After having spent six years on the amateur circuit, flyweight Anna Crutchfield is ready to make her pro debut this weekend for B2 Fighting. Though Crutchfield gained a lot of experience during her time as an amateur, if things had gone the way she wanted, she would have turned pro right out of the gate. “Honestly I thought I would be professional fighter when I was 18 (following my first amateur fight) but my career has taken many different turns and twists,” Crutchfield told MMAWeekly.com. “It just got to the point where it was really hard to find opponents, so me and my manager and coaches talked about it and were like now is the time, let’s go.” During the course of her amateur career, Crutchfield feels like she made the necessary moves to ensure she could be successful at the pro level. “I feel like a completely different person than the first time I stepped into the cage,” said Crutchfield.
