Eternal 97 lit up Perth over the weekend with a sold-out show at Perth HPC, headlined by Abdalla “The Nubian Warrior” Biayda and Campbell Symes. With 1,950+ fans in attendance, the energy was electric — and none more so than inside the Proper No. Twelve Champions Club.

A full 215 guests experienced Eternal MMA the Proper way, with a private area, food and drink packages, and an exclusive meet and greet with the UFC’s newly crowned welterweight king: Jack Della Maddalena.

Jack’s appearance wasn’t just a star cameo — it was a triumphant homecoming. The Perth native and former Eternal MMA welterweight champion (2017–2020) was welcomed with thunderous applause as he returned to the platform where his legendary rise began. With an 18-fight win streak, 10 Eternal fights, and titles like UFC Men’s Rookie of the Year (2022) under his belt, Jack’s presence added a touch of greatness to an already stacked night.

Champions Club attendees were treated to a once-in-a-lifetime moment: a photo with the champ and a proper reminder of where greatness starts.

As for the fights — they delivered in every way. From crisp submissions to devastating knockouts, Eternal 97 showcased the best of Australian MMA. The main event ended in highlight-reel fashion with Biayda landing a third-round walk-off KO to seal the deal.

From the roar of the crowd to the clink of Proper No. Twelve toasts, Eternal 97 was an unforgettable experience — especially for those lucky enough to enjoy it from the best seat in the house.
