When Eternal 95 hits Logan City on May 3, the spotlight will fall on two of Australia’s most exciting welterweight prospects — and the future of the division could change in an instant.
 
In the co-main event, Nate Law steps into the cage not just as a hometown fighter, but as Logan City’s newly adopted fighting son. Trained under the watchful eyes of Eternal legends — former middleweight champion Ben Johnston and reigning champion Darcy Vendy — Law carries the weight of expectation and the fire to match it. With a perfect 3–0 professional record, all finishes, he’s built a reputation for violent precision, pairing sharp kickboxing with brutal ground-and-pound.

But standing across from him is a man ready to make his own mark.
 
Sam Marles, representing Absolute MMA, grew up immersed in sport — playing golf, football, athletics, and tennis — before making the full-time switch to mixed martial arts in 2020. Since then, he’s carved out a strong professional record of 2–1, showcasing a style that blends crisp Muaythai striking with relentless grappling pressure.
 
This Saturday is a defining one for the Marles family, with father and son facing major battles in separate states. As Sam laces up his gloves for a career-shaping fight in Logan City, his father, Richard Marles — a Federal Member for Corio near Geelong — will also be on the frontlines of a crucial federal election. A strong voice for the Geelong region, Richard Marles is no stranger to the rough and tumble of hard-fought contests — a spirit that perhaps finds its reflection in the gritty, come-forward style Sam brings into the Eternal cage.

This is more than a clash of styles. It’s a fight to stake a claim as one of Eternal MMA’s true welterweight threats. Law’s long-range weapons and finishing instincts meet Marles’ calculated pressure and experience in a matchup built for fireworks. Both fighters understand what Eternal MMA represents — Australia’s premier proving ground where reputations are made, and futures are built.
 
For Nate Law, this fight is a chance to prove he belongs among the future champions of Eternal MMA — a pressure he welcomes as Logan City’s fighting son.

For Sam Marles, it’s the opportunity to turn years of sacrifice into a statement, and show that his journey from the sporting fields to the Eternal cage was always destined for greatness.
 
Both men have bet on themselves to get here. On May 3, only one will take the next step forward. Book tickets to Eternal 95: Logan City today.
