BEFORE:
"It's definitely a big fight for both of us tonight,” Maddie Ziegler says first from the press table. The newest Doll on the roster is on fire, recently beating TikTok starlet Charlie D’Amelio and having one of the busiest fight schedules in recent memory with an impressive winning streak of 7 fights. Tonight, she takes on another big up-and-comer who also happens to be an old friend, with the delectable Millie Bobby Brown also finding herself on the same upwards trajectory since making her FCBA debut less than half a year ago.
“Millie and I used to be really good friends until about….4 years ago I guess….We kinda grew apart after that, as we both grew up. We don’t really talk anymore these days….she’s doing her own thing and I’m doing my thing, but we’ve always been VERY competitive even as friends. So, don’t expect us to go easy on each other just because we used to be friends as kids. Actually, expect the opposite. I certainly don’t plan to go easy on her tonight. A lot of people have mentioned to me how one of us is going to get her winning streak ended tonight, and all I can say is that it's not going to be me.” Maddie shakes her head with complete confidence. “I respect what Millie’s achieved so far, her results are pretty impressive. I know she's very good. But I think my results are more impressive, and I've fought tougher competition for sure...So I feel like I’m actually the favorite to win tonight." Maddie pauses and smiles, earning herself some shouts of approval from those in the audience in agreement. "Guess you could say I'm excited but confident. There’s a lot at stake and fighting a former friend is a new experience for me. It's going to be a battle for sure! But Millie’s going to get knocked out for the first time in her career by the end of it. Sorry not sorry!" Maddie smirks as she gives Millie a look from across the table, her words garnering loud cheers from the now even more hyped audience.
“Sorry not sorry?…Still got all that sass going I see, Maddie.” Millie chuckles in response. “I can promise you’ll be sorry by the end of the fight. After they wake you up and haul you off the sand, that is.” Millie fires right back, shooting her former friend her own brand of b*tch-stare from the other end of the table, which draws some “ooooh”s from the audience. “We did have some good times as friends but we were kids back then, and I wont bore you with the details of why and how we drifted apart, but we did, and honestly, beating the crap out of sassy Maddie sounds right up my alley these days. So yes, I too am excited, you could say.” Brown ends her monologue with another quick glance at her former friend before leaning back casually in her seat and crossing her arms.
Few minutes later and the ladies square off at the podium, both blondes looking eager to throw down on the spot. Maddie’s posing with her arms and fists raised, getting straight in Millie’s smug face with her knuckles almost making contact with the Brit’s chin and cheek. Bobby Brown goes for a both-hands-planted-on-her-hips type of approach, chin upturned and cocked, daring the Doll to make the first move.
The ring official gets in between early to force the separation, and it looks like both young ladies will have to settle their differences in the ring itself.
Hours later, and the Dollhouse’s “Mad Dog” Maddie Ziegler is first to make her entrance, stepping onto the beach clad in a sexy green bikini and a big smile, her blonde hair tied in a bun. The young dancing prodigy is a feast for the eyes in the hot sun, showing off her perfect toned body to the fans as she makes her way across the beach, followed by Electra and the Dollhouse team. She gives a wave to the fans in all direction before stepping into the sandy ring, where she puts on her business face and white boxing gloves and starts her pre-fight preparations in her corner.
Out next, Millie Bobby Brown makes a splash of her own as she leaps through the curtains and onto the sand with a wide smile and flourish. The Lookout! starlet is wearing a black bikini with red trim, complete with black gloves on either hand, her currently dirty blonde hair in a tight ponytail. Millie’s done equally well for herself ever since getting signed on her birthday month back in February, and is just might take the FCBA world by storm in the same way she conquered our small screens these last few years. The Lookout! starlet takes her time on her way to the ring, acknowledging and high fiving her many fans who showed up today to witness her biggest fight to date. A minute or two later, and Millie finally makes it into the sandy ring, exchanging a short glare with Ziegler from across the ring before starting her final preparations in the opposite corner.
A minute or so passes and the crowd can no longer contain their excitement! Referee calls this fight to order, and both young ladies are looking ready and bouncing in their respective corners. There’s the wave of the hand and HERE WE GO with ten rounds of Flyweight action!
ROUND 1:
It’s a must-win fight for both ladies, and we can’t wait to see how these former child-friends turned competitive hellcats duke it out, and so does the crowd, judging by the noise levels in the arena as the bell rings and the two ladies approach each other center-ring. Maddie Ziegler is moving into the pocket with great focus and purpose, seeing this fight as the most important test of her career thus far. She peppers Millie’s guard with jabs to begin, not willing to get in range of Bobby Brown’s superior firepower that has floored several hapless girls before. Millie intercepts most of the attacks directed at her head, but lets out several grunts as Maddie’s punches take an early toll on her mouth, then body, then back to the nose and lips, as Ziegler fights smart and smarter. Sound of the bell and it’s clear what Maddie’s strategy is going forward: she knows that taking any one of Millie’s return hooks might spell the death knell for her, and so she’s perfectly content with whittling away at Bobby’s defenses bit by bit. Maddie relies on her speed and agility to avoid those comeback blows, then pokes at Brown's nose to snap her head back on several occasions. Good start thus far for the new Doll, as her corner celebrates with a raised cheer when the bell rings. Ziegler takes the opening round wide.
ROUND 2:
Millie definitely has a power advantage, however, and she's not afraid to impose it. Bad first round doesn't dissuade the Lookout starlet, who marches in all the same and smashes several hands into Maddie's arms and body to kick things off. Maddie got a little complacent in the first minute, protecting her head but not thinking of her vulnerable midsection, and Millie gets in some licks of leather off the tummy and ribs. Maddie wincing, but quickly goes back to her bob-and-weave, slipping off to avoid another big hook from Bobby Brown. Rest of the round has both ladies in a mutual dance back and forth, with Maddie a little more tentative in her jabbing attacks and Millie swinging for the fences, but mostly missing. It has the intended effect at the bell, however, with the Stranger Things starlet having retaken lost ground.
ROUND 3:
Maddie's reluctant to get into an all-out brawling match with her counterpart, keeping her distance and poking at Millie from afar. Jabs land early in the first minute to keep Bobby Brown off her case, frustrating her efforts to get in close. Millie’s still trying, though, whacking away at her undercarriage whenever she can, then chasing her off with another swing at the head. She’s keeping things tight, both her arms close to her chest, and protecting herself a whole lot better than she did previously, intercepting the Doll’s punches with her forearms and then lunging back under the arms to the belly. Maddie, not used to her foes just keep coming and coming, takes another fist to the body and can’t help but grunt out loud. Bell rings soon after and Millie’s done enough to edge out her competition.
ROUND 4:
This fight continues, as Maddie keeps her distance and fires left-right jabs towards Millie’s head over and over again. The Lookout! starlet has a lot to prove as well, but it’s also part of her personality to just keep rushing in to try and overwhelm her foe. First minute sees no success, however, as Millie’s low swings to the body get blocked by Maddie’s lowered guard, and Millie is forced to stop in her tracks whenever Maddie blasts her right back with a cuffing hook across her face, or a straight hand driven into her nostrils. Not much damage suffered so far but it’s the little bits that add up, and the result is Millie’s a little more cautious by the end of the bell, and has to cede the round wide due to another failed foray inwards.
ROUND 5:
Millie this time stays at range, punching back whenever Maddie sends a flurry towards her head. Maddie’s getting shocked and rocked, her attacks met on the arms and taking more jabs to the face in turn. Millie is performing well, keeping her cool and then blasting at Maddie’s frame when the timing is just right. She’s taken loads of damage to her face thus far, with parts of her cheeks and chin turned pink and on the verge of bruising, but now is doing a better job of blocking Maddie’s combos to her face. Jabs sent both ways at various intervals of the round, with both ladies throwing caution to the wind and just going all out to mess each other up. Millie however comes out on top, rocking Maddie with a blast to her ribs, then another follow-up swing to the side of her head to send her floundering to the side. Round ends and Millie’s STILL coming on strong, chasing the Doll back to the ropes but unable to pin her down for long, before the bell finally rings.
ROUND 6:
Another clash of styles as Maddie stays back and avoids Millie’s power for the most part. Her lean and mean figure is what gives her the advantage here, and it works for the first minute, slipping left and right to avoid Millie’s fiery attacks, and then planting leather into her rival’s face from a distance. Maddie earns a brief victory when a rapid combo connects with Millie’s face, throwing her backwards several paces, but later gets caught by a low hook-high hook combo that catches her on her tummy and then the side of her head in quick succession, which dazes and stumbles her badly. Both girls are dishing out the pain in their respective ways, and neither is willing to back down till the bell. Red noses and pink tummies abound, as fighters start to feel the effects of going at six rounds of non-stop action!
ROUND 7:
So far, no knockdown, and both fighters are more or less even in terms of points. Millie finally takes a breather, hanging back and relying on her power swings to scare and shock Maddie out of her comfort space. Ziegler still takes the opportunity at several wade-ins, shooting her hands in to test and disrupt Millie’s defenses. Several punches do score off the British girl’s body and off the top of her head, which throw her backwards with grunts. Millie looks to be in trouble when she’s backed into the ropes and panics all of a sudden, fending off another flurry to the arms but Maddie then dipping low and plowing a right hand into her gut that spears her in half! Ouch!! Millie looks SHOCKED, her arms wavering and mouth hanging open! She takes another dinging crack across the mouth and goes into a tailspin, HITTING THE SAND by the ropes! And just like that, it’s a KNOCKDOWN for Maddie Ziegler!
Much deserved indeed, as the Dollhouse blonde parades around the periphery of the ring, one arm up and smiling confidently to the fans. She takes the downtime to rest against the turnbuckle in the neutral corner, and boy does she need it, her sweaty chest heaving as she wipes out some sweat off her brow, staring at her struggling opponent from afar and hoping this is enough to end the fight in her favor! Millie, however, is slowly pushing herself back up to her knees, then her feet, empowered by the low chant in the background of thousands of fans at her back. The Stranger Things starlet recovers by the count of 8 much to Ziegler’s frustration as the Doll flares her nostrils and prepares to continue her assault!
Sound of the bell to resume this round and there’s still a minute or so left on the clock! Maddie comes in hot once more, looking to finish things off! Millie turtles up on the ropes, absorbing more shots to her body and arms, but this time, her footwork is more fluid, and she easily escapes to the sides to avoid being pinned down. Maddie’s tiring by the third minute, huffing and swinging at Millie’s protected head in a last-ditch effort to bring her down, to no avail. Dollhouse girl takes this round wide, but one has to wonder: at what cost?
ROUND 8:
Slow first minute as both girls take a mutual breather. This is the next generation of young fighters, folks, and already, they’re pushing themselves into the last quarter of all ten rounds. Millie paws at Maddie’s head early, throwing a feint high before packing in a hook low into her side, further sapping the Doll of her energy. Maddie’s trying to get back into the groove of cover and counter, but her tiring legs and the soft sand underneath them making her generally excellent footwork not as effective and the older blonde finds herself getting hounded backwards instead by Millie’s constant aggression in the second minute. The Doll gets pushed back to the ropes in turn, groaning as she barely fends off another big hook to the arms, with Millie’s power throwing her off balance. AND HERE COMES BOBBY BROWN, looking to capitalize! Left and right SHOTS pummeling the dancer's body as the Brit manages to trap her counterpart against a corner and WAILS on her lean frame with thunderous blows! Maddie’s getting wrecked and tossed about for a couple of seconds, groaning and grunting, her face contorting in pain as she tries desperately to defend her body but immediately eats a HUGE stiff BOMB that catches her square on the temple! AND DOWN SHE GOES!! Millie’s savage hook connecting clean to SWIVEL HER on her feet and Maddie’s eyes roll into the back of her head as she CRUMPLES to the sand face-first with a loud THUMP! LIGHTS OUT ZIEGLER! IT’S OVER! SHE’S OUT! MADDIE’S OUT! The referee takes a quick look at the fallen dancer’s condition, but her closed eyes and motionless body leave him no choice but to wave the rest of the fight off! Maddie’s utterly laid out cold and unmoving on her stomach, her right cheek buried in the soft sand with her gum shield pushed halfway out of her mouth as a pool of drool forms under her open mouth. Ziegler is finished and that's all she wrote, folks!
Official Decision: Millie Bobby Brown defeats Maddie Ziegler via KO8!
AFTER:
The crowd going wild here with this HUGE win for Bobbie Brown as the Brit finishes her opponent in decisive fashion, delivering a beatdown that leaves Maddie Ziegler down and OUT for the first time in her young career!
Millie huffing and puffing as she raises both arms, spending a few seconds taking in the moment and the massive cheers from the fans. The Lookout! star then plants her foot on Maddie’s upper back, shifting her weight forward onto her foot and pressing down on Ziegler’s limp torso, pushing the poor Doll’s chest and face further down into the soft sand as she strikes a playful victory pose with her arms flexed, towering over her flattened former friend and smiling wide as camera flashes go off all around her. The 18 year old then steps away from her conquered foe, turning to the fans on all sides with her arms raised. Millie’s looking tired but jubilant, much like her team, who now rush into the ring to congratulate and celebrate their young protegee's 7th straight win - a win that means she remains undefeated in FCBA competition, pushing her record to a perfect 7-0.
The Dollhouse team, in stark contrast, are beside themselves after watching their new rising star suffering her first defeat in her short career under the Dollhouse banner. Nonetheless, the team is already rushing in to check on the unconscious blonde, with Carmen Electra herself also climbing into the ring shortly after, a despondent look on her face as she hovers above her fallen fighter, looking worryingly at the doctor’s attempts to wake the nonresponsive Maddie up.
Bobby Brown on her part appears disinterested in her former friend’s worrying condition - The Lookout! star gets her hand raised by the ref, smiling nonstop as she takes a celebration lap around the ring before finally stepping out of the ring, only shooting a quick glance towards Maddie as she climbs out through the ropes - The Doll’s team only managing to roll the poor sand-covered blonde unto her back thus far, which seems to amuse Millie more than anything as the Brit chuckles at the devastating results of her handiwork on her former old friend.
Millie positively ecstatic when a member of the press catches up with her by the crowd as she is high-fiving fans in the aftermath of her biggest win yet, just bubbly and beaming: "That's the first time Maddie and I have ever fought. Not counting pillow fights from when we were younger, but I hit MUCH harder than a pillow and I'm betting she is wishing she had one to lay down on right about now instead of me putting her fancy, dancy ass out on the hot sand. She talked a lot of trash about how she was the favorite and how she'd fought better competition than me. So, now, I guess the question is "So you think you can fight?" Make sure to ask her that when she wakes up from her widdle nap, mmmkay?" Millie sticks out her tongue playfully and then bounds off to celebrate on the beach, feet kicking up high up enough to reach her buns with enthusiasm.
Bobby Brown and her team are already long gone when Maddie Ziegler finally comes to minutes later. The proud blonde looking confused and woozy at first, but soon remembers where she is, at which point shocks seems to be taking over her. Getting knocked out and buried in sand is a completely new experience for this young fighter and surely not a pleasant one – Ziegler looking distraught when she realizes her predicament, her eyes welling up with tears as she’s being helped back to unsteady feet on the sand.
But Maddie’s a tough cookie who's been competing her entire life. She knows this is only a temporary bump in the road to a hopefully long successful FCBA career - the blonde asks her team to let her make it out of the ring by herself, wiping off the sand and tears from her face as she makes her way out of the ring on her own (albeit unsteady) feet to loud supportive cheers from the crowd and a hug from Dollhouse CEO Carmen Electra to boot. Her head might be hanging low right now, but Maddie is surely already thinking of the next time she’ll get in the ring with her former friend and even the score. Judging by how competitive these two young stars are, it shouldn’t be too long before Ziegler gets her chance for payback.
Will Maddie be able to quickly bounce back from today’s defeat and go on a new winning streak in the coming months? Will Millie continue her rampage across the division and remain undefeated all through 2022? Will Maddie be able to beat Millie when they finally clash again? One thing's for sure - These burning questions have us super excited for the future of these two young and talented starlets!
