“Why did I select Indira Weis as my opponent? Well, La Grande Malika only fights worthy opponents,” says the former BBU Lightweight Champion. “Indira is undefeated in BBU action, one of those she knocked out was my stablemate Chantelle Houghton, and she is considered a leader of the Black Eagles. She is quite suited for me to start against in 2018.”

“I will admit this is a difficult fight for me,” says Indira Weis, but the actress/singer seems in a positive mood as she discusses the bout. “However it offers me a chance to prove I can defeat even a former champion. I don’t say it will be easy, but she can be defeated.”

AFTER:
“She thought she had gotten the better of me in R3,” says a gloating Malika Menard, "but I showed her how wrong she was. I beat her badly R4. It was a foolish thing for her to come out in R5, but I was merciful and finished her off quickly.”

“She was just too much for me,” Indira Weis later tells the press. “I did do some damage in R3, but she came back and just beat me down. No, I am not sorry I didn’t quit on my stool. That would have been too cowardly. I much prefer to go out on my shield and I did.”

Looks like Malika Menard has gotten her 2018 campaign off to a good start with this win.
Painful loss for Indira Weis, but being defeated by an elite lightweight like Malika is no disgrace.
No doubt she will do better against someone not quite so elite in her next contest.
