Both Tyler VanTassel, of Knox, and Logan Fink, of Franklin, scored victories in the cage at the amateur event on Saturday, July 23, hosted by Bizzaro Promotions at Presque Isle Downs & Casino in Erie.
After a tough first round, Logan Fink came out victorious in the final second of the third round. With less than a second to go, the referee stepped in to stop the fight as Fink secured the armbar for the win against his opponent at 1:59 in the third round. This is the second win for Fink, who is now 2-0 in the cage. Both victories came via submission, his first in November of last year in Erie.
Fink told exploreVenango.com, “For me, fighting isn’t about proving anything to anyone except myself. It’s about pushing through uncomfortable boundaries to get to the win. It’s about the process of training and becoming mentally bulletproof before stepping into that cage.
“It releases energy and emotions I didn’t even know I had before starting this sport. Fighting feels natural to me, and I know it’s odd, but the chaos is where I find myself, and that’s when I’m having the most fun.”
