FEATHERWEIGHT mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter Chris Power extended his unbeaten streak to 6-0 with a dominant unanimous points decision win at Eternal MMA\u2019s 100th show on Friday 14 November. <\/p>\n
This latest win comes after claiming the Grow Strong Fight Series featherweight title in Warwick, Queensland with a first-round submission on 18 October.<\/p>\n
Twenty-six-year-old Chris trains at Coffs Combat Academy under coach Shane Cassidy.<\/p>\n
He is currently the 9th ranked amateur featherweight in Australia (yet to be updated after winning Eternal).<\/p>\n
\u201cChris had to cut weight twice within four weeks for the last two fights which is an achievement in itself,\u201d Cassidy told News Of The Area.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe won the Grow Strong title and took no damage, and then got offered the Eternal fight with only a three-week lead time, which in terms of fight preparation is not a lot.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut he didn\u2019t lose a round.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis skills, and strength and conditioning never let him down because his work ethic and commitment to training is unwavering.\u201d<\/p>\n
Power is a black belt in taekwondo and a brown belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and has been training in martial arts since the age of eight.<\/p>\n
