This is what a momentum shift looks like. One well executed technique that puts a stamp on a round and turns a pedestrian 10-9 round into a fight ending sequence. This is where little waves make a tsunami, and where frustration and fatigue collaborate to sabotage someone's best efforts. This is where one fighter recognizes that all her whiffed punches and stubborn advances and incessant aggression have been teaching her opponent her habits and her range and her timing. This is where she figures all of that out a moment too late to stop it, a moment where a kick detonates on her face and knocks all the sense out of her. This is what practicing a kick 10,000 times produces.

This is where her opponent turns up the heat and cooks her in front of a cheering audience. Where she puts to bed any notion of an upset and turns her disastrous first round into an embarrassing but harmless memory, one that is overshadowed by her explosive dominance here. This is another chapter of an intercollegiate rivalry. This is violent. This is exciting. This is the beginning of the end of an MMA contest. This is profound and philosophical and sweaty and painful.

This is where Lizzy Field kicks Jet Pope in the mouth midway through the 2nd round of their NCAA Collegiate Combat Challenge MMA match.
