Beatdown Promotions 11: Featherweight Title Fight Headlines Stacked July 5 Card Live on DAZN

Queensland’s Beatdown Promotions returns with another explosive night of MMA, headlined by a featherweight championship clash between Marwan Rahiki and Gabriel Schlupp, live and exclusively on DAZN.

Beatdown 11: Event Overview

Beatdown Promotions is back with Beatdown 11 on Saturday, July 5, delivering another action-packed event from Eatons Hill Hotel in Brisbane. Following a sellout crowd in March, the promotion now looks to crown a new Featherweight Champion in what promises to be a memorable main event.

Fans can catch the full fight night live and exclusively on DAZN.com, with preliminary bouts also streaming free on DAZN MMA’s YouTube channel.

Main Event: Rahiki vs. Schlupp – Featherweight Title Fight

Marwan Rahiki (5-0) vs. Gabriel Schlupp (6-1)

In the headline bout, undefeated New South Wales featherweight Marwan Rahiki faces off against Queensland’s Gabriel Schlupp for the vacant 145-pound title.

Rahiki enters the bout fresh off a dominant win on May 31 against Semakadde Kakembo. His clean record and well-rounded skillset will be tested by Schlupp—a seasoned athlete with experience in Jiu Jitsu, Judo, Muay Thai, and Boxing. Schlupp’s only career loss came early, and since then, he has shown major improvements across all areas of MMA.

With gold on the line and both men on a tear, the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Co-Main Event: Barber vs. Gillies – Fight of the Night Potential

Michael Barber vs. Dimps Gillies

Two certified brawlers collide in the co-main event as Victoria’s Michael Barber battles Kiwi powerhouse Dimps Gillies. This featherweight showdown is already being labelled as a potential “Fight of the Year” with both athletes known for their aggression and highlight-reel finishes.

Expect fireworks from the opening bell.
