If you just look at the stats, this looks like a typical fight with an expected result. But it was kinda weird. They came out, somehow ended up on the ground with Cro Cop, not Ortiz, doing massive ground damage. Then they stood up, Cro Cop hit a FAST 12-punch combo (in about 20 seconds), and Tito was pretty much done. He got a few more strikes in, basically just to set up the kick, then finished it with the lone kick KO.
