FEATHERWEIGHT mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter Chris Power extended his unbeaten streak to 6-0 with a dominant unanimous points decision win at Eternal MMA’s 100th show on Friday 14 November.
This latest win comes after claiming the Grow Strong Fight Series featherweight title in Warwick, Queensland with a first-round submission on 18 October.
Twenty-six-year-old Chris trains at Coffs Combat Academy under coach Shane Cassidy.
He is currently the 9th ranked amateur featherweight in Australia (yet to be updated after winning Eternal).
“Chris had to cut weight twice within four weeks for the last two fights which is an achievement in itself,” Cassidy told News Of The Area.
“We won the Grow Strong title and took no damage, and then got offered the Eternal fight with only a three-week lead time, which in terms of fight preparation is not a lot.
“But he didn’t lose a round.
“His skills, and strength and conditioning never let him down because his work ethic and commitment to training is unwavering.”
Power is a black belt in taekwondo and a brown belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and has been training in martial arts since the age of eight.
