Many believe legacy is forged in the records of history, revered in tales of battles gone by. But legacy isn’t just about the past; it’s birthed in the heartbeats of the now, moulded in the crucible of the present. Every submission attempt, every takedown defended, every drop of blood and sweat shed… that’s where legends and legacies are created.
We may not be able to rewrite history, but we can watch the legacy pass on to tomorrow's warriors.
COSTA VS EVERETT
Since making his way back to the MMA scene just 3 years ago, his intentions have been very clear… take out whoever is in his path. Now the Eternal MMA Bantamweight Champion, the Abu Dhabi Champ and 5x Australian national champion, Felipe Peña black belt that is Rodrigo Costa makes his long awaited BATTLEGROUND debut with one thing in mind… to put the rest of the grappling division in the country on notice.
Standing across from him… a man driven by the desire to not just be a part of the script, but to rewrite it. Hailing from the sporting capital of Australia the 2x Australian nationals champion and Melbourne's very own Tom Everrett makes the journey over to the west coast to echo an upset against home town favourites Costa.
With a black belt under the renowned Lachlan Giles, we can expect nothing less than fire works.
Will the narrative be shattered, or will it stand firm? At Battleground, the only certainty is the thrill of the unknown. And on Saturday September 23rd, the answers to these questions and many more will be revealed. ⏰
