Before:
The tournament favorite Kendall Jenner meets top lightweight Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in a match that will send a strong fighter home in only the second round. The two girls have fought once before, with Jenner taking the fight by knockout in the ninth round in November.

“I’ve been looking forward to our rematch,” Rosie tells the press. “Kendall beat me before. She beat Taylor. She beat Emily twice. When I beat Kendall tonight, I won’t be the Fates lightweight mentioned last.”

Jenner laughs, “Rosie thinks she has something on me? Her time was a decade ago. I’m the top model in the world now. I’ve held the lightweight title twice. She hasn’t held it at all. Tonight, I’m going to bury her.”

Rosie meets Kendall’s stare and the two models get into each other’s faces before being separated by the security team. Cameras flash as the two are pulled apart, but the action will have to wait.

Come time for the fight, Rosie is the first girl to make her way to the ring, the blonde removing her robe to reveal a gray sports bra and matching trunks with black gloves. Seconds later, Kendall makes her way out from the back and doesn’t take her eyes off of Rosie. The American removes her robe to reveal a white sports bra and matching trunks with red gloves. The two get right in the other’s face, and after the ref separates them, he calls for the bell.

Round 1:
Kendall works her jab early, taking advantage of her extra reach over the smaller Rosie. RHW keeps her guard up to limit the damage from Kendall, but Jenner is just too good, working around Huntington-Whiteley’s guard early and tagging the blonde with body blows. Rosie is quick on the clinch and forces the break from the referee, and quickly goes to Kendall’s body out of the break. Jenner takes two steps backwards and plants her feet, skipping a blow off of RHW’s ear as the Brit looks to do some damage. Kendall instantly drills the older model with a right and Rosie is forced to back off, keeping her guard up and staying on the defensive. The two girls start to circle each other, Kendall being the more aggressive as she goes back to that jab that has won her so many matches. The bell rings and the two go to their corners, with Jenner taking the first round on points, wide.

Round 2:
Jenner looks to continue her assault from range as she goes back to her jab, but this time Huntington-Whiteley is ready for it and stays out of the younger model’s range. Kendall steps forward and sticks Rosie with a left that makes it through the blonde’s gloves, but Kendall’s head snaps backwards as Rosie returns fire with a right straight to Kendall’s nose. The American blocks the British girl’s follow up, but Rosie instantly shifts her focus to Kendall’s body, working over the Girls Friday stable member’s body from close range. Huntington-Whiteley forces Jenner back into the ropes as she robs the younger model of her reach advantage, forcing the taller girl to clinch and stop the blows. Out of the break, Kendall gets her jab working again and keeps Rosie at a distance to the round. RHW evens the fight up after two rounds on points.

Round 3:
Rosie keeps up her strategy of keeping Kendall at a close range and working over the younger model’s body. Jenner backtracks around the ring before planting her feet and shooting out a one-two combo at Huntington-Whiteley. The first blow misses but the second drills the Brit right in her mouth, stopping the blonde in her tracks. Kendall clobbers Rosie with a right hook to her jaw and the blonde nearly goes down! Huntington-Whiteley stays up and covers up, blocking Jenner’s blows at her head, but the American instantly goes to the Brit’s body, hammering her into the ropes. RHW quickly clinches to force a break, and keeps her distance from Kendall once the ref lets the two continue fighting. Jenner continues to throw blows at Huntington-Whiteley, finding a pair of rights into the older model’s ribs before the bell. Jenner takes the third round on points, wide.

Round 4:
Huntington-Whiteley charges out of her corner, intent on keeping the brunette at close range. Jenner counterpunches RHW’s first strike and lands a right to her mouth, knocking the Brit backwards. The American steps forwards – and gets rocked by a lightning quick right from Rosie! Huntington-Whiteley follows up with three straight blows into Jenner’s torso and now Jenner is on her heels. Rosie plows leather into Kendall’s torso before connecting with an uppercut that drops Kendall to all fours! It’s a surprise knockdown for Rosie as tournament favorite Kendall is struggling against the blonde. The ref starts to count as Kendall gets to her knees before pushing herself up at the count of seven, a fire in her eyes as she and Rosie start to circle. Huntington-Whiteley is determined to finish off her foe, but Jenner has her jab working. She smashes a right into Rosie’s mouth and the bell rings before she can take advantage. The first knockout goes Rosie’s way as the blonde takes the round on points, wide.

Round 5:
The Fates and Girls Friday corners are different between the rounds, with the Fates corner sensing a moment for Rosie to knock out one of the tournament favorites while the Girls Friday staff tells Kendall to get her head back in the fight. RHW is out of her corner in a flash – and Jenner drills her with a right that stuns the Brit! Kendall was waiting on Rosie’s aggression and here comes Kendall! Jenner shocks Huntington-Whiteley back to reality with a right and pounds two lefts into the blonde’s chest. Rosie swings wildly back with a right but Kendall easily ducks the blow and sends the blonde crashing to the canvas with a left hook! Jenner answers the call and now it’s Huntington-Whiteley who’s struggling on the canvas, slowly pushing herself up. The Brit beats the count and keeps her distance from the American, counterpunching as she is able to and staying up to the bell. Two knockdowns in consecutive rounds as this is shaping up to be one of the tougher fights in the tournament so far.

Round 6:
Jenner like a shot out of a cannon to start the round. Huntington-Whiteley gets a glove to her foe’s face, but that’s all she gets as Jenner smashes a right into Rosie’s mouth, drawing blood. The blonde staggers backwards and on comes the brunette! Kendall determined to finish off the fight as she pounds Rosie’s body into the ropes, and the ref’s watching closely! Huntington-Whiteley keeps her guard up and digs in the occasional blow to Jenner’s flank before she is able to clinch to get a break. Jenner goes right back after RHW, churning rights and lefts into the older model’s toned body and drawing a groan out of the blonde. The ref still is watching closely as Rosie clips Kendall’s chin with a left that does just enough to force the younger model to back away. The bell rings and Huntington-Whiteley survives the round as Jenner gets the points via shutout.

Round 7:
Jenner hopes the third time is the charm for rounds in which she looks to finish off Huntington-Whiteley. Kendall steps out of her corner and methodically coaxes Rosie into the ropes, teeing her up for a big right – but nobody’s home! Rosie steps out of the way at the last moment and crushes a right into the model’s chin that leaves her wobbly! Jenner retreating now as RHW pounces, drilling hard rights and lefts into Kendall’s body from close range and forcing the American to clinch. The referee separates the two but once the action resumes, Rosie goes right back to drilling Kendall’s body. Jenner doing a better job of getting breaks and the occasional blow back to Huntington-Whiteley’s body, but the blonde has hammered Kendall into the ropes as time expires in the round. This time it’s Rosie who wins the round by shutout, and this is a back and forth fight that one may have expected for the finals.

Round 8:
Huntington-Whiteley quickly steps out of her corner and feints left only to tag Jenner with a right early, causing the brunette to retreat. Rosie steps forward, shooting out a right that Kendall sidesteps and hammers the blonde with a haymaker to the jaw! Huntington-Whiteley is unsteady as Jenner pounces and delivers one, two, three straight blows to the blonde’s head and down goes Rosie! Jenner with her second knockdown of the fight and RHW lifts her head up to see the ref counting. The older model scrambles to her feet to beat the count, a look of defiance in her eyes as she stares down the taller model.

The referee checks in on her before waving in Jenner and Kendall goes in to finish off Rosie, pounding blows into the blonde’s ribs. Rosie is quick on the clinch to force a break, and the referee separates the two. Huntington-Whiteley retreats around the ring, occasionally counter-punching but trying to stay away from Jenner. Kendall fakes a right – and gets rocked by a left from Rosie as the blonde plants her feet! Jenner stunned as she instinctively backpedals as on comes Rosie! Huntington-Whiteley buries leather into Jenner’s torso and draws out a gasp from the tournament favorite. Jenner has her guard up to protect her head as RHW goes body, pounding the younger girl’s toned midriff. Kendall’s guard drops briefly – and that’s all Rosie needs to crush a right-left hook combo into Kendall’s jaw and down goes Jenner! Huntington-Whiteley answers Jenner’s knockdown immediately and the ref starts to count. Jenner’s moving her limbs around on the canvas as she struggles to get to all fours. The ref’s at six and Kendall barely has her arms underneath her. Seven. Jenner pulls one knee up. Eight. She gets the other knee under her – and falls over sideways at nine. The ref reaches ten and your winner by KO8, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley!

After:
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley eliminates the tournament favorite Kendall Jenner in only the second round of competition in what has to be considered an upset, despite Rosie’s status as a good fighter. The blonde is running around the ring with joy as she gets her revenge on Jenner from last year and mounts the ringpost with a statement victory. Kendall is helped to her stool and is helped out while Rosie’s celebration goes on minutes later.

“I’ve heard all this talk about how Fates is a three-fighter stable: Taylor Swift, Emily DiDonato, and Elizabeth Olsen.” Huntington-Whiteley tells the press afterwards, “I beat Emily. I will get my revenge on Taylor. But right now, I am going to win this tournament so people take me seriously. I just took out the tournament favorite, and I am not done.”

Jenner meanwhile declines to speak to the press, losing her second match in a row after losing the lightweight title to Mary Elizabeth Winstead last month. The future hall of famer will undoubtedly bounce back, but the question now is how far can Rosie go now that she’s eliminated the top fighter in the tournament?
