‍

Amateur Fights: Rising Prospects and Local Talent

Brian Lim vs. Dylan Leonard
Opening the night, Lim will fight to avoid dropping to 0–4, while Leonard looks to build momentum after his gritty win over Brady Walker in June.

Xavier Beeck vs. Nathan Rousseau
Two well-matched flyweights who could soon turn pro. Rousseau’s defensive sharpness will be tested against Beeck’s dangerous submission game — all three of Beeck’s wins have come via choke.

Arron Eccles vs. Jedd Egan
Both fighters step up from Domination MMA to the bright lights of Eternal Perth HPC, eager to prove they belong.

Kaleb Steinnokel vs. Luke Matchitt

Steinnokel’s comeback continues after a long layoff. Once 3–0, now 3–6, he flashes elite potential in every bout. Matchitt, still chasing his first Eternal win, brings hunger and pressure. Expect fireworks and maybe the feel-good story of the night.

Joseph Bird vs. Nima Behrouz

Two elite amateurs collide. Bird rides a five-fight win streak built on relentless wrestling, while Behrouz, unbeaten in six, topped Australian MMA Magazine’s pound-for-pound amateur rankings earlier this year. Between them, 12 fights, zero finishes — will someone finally make a statement?

Paddy Cameron vs. Harvey Youngman

Cameron enters as the heavy favourite, looking to rebound from a close loss to Behrouz. Youngman’s lone win in his last five makes this a must-win.

Ayden Todoroff vs. Shai Krimotat

Todoroff’s 2025 run has been stellar — four straight wins, a redemption victory over Alex Torres, and top spot on Tapology’s Amateur Lightweight Rankings. Krimotat flies in from NSW, setting up a genuine Fight of the Night contender.

Jesse Wynne vs. Michael Alsop

The feature prelim sees two top-tier flyweights collide. Wynne looks to go 2-0 as a pro, while Alsop makes his debut after a strong amateur campaign. Both are fast, technical, and exciting — expect high-level MMA from start to finish.

Eternal 99 Main Card: Perth’s Biggest MMA Night of 2025

Despite late withdrawals from Steven Wong and Wes Capper, the five-fight main card delivers plenty of intrigue and star power.

Kallum Parker vs. Emmanuel Ritti

Parker, training out of Manchester Top Team (home to UFC’s Lerone Murphy), brings experience from Cage Warriors and a durable, aggressive style. Ritti, under Steve Kennedy at Kickass MMA, thrives in chaos and will look for a highlight-reel finish in front of his home fans.

Patrick Hill vs. Assane Sall

Hill blends rugby toughness with judo and BJJ credentials — a genuine all-rounder. Sall, based at Bangtao Muay Thai & MMA in Thailand, is one of Australia’s most talked-about prospects. Expect a striker vs. grappler clash that could end anywhere.

Kevin Kophamel vs. A’Keithion Whitner

Kophamel returns after his legendary war with Harry Webb, meeting undefeated American powerhouse Whitner (4-0). With both men known for violence, this could easily steal the show.

Abdalla Biayda vs. Luke Dally

Biayda, one of Western Australia’s brightest talents, looks to build on his June win over Campbell Symes. Dally, dangerous on the mat, aims to spoil the party and drag the fight into deep waters. Dally, a bright star out of infinite MMA is looking to establish himself at the top of the lightweight ranks, after returning after a year hiatus from an injury suffered during his bout with now welterweight champion David Martinez.

Main Event: Takeshi Taniguchi (c) vs. Anthony Drilich

Taniguchi defends his Eternal Flyweight Title against former champ Anthony Drilich, who vacated the belt for a Contender Series shot. Drilich’s recent win over Brian Hyslop showed he’s still elite, while Taniguchi has been waiting nearly a year for this challenge. Expect a technical, high-paced championship fight to close the night. Takeshi Taniguchi won the belt in a hard fought battle last year against Frank Jankowski. Taniguchi is super exciting on the feet and evemn throws in a few verbal jabs throughout the bout
