We have a real-life Drop Bear in Lake Macquarie, and she is fighting fit. I congratulate Danielle "Drop Bear" Curtis from Rathmines on her latest international success, returning from Auckland with a third-round submission victory over an undefeated opponent from one of the world's top gyms. Danielle is a proud Hunter athlete and Australian martial artist fighting out of Alpha MMA. A GAMMA Featherweight World Champion, she has claimed multiple titles across bantamweight and flyweight divisions, establishing herself as one of the region's most exciting talents. From growing up in Hay to competing on the world stage, her journey has been defined by resilience, discipline and determination. Whether it's winning gold in Amsterdam or stepping up against higher-ranked opponents internationally, Danielle continues to prove herself at the highest levels. Since making her debut in 2017, she has progressed from amateur standout to rising professional, with her sights firmly set on the UFC. Danielle's message is simple: focus on improvement, embrace the process, and put in the work. Congratulations, Danielle you have done Lake Macquarie and the wider Hunter region proud.
