BEFORE:

The Marina Bay Sands ballroom buzzes with excitement as journalists and fans gather for the BBU's next press conference. The room, a stark contrast to the gritty gyms these fighters call home, is adorned with banners promoting the stable war and the upcoming match between Diana Korkunova and Maria Domark.

Diana, the seasoned Siren, exudes an icy confidence as she enters. Dressed in a tailored black suit that accentuates her lean figure, she moves with the grace of a sleek panther, her long, dark hair pulled back in a tight ponytail, highlighting her chiseled features and piercing blue eyes.

Maria, the newcomer, follows, her presence a whirlwind of nervous energy. Her outfit, a bright yellow sundress that contrasts sharply, hints at her cheerful personality. But beneath the bubbly exterior, a steely determination burns in her eyes.

“Diana, you've had a stellar career so far in the BBU. What are your expectations for this fight?"

Diana's lips curl into a confident smirk. "I expect a quick, decisive victory," she replies, her voice cool and measured. "Maria's a newcomer, with little to no experience in the ring. She might be a pretty face, but she's about to learn that looks don't win fights."

Maria's smile tightens, a hint of anger flashing in her eyes. "Don't underestimate me, Diana," she retorts, her voice surprisingly strong. "I might not have your experience in the ring, but I've faced challenges you can't even imagine. And I'm not afraid to fight dirty if that's what it takes to win."

"Maria, you mentioned facing challenges outside the ring. Can you elaborate on that?"

Maria takes a deep breath, her gaze unwavering. "I served in the military," she says, her voice filled with quiet pride. "I've seen things, done things, that most people can only dream of. And I'm not afraid to use that experience in the ring."

Diana scoffs, her eyes flashing with contempt. "Military training? This isn't a war zone. This is the BBU. It's about skill, technique, and years of dedication. And in those departments, you're sorely lacking."

The MC, sensing the potential for a verbal brawl, tries to intervene. "Ladies, ladies," he interjects, "let's keep it focused on the fight, shall we?"

But the damage is done. The seeds of a bitter rivalry have been sown, and the fight, it seems, has already begun.

Later, the atmosphere crackles with anticipation as the lights dim over the BBU Arena. A spotlight pierces the darkness, revealing the entrance ramp where a figure emerges, her silhouette bathed in a cool blue hue. It's Diana, the Russian powerhouse, her stride confident and purposeful as she makes her way towards the ring. The crowd roars, a mix of cheers and jeers that echo through the arena.

Across the ring, the spotlight shifts, revealing a new challenger: Maria, a vision in white, her blonde hair pulled into a high ponytail. Her sports bra and shorts, simple yet elegant, hug her curves, hinting at the hidden strength beneath her model-esque exterior. She steps into the ring with a cautious grace, her eyes scanning the crowd with a hint of nervousness.

Domark, the underdog, with a single loss to her name, is a mystery to most of the crowd. But those who have followed her career know that beneath her model exterior lies a fighter with a military background, a woman who knows what it means to face adversity.

Let’s get started! HERE WE GO with ten rounds of Bantamweight action!

ROUND 1:

The bell rings, and Diana, the favorite, steps forward with her usual confidence, her eyes locked on Maria. The two fighters circle each other, but Diana throws the first punch, a quick jab aimed at the face. But Maria’s been working hard in the gym, and she deftly dodges, her military training evident in her precise movements. Diana presses forward, launching a series of aggressive strikes. But Maria remains calm, her defense solid, taking the shots on her arms. And then, in a stunning turn of events, Maria sees an opening, and STRIKES! She delivers a powerful right hook that’s aimed straight at the jaw, and Diana doesn’t see it coming! The impact is immediate and dramatic. The punch lands with a CRACK, and Diana's eyes widen in shock as she stumbles backward, losing her balance! Could this be?! The crowd gasps collectively as the former Flyweight champ HITS the canvas, a look of surprise and embarrassment on her face! It’s an early KNOCKDOWN for the underdog fighter!

The referee starts the count. "One... two... three..." Diana shakes her head, trying to clear the cobwebs, her cheeks flushing with a mixture of anger and embarrassment.

"Four... five... six..." Domark meanwhile is full and sure of herself, strutting to the neutral corner with a BIG smile on her face! At the count of 7, Diana finally pushes herself up and raises her gloves, signaling to the referee that she's ready to continue.

But it's clear that Maria's punch has rattled her. The crowd erupts again, half in shock and half in excitement. Maria stands in her corner, her expression a mix of surprise and satisfaction, knowing she has just made a significant statement in the first round. Diana, though back on her feet, looks shaken as the round resumes, her aggressive facade momentarily cracked by Maria's unexpected power, and the rest of the round sees her move more cautious, reassessing her opponent with a newfound respect, while Maria continues to showcase her defensive prowess, confidently holding her own against the seasoned fighter. When the bell rings, signaling the end of the round, Diana’s corner quickly attends to her, wiping sweat from her brow and offering urgent advice. Her eyes flicker with a mix of irritation and determination, clearly rattled by Maria’s strong start. Maria, on the other hand, receives enthusiastic encouragement from her corner. Her military training evident in her disciplined breathing and focused demeanor, she listens intently to her trainers, nodding in agreement. As the fighters prepare for the second round, their fans buzz with excitement, having witnessed a dramatic start indeed!

ROUND 2:

Here’s the second, and Diana charges out of her corner with renewed vigor! Her eyes, now steely and focused, lock onto Maria’s, determined to even the score after the shocking knockdown in the first round. The Siren begins with a barrage of jabs, her fists flying towards her head with precision. Maria, still riding high from her early success, defends well, her guard tight. But Diana uses feints to disrupt her defenses, drawing Maria's guard up, then quickly shifts her attack low, slamming a powerful right hook into the ribs. The thud of the impact is audible, and Maria grimaces, the force of the blow resonating through her body. Sensing vulnerability, Diana presses her advantage. She steps in close, using her superior experience to dictate the pace. Another series of body shots follows, each punch delivered with crushing force. Maria’s eyes widen, trying to tighten her abs as she absorbs the punishment, her face contorting with each blow. Another left hook digs into her side, followed swiftly by a right uppercut crunching into her solar plexus, causing Maria to gasp for air. The crowd roars, sensing the momentum shift. The former champ’s aggression is paying off, her assault driving Maria backwards.

Maria tries to create distance, but Diana is relentless, cutting off the ring and keeping the pressure on. She hammers a series of hooks into the sides of her ribs, the brunette's fists moving like pistons. And soon, her defenses begin to falter under the sustained assault, her breaths coming in ragged gasps. Desperation flickers in Maria’s eyes as she tries to mount a counterattack. She throws a quick jab, followed by a straight right, but Diana deftly slips both punches, countering with a brutal left hook to the body that doubles Maria over further, stumbling back, wondering what the hell she’s gotten herself into. This latest impact is severe, and Maria's knees buckle slightly as she struggles to maintain her footing. Finally though, the bell rings, saving Domark for another round. This time, the crowd erupts in applause, appreciating Diana's fierce comeback. Diana strides back to her corner, her expression a mix of satisfaction and determination. She has evened the score and shown Maria that she won't be underestimated. Maria, clutching her midsection, walks gingerly to her corner, clearly hurt but still in the fight. Her corner works frantically to revive her, offering words of encouragement and advice.

ROUND 3:

Maria, having regained some composure, comes out with renewed energy. Her eyes are focused, and she moves with a purposeful determination. Diana, confident after her dominant second round, steps forward, ready to continue her assault. The blonde initiates the action with a sharp jab to the nose, followed by a quick right hook to the body. Domark’s got some speed of her own, striking out like a viper when she wants to. Diana grunts, feeling the sting of each punch. This time, the Israeli presses in and unleashes her own series of body shots, mirroring the punishment she received in the previous round. Her fists repeatedly spank off Diana’s ribs and abdomen, each punch drawing a slight wince from the brunette. Korkunova’s not idle, of course, trying to force her back with sudden swings and overhangs to the head. But Domark ducks under a flimsy right cross and then counters with a left uppercut that lands on the middle of Diana’s tummy, forcing a gurgle of shock from the Siren’s lips. Diana has no choice but to back away as more hooks and uppercuts bang into her frame, her earlier confidence starting to waver.

Despite the onslaught, Diana’s experience keeps her in the fight. She absorbs the punishment and waits for her moment. Maria, perhaps overconfident, leaves herself open for a split second. Suddenly, a flurry of her own flies back, catching Maria off guard with a tight hook slammed into her jaw, followed by a left cross that snaps her head back. The crowd gasps as Maria stumbles, clearly stunned by the sudden attack. There’s FURY in Korkunova’s eyes as she grits her teeth and tries to salvage the round, rocking Domark to the arms and body with last minute lunges, intent on driving her back towards the ropes as well. Maria’s eyes glaze over as she struggles to stay upright, her legs wobbling -- she knows she just needs to survive the final minute to win out on points. And with seconds left in the round, Diana lands a devastating right hook to her temple, causing her to reel. But just as she moves in to deliver the finishing blow, the bell rings, and the referee quickly steps in, guiding a dazed Maria back to her corner! Diana, breathing heavily, returns to her corner with a determined expression, knowing she had Maria on the ropes there, while Maria, supported by her trainers, sits on the stool, her face showing the effects of the brutal round but her spirit unbroken. It’s still anyone’s game, here!

ROUND 4:

Diana, sensing that victory is within her grasp, charges out of her corner with ferocious intent. Maria, still shaken from the previous round, adopts a defensive posture, her guard high and her eyes focused. Diana wastes no time! She throws a quick jab, followed by a powerful right hook that crashes into Maria's guard, the force sending her staggering once more. Her punches keep coming in relentless waves: a left hook slips through the blonde’s defenses, and connects solidly with her jaw, snapping the Israeli’s head to the side, and making her legs buckle. Not looking too hot for Domark here, whose back is still to the ropes as she struggles to defend herself… Sensing the end, with a ruthless glint in her eye, Diana finally steps in and unleashes a vicious uppercut aimed at the chin -- KAPOW! The impact is immediate and devastating. Maria’s head gets jolted upwards, and her eyes instantly roll back as she CRUMPLES to the canvas, her arms and legs twisting in the air and not doing anything to support her fall! It’s a brutal KNOCKDOWN for Diana Korkunova, and there’s NO need for the ref’s count, with Domark lying sprawled out by the ropes and OUT COLD! This fight’s OV--

BUT NO! Maria’s pushing herself up, her arms trembling as she gets to her knees. Her eyes are completely shut and her breathing labored, but the referee has no choice but to start her count! With sheer willpower, the blonde fighter forces herself to her feet by the skin-of-teeth count of nine, her legs unsteady but her spirit unbroken. She raises her gloves, signaling to the referee that she can continue.

Diana’s eyes glitter with a mix of respect and disdain. She sees her opponent's vulnerability, and wastes no time when the bell rings again. There’s two minutes left on the clock, and she wants to make a statement. Her fists come flying in without hesitation, bashing away at the arms to break her guard, and Maria, bless her heart, tries to defend. A series of hooks and crosses continue to pummel her body, each punch driving her butt further into the ropes. A left hook to the side, followed by a right cross that slams into her cheek. Trapped against the ropes, Maria can only cover up, her arms raised in a desperate attempt to block. Sweat flies off her face with each impact, her body sagging as leather gloves dig into her paunch, folding her body over more and more, with the ropes the only thing keeping her upright. Diana’s putting in her power, another thunderous right hook crashing into Maria’s temple, causing her to sag even further and spin halfway to the side, before a final, devastating uppercut snaps her head back, her body going limp as she slides down the ropes! Come on, ref, do your damn job! Just before Diana pulls back for another punch, HE JUMPS IN, waving his arms to signal it’s OVER!

AFTER:

Diana, still glowing from her victory, steps up to the microphone first. Her face is bruised but radiant, a triumphant smile playing on her lips. She takes a moment to catch her breath, then addresses the gathered press.

“First off, I want to thank everyone who came out to support us tonight,” Diana begins, her voice strong and clear. “This was an important fight for me. I needed to show everyone, especially Michelle Keegan, that I’m ready for another title shot. Maria is a tough opponent, and she gave me a real challenge out there.”

She pauses, glancing over at Maria, who is standing nearby. “Maria fought with a lot of heart, and I respect that. She’s got a bright future ahead of her. But tonight was my night. I came here to make a statement, and I think I did that. Michelle, I hope you’re watching because you’re only keeping that belt warm for me.”

The reporters erupt with questions, but Diana raises a hand, signaling that she has more to say. “I want to thank my team for all their hard work and support. We’ve been training hard, and it’s paid off. I’m feeling stronger and more focused than ever. And to the fans, thank you for your incredible support. You’re the reason we do this.”

With that, Diana steps back, allowing Maria to take the spotlight. Maria’s face is marked by the battle, but her expression is one of determination and resolve. She approaches the microphone with a steady gait, a testament to her resilience.

“First, I want to congratulate Diana on her victory,” Maria begins, her voice steady despite the obvious fatigue. “She’s a great fighter, and she deserved to win tonight. I knew going into this fight that it would be tough. Diana’s experience and skill are undeniable.”

Maria takes a deep breath, her eyes scanning the room. “I came here to prove myself, and while I didn’t get the win, I learned a lot. This was only my second fight, and I’m proud of how I handled myself. I’m going to take this experience, learn from it, and come back stronger.”

The press continues to clamor for more questions, but Maria and Diana, both visibly exhausted, exchange a respectful nod before leaving the podium. The fight has ended, but the journey for both fighters continues, each driven by their own goals and the promise of future battles.
