Crowe is sitting in guard, working some ground and pound.
Crowe stands up over Feitsora, holding on to his feet. Crowe throws the legs to one side and dives in with a huge shot that lands flush on the chin! Feitsora is out cold! Crowe lands a couple more shots and the ref tackles him out of the way! What a brutal finish!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:44 of round 4, we have a winner by way of KO (Strikes). Stanton Crowe!
Stanton Crowe is the new light heavyweight champion!
Stanton Crowe decided to hype himself up post fight. It was going well but he went on about it a bit too long and the crowd turned on him a little.
