, pride, and precision.
And if that weren’t enough to shake the cage, the Interim Flyweight Championship hangs in the balance as Connor Birch and Matty Iann step into the spotlight. Speed, technique, and high-stakes ambition, this matchup promises fireworks as both fighters look to seize gold and cement their place in Eternal history.
But titles aren’t the only thing up for grabs. Rising contenders like Tasar Malone, Ethan Mitchell, and Ben Watson are here to prove that the next wave of MMA talent is ready to rise. From featherweights to welterweights, every bout has the potential to steal the show, and every fighter knows that a single performance can change the course of their career.
This is more than an event, it’s a proving ground for Australia’s finest warriors. Eternal MMA 96 is ready to deliver eight professional bouts, a showcase of hungry amateurs, and a night packed with raw adrenaline, unmatched skill, and the kind of unforgettable moments only this sport can produce.
June 20. Gold Coast. Southport Sharks. Eternal MMA 96 will leave no questions, only knockouts.
