He legit flew across the country to confront someone over a comment

I don't even know what exatly you mean, and I can still fairly confidently say: no he didn't. Do you think he would do that for every comment like that? Obviously no, he flew across the country to confront someone, who was carefully vetted or maybe even hired for this exact purpose, over a comment that they made sure didn't too obviously make a good point

My hypothesis on Crowder since then is that he secretly wants to get into a fist fight so he can record it, be seen as the victim, be seen as strong (now he does BJJ), and make money.

you're not seeing the big picture, this mentality applies to the right in general, not necesseraly in particular. Or to make it more concise:
