Firebombing Came After Major Career Milestone for Harry Webb

The arson attack occurred on the same night Infinite MMA announced that rising Australian MMA star Harry Webb had signed an exclusive five-fight, 12-month deal with Eternal MMA, one of Australia’s premier MMA promotions.

Two individuals reportedly forced entry into the gym and used accelerants to ignite the fire, which caused significant damage to the reception area and widespread smoke damage throughout the building.

The attack was a shocking moment for the Ballarat sporting community, especially given the timing with Webb's career milestone.
