Before:
A rubber match at bantamweight between two of the top fighters in the division. Ratajkowski took the first match between the two in 2019. Olsen won the second in 2020. Tonight the two girls meet to decide the better fighter. This year, the two girls are a combined 22-5, and a victory tonight would nearly guarantee a bantamweight title opportunity.
“Elizabeth had a great run in 2020 and 2021,” Emily says, “But she won’t beat me twice in a row. Fates did a good job of bringing her back into the spotlight, but she will not get any further. She just can not finish the job when it counts.”
Olsen shakes her head, “I respect what Emily does in the ring, but I have something to prove. I am not going to give up on my chance for a title. I will come out of this fight tonight as the winner. It is my time now.”
