With the first fight out of the way, the next two fighters were brought in with little in the way of a segue. First, Brande Roderick, noteworthy for making ten appearances in the ring without a win before knocking out another underperforming playmate in 2009 and promptly vanishing from the ring. Nikki Ziering, her opponent, was slightly more accomplished, with two wins in six tries, with her last bout in the previous year seeing her last until the fourth round against Punchaholics Anonymous fighter Christina Hendricks. Both fighters opted for simplicity; Brande Roderick wore a pink bikini, while Nikki Ziering had chosen to wear gold. Once the cage was locked behind them, McGowan managed to keep the peace as both playmates shouted insults at each other from opposite ends of the ring, occasionally managing to be heard over the crowd. 

Round 1 

The opening saw Ziering perform well above expectations against Roderick, who seemed shocked to see her unfavored opponent's fists slipping through her guard each instant before the impact. While no one present had assembled a sizable group of fans at the event, the general idea of an exciting upset was enough to generate some chanting in Ziering's favor. This was possibly the extra motivation that Roderick needed, as the shorter playmate rallied for a period of successful offense near the mid point. This ended abruptly when one of Ziering's replies struck Roderick head on, causing her to back off. Momentum cancelled, Roderick played defense until time ran out. 

Round 2 

Once again Ziering started out strong, encouraged by her newly drafted fans, and again Roderick bravely faced her down. This time, Roderick was much more effective, and under increased pressure, Ziering began to fall apart. The taller playmate was not prepared to quit or back down so early, and fought back desperately, making Roderick pay for her win, but in no way pulling ahead or regaining control. On points, the second round was close, but Roderick was far ahead on damage inflicted. 

Round 3 

Ziering showed signs early that her suffering in the previous round was hampering her performance, while Roderick entered the third round looking relatively fresh. Reduced to hiding ineffectively and throwing the occasional counter, Ziering endured and parried plenty of Roderick's swings as her rival blonde playmate went on a rampage and overwhelmed her with sheer volume of effort. Ziering, more or less running headfirst into a pretty blonde brick wall, was blocking and responding to little effect at the end of the round, as Roderick was able to slam her fists into her face without any need for complex strategy. 

Round 4 

Roderick moved to end the fight immediately after the round began, only to encounter surprising resistance from Ziering as the taller playmate pushed her back. However, once Roderick was able to get into her quantity over quality groove again, there was little Ziering could do to slow her down. The playmate clung to consciousness as best she could, but even at the halfway mark it was clear that she would not reach the end of the round. Soon, Ziering was weakened to the point that even Roderick's most inept swings were forcefully knocking her head from side to side. Slowly tipping backwards, Ziering's limbs bounced at the moment of impact with the mat, leaving her flat on her back, gloved hands resting beside her head. The defeated playmate could only twitch a limb weakly as she stared wide eyed at the ceiling, as if she could not believe the result. The count passed Ziering by long before she could even raise her head. 

Roderick completed her victory lap with McGowan on her arm before Ziering could recover. Roughly when the defeated playmate managed to sit upright, holding a hand over her face, the winner approached, roughly grabbing her and lifting her up into a headlock. Looking amused, Roderick addressed the microphone wielding host, with her prize squirming in her arms. "I think she showed up, saw how much hotter I am, and just gave up and let me beat her face in. There's no way she actually tried, that was too easy!" Ziering, objecting, began to flail her arms around in an attempt to get upright, causing Roderick to frown and tighten her grip. Ziering squealed and allowed her body to sag, staring at the floor in helpless embarrassment. "Anyway, I beat this loser a lot harder than Christina did, so maybe it's time for me to show her a thing or two personally?" Roderick made her exit with Ziering in tow, managing to keep her beaten rival under control with a hand free to wave to her newly acquired fans.
