Intro:
We are roughly at the halfway point of the Contender 6 tournament; this time we head to Liverpool's Echo Arena with a fight that could main event anywhere in the world, as Jenna Louise Coleman fights Diana Korkunova in surprisingly our opening bout.

In the tournament standings; both are equal third place with 1 win and 1 defeat so far, a loss her most likely ending their run to the title.

As throughout the tournament; the fighters were interviewed at their stables, with Jenna commenting on her lost in the last round of the tournament.
"I have had to go to hostile territory throughout this tournament, so it will be nice to go into a fight with fans supporting both of us and not just my opponent, though I won't take Tiffany beating me as the crowds fault, she beat me fair and square"
On this fight, she says "but Diana I hope knows I am not in the mood for her, I've got big plans for the year and I am slightly off course, a simple reminding of the order I feel is in need and Diana will learn not to mess with me"
She finishes with "my tournament future depends on this; so keep watch boys and girls because the real Jenna is coming out to play now"
While Diana looks understandably more chipper in her interview; saying "I'm so happy to have gotten my first win in this tournament and while I've heard Jenna is sore over her own defeat, I am ready to show the world who I am!"
Calming down slightly; Diana continues "I have to say though; I have big respect for Jenna, she is a former champion and I can say Hall of Famer, I can beat her though as physically, this fight is mine"
Ending with "I can't wait to fight in Liverpool and come one step closer to holding the BBU flyweight title after this tournament is over"
