Crawford was in all black, draped by a fishing net on his shoulders and shorts that training partner Steven "So Cold" Nelson designed for him. He came into the arena hours prior with his coaches and team wearing grayish shirts that read "Even Big Fish Get Caught." It was Crawford’s 18th consecutive world title fight. His 40th in his pro career at 35 years old. He stood there, before the bell, as an overachiever; someone who believed those there to watch him brawl — both in the boxing media and audience — came to see him be pummeled. A fighter constantly belittled for being undersized, having a poor resume compared to some of his peers, or generally being the lighter, smaller act.

Hill flexed her Muay Thai skills at times, burying heavy knees into Ducote’s midsection and hitting elbows on the break, staying on top of the UFC sophomore every second of every round.

But what was expected to be a highly competitive, 50-50 matchup, turned into one of the finest performances fans had witnessed in recent years.
