FEATHERWEIGHT Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter Chris Power from Coffs Harbour is now ranked No. 1 in Australia and New Zealand after winning Saturday night’s Eternal MMA 104 fight on the Gold Coast.
Chris fought Ayden Todoroff from Base MMA in Perth, who won amateur fighter of the year 2025 and was ranked #2 featherweight and #1 lightweight in Australia and New Zealand.
Featherweight champion Chris won with a D’Arce choke in the 59th second of round one, taking his undefeated record to 7 wins – 0 losses.
Eternal announced Chris as “The Fighting Pride of the Mid North Coast”.
Chris trains at Coffs Combat Academy under coach Shane Cassidy.
“The lead-up to the fight went really well, everything went according to plan with dieting and training,” Shane told News Of The Area.
“We had a gameplan which Chris chose not to follow.
“He saw an opportunity in the opening seconds of the fight and took it, and it was the right move.”
