For most of her life, Kristina Williams has worked with horses. Dressage, eventing, hunter and jumper competitions, just to name a few. That certainly does not seem like a logical path toward mixed martial arts, but perhaps there is something to be said for the ability to command a 1,200-pound animal as a transferable cage skill. Williams certainly made a case for it last Friday, when she battered Heather Hardy en route to a technical knockout at Bellator 185.
It was a result that few saw coming, although they could hardly be blamed.
