Despite it being chilly outside, things just heated up in the lower mainland with the announcement of Ash Mashreghi vs. Curtis Harriott for the BFL welterweight championship in the Battlefield Fight League 41 main event.
Mashreghi (6-3) was expected to take on a former amateur champion in Leo Xavier at BFL 38, however a health scare prior to weigh-ins forced “Smash” out of the contest and ultimately out of action for next three and a half months. Since losing his first three pro outings, Mashreghi has gone on to win his next six in a row. Including a huge submission victory against Dejan Kajic to earn the BFL 170-pound title.
