Mitch Strazzella is a popular fighter on the Vancouver scene. He fights out of Vancouver Island, but splits his time between the island and mainland for fight camps.

Mitch was 2-0-0-1 professional fighter coming off a tough no contest bout against Austin Russell at Battle Field Fight League (BFL) 75.

Mitch had his chance at retribution though when he faced off against Ali Wasuk, a 5-2 MMA fighter with legitimate submission, and knockout capabilities.

The two met in the octagon March 30th at BFL 76 in an all out war. Round one was very close with both men having their moments. Round two saw Ali Wasuk lock up a tight triangle though and tap out Mitch to win the fight.

Local fans were disappointed to see fan favourite Mitch lose, but it was a very entertaining fight and both fighters should be proud of their performance.
