Former Eternal Flyweight Champion — Tim Moore
One half of the main event at Eternal 1, Tim Moore was the man from day one. Eternal’s history is intertwined with his name, he set the tone for the promotion’s legacy from the very beginning. On September 15, 2012, Tim and his dance partner Jacob Mahony gave fight fans three rounds of pure, blood-hungry violence in a main event that helped define what Eternal would become.
Tim captured the Flyweight Championship at Eternal 12 in September 2016, earning redemption in a rematch against Shaun “The Buzzsaw” Etchell, the very man who had beaten him previously to become the first-ever Eternal Flyweight Champion. This time, Tim had his moment, with the belt strapped around his waist after three hard rounds against the Tasmanian Buzzsaw.
He went on to defend his title twice. The first defence came at Eternal 14, where he submitted his opponent with an armbar in Round 2. His second successful defence was against Sean Gauci on Reign Fighting, Eternal’s then development-series.
Tim would later vacate the belt as life took priority for a while. His champion reign lasted just over two years and seven months, a testament to his consistency and dominance during that era. As he started a family and focused on life outside the cage, Tim eventually returned after a two-year layoff, stepping back into the Eternal cage in 2019 against Steve Erceg. Though he fell short with a submission lost, his return embodied the same fighting spirit that made him a champion.
Tim’s impact on Australian MMA is undeniable. He held belts in multiple promotions during a time when they truly mattered, sold out venues, and entertained fans every time he stepped into the cage.
Now, as that fighting spirit looks to settle once more, Quickdraw Tim Moore readies himself for one last dance at Eternal 100 fitting, rightful, and well deserved. An entertainer, a fighter, and a true champion.
