After:
That's a big win for Team USA and Scarlett; who raises her arms in the air and shouts "come on!" As she gets the team on the right foot from the off and surprisingly it's her first win in 2 years!
Virginia applauds her as she steps into the ring; Scarlett thanking her for the training as they smile widely knowing how big this win is.
While Emily is wakened up by the ringside doctor, she blinks several times to clear her head as she is helped to sit up.
Understandably Emily is upset as she looks at Scarlett with a tear running down her left eye as she tries to hold it together, another big fight she has lost after such an amazing run last year she had.
It doesn't help that Scarlett glares at her; there might be respect but both have learned how dangerous the other is in this very physical fight.
But that seems to have led to ill feeling between the women as they both get cleaned up and come to the ring centre for the result to be announced, no words being exchanged as Scarlett gets her hand raised.
The looks they exchange though as Emily heads past Scarlett says more then words could, if looks could kill and all that, well it fits perfectly as neither seems happy to know the other is in their orbit in the FCBA.
As Emily heads up the ramp; Nikki tells her "next time you'll get her" with Emily replying "you're damn right" with the crowd applauding her off.
Scarlett is more focused on celebrating as she laughs and jokes with Virginia on the party the team will have tonight.
"I hope there's a knockout of the night award since that is going to take some beating" says Scarlett as her and Virginia head out the ring to their locker room.
The big news right now is that team America is 1 ahead in the FCBA international cup, how will team Rest of the World react?

Nikki looks relieved as team Rest of the World gets on the scoreboard and stays in the International cup, her arms raised in the air herself as Virginia Madsen gives her a scowl from across the ring.
The main action though is Bar putting her right foot onto the chest of Jaimie as she stares down at her and tells her rival "I told you you're nothing; I boxed you, out thought you before we even stepped into the fight and you are where you belong, at my feet bytch" before spitting on Jaimie to show her disdain for the actress.
Who stares up hatefully but hasn't the energy to do anything, instead she has to watch Bar go off and celebrate this massive win, while the ringside doctor checks on Jaimie's nose.
As Bar gets her gloves taken off; she tells Nikki "thank the Lord Miranda (Kerr) was smart enough to pick me right" with Nikki just smiling in reply, though inside Nikki hopes that Miranda knocks this loudmouth out, for now both her and Miranda need Bar.
The crowd applaud Jaimie as her nose seems to have stopped bleeding and she is helped from the ring; it was a gutsy performance but she needs to learn to control her temper as that was led her into being in trouble and needing to rely on her toughness to get through to the sixth round.
One person who won't show her respect is Bar, who waves her goodbye and pretends to wipe a tear from her eye, before her arm is raised by the referee to make the win official.
Rest of the World team barely hanging on as they need to win the last 2 fights to win the cup, Bar has given them that chance and it looks like she'll be reminding them of that fact repeatedly as she heads to the back with a cocky smirk stuck on her face.

(Team USA vs Team Rest of the World)

Intro:
So it comes down to tonight's main event to decide which team is taking the FCBA International cup home, the team captains do battle as Team USA captain Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Team Rest of the World looks to break the deadlock.
Mary is 33 years old, she stands 5'8; holding a record of 52 wins, 46 by knockout, 39 defeats and is a former 2 time FCBA lightweight champion.
Miranda is 34 years old, stands 5'9 and holds a record of 26 wins, 25 by knockout and only 3 defeats.
she is the current ACB bantamweight champion, a former BBU bantamweight and lightweight champion and a former Queen of the ice hotel and won the Victoria Secret knockout tournament last year.
At the press event, both women went straight nose to nose with hands on hips as they stared each other down with real intensity in their eyes.
The fact this is the second time they are fighting as Mary gave Miranda one of those rare losses on her record last year with a 7th round knockout, that was a tense affair due to circumstances involving Yvonne Strahovski helping train Miranda for that fight, who just happens to be Mary's best friend.
The fact this has become a body saddle bout, with the loser being ridden around the ring by the winner on the world famous Victoria Secret saddle, showing how personal this was becoming between these two.
Both fighters separate after photos are taken and Mary is the first to the podium, with lots of questions being shouted about her "frenemy" Vonnie.
"Look I am here about the proud moment am going to have went I step out tomorrow as team captain of Team USA, I never imagined that I'd be able to do this and with Yvonne, well as of now that's something that me and her will discuss in private, not in public I hope till then" says Mary sternly as she clearly isn't in the mood for that.
Mary changes the subject to the fight at hand "look let's focus on me and Miranda, she is a top fighter, one of the scalps on my record I am most proud of, add on top the cup our teams are fighting for, well this is going to be one hell of a fight for me"
Turning to Miranda; she finishes by saying "but on a personal note, that saddle with look so good on your back and I'll enjoy every moment I ride you"
Miranda smiles as she heads to the podium and says "before you all ask; I have no interest in Yvonne and Mary's relationship, what concerns me is proving I am going to be a champion in the FCBA and the team I have created is"
She continues "I am so humble to be part of history, I plan to be on the winning side of the stories that are written about this night, meaning I will kick Mary's ass and I'll be loving every minute of it"
Finishing by saying "on the saddle; I'll remember to bring my whip just for your flabby behind" with both women squaring up in front of the cup for final photos.
Fight night; cameras pan to a VIP guest in the front row; there is Yvonne Strahovski with her FCBA lightweight belt on her shoulder.
Pundits wondering what is going through her mind; is she supporting Mary or is she supporting her fellow Aussie Miranda?
Now though Mary is on her way out with her coach Virginia Madsen; she bangs her gloves together as she smiles, beginning her walk to the ring but stops as she sees Yvonne, the look exchanged between the two is far from friendly.
Mary turns back to the ring and jogs up the steps and gets into the ring; she is wearing the Team USA gear, American flag pattern sports bra, red gloves and shoes red trunks with a white waistband and Winstead in blue letters written on it, with her brunette hair is in a ponytail with a red ribbon.
Now out comes Miranda; she has a small smile on her face as her and Nikki stare into the ring, both jog down to the ring and it's interesting to see Miranda nod over to Yvonne, who puts her thumb up to show who she is supporting tonight.
Stepping into the ring, Miranda is wearing a navy Blue sports bra, with matching shoes and gloves, while she is wearing a Australia flag pattern on her trunks, her own brunette hair is in a ponytail too.
The fighters step to the ring centre with eyes locked, the weight of importance on this fight shows on their faces as they square up to each other.
Asked to touch gloves; there's a quick swipe as they want to get this started, getting to their corners; they are ready for 10 rounds of lightweight action to decide the FCBA International cup.

Round 1:

But Miranda seems to have an idea to counter that; using her left to shove Mary onto the ropes and slamming her right to the side of her opponent face.
Mary shoving back Miranda and needing to move off the ropes and lands several jabs to the face of Kerr to make her second guess her attacks.
The model though won't be so easily deterred; ducking under a straight, she comes up with a right hook that turns Mary's head and allows Miranda to drive Winstead to the ropes.
But Mary is fighting back as the girls trade as the seconds tick away in the round, both desperate to win the opening round.
The bell rings with both fighters giving each other a nasty glare as they pass each other by, Miranda looked the stronger that round but she knows this is far from over.
Round 2:
Miranda looks to build off the first round success she had, stepping forwards behind her jab as they trade single punches, while Mary sticks to the outside of the ring.
When Miranda looks to step in with more power punches; Mary blocks or dodges them and counters with punches slamming into the nose of Miranda or testing her abs out.
The model tries to rush Mary back; Mary sidesteps her and instead catches Miranda to her face with a left cross to knock her back a step.

Alessandra Ambrosio:
What a crock! My bestie Miranda was kicking your f***ing ass around the ring, you fluked that win and had the gaul to ride her, you should apologize to Miranda.

Since we know you are too stuck up to do that, I'll force an apology out of you after I beat your backside, bring that crop so I can use it and Miranda babe, you can come and hear her beg.

Getting practice in for riding Mary

The day is never, ever going to come where you're going to make me yelp.    I haven't lost a minute of sleep over dissing you or kicking your ass, Mare.    I don't think I'll be sorry about that anytime soon and if you ever try to make me, you're going to be the one who regrets it.        Trust me, if I ever came at you, I definitely won't miss.      We're totally through right now and trust me, enjoy the moment.       I'm on the prowl too atop the division and you're just prey, understand?   

Celebrate while you can, Mary - I hope Alessandra takes you down like you deserve!   If she doesn't, then I'll have to use my superior legs to break you down after all. 

I'm an angel and you're a little devil, Mare...
