The Fight HQ and Eternal MMA values are aligned when it comes to making sure that combat sports athletes in Australia are supported through their martial arts journey.

We are excited about supporting the upcoming & elite athletes competing in Eternal MMA, and following their journey to the next level of international competition. I believes the professionalism, business model and values of the Eternal MMA Team align heavily with the FightHQ family.”
