Mitrione displayed improved footwork early on and utilized his jab; his time spent under the tutelage of Duke Roufus was apparent. Hague attempted a few takedowns, but they were defended well by the former football player. Mitrione dropped Hague with a straight left halfway into the round and subsequent punches forced a referee stoppage.
For this fight, I wanted to emulate Dominick Cruz, said Mitrione after the fight. I wanted to be the 265-pound Dominick Cruz. I love the way you fight brother, you’re elusive, and I wanted to be just like that.
