Intro:
Two flyweights in a bit of a slump do battle now; Elizabeth Henstridge takes on the "Liberian Lynx" Kat Graham on PPV.

Elizabeth is 31 years old; she stands 5'4 and holds a record of 19 wins, all by knockout and 8 defeats.

Kat is 29 years old; she also stands 5'4 and holds a record of 17 wins, 15 by knockout and 13 defeats.

Both women were interviewed at their gyms, with Elizabeth finishing sparring with Maisie Williams, heading out the ring with a towel and bottle of water, Elizabeth is full of smiles as she jogs over to the press.

"Hey guys, it feels great to have a win behind me for what feels like too long, beat Lindsay (Lohan) has definitely got my smile back" says the cheerful Elizabeth.

Taking a drink, she continues after "I'll have to be fully focused against Kat though, she is a great fighter or why else would Front Street have her, but I need to be confident and believe in myself to do the job"

She finishes her speech with "I have to say thank you to all these guys" waving to her stablemates and coaches "without these guys I'd probably be a wreck and wouldn't be in the ring, they kept faith with me and have given me the strength to fight through the bad patch"

While Kat finishes her weight training; showing off her abs and flexing her arms as she grins at the cameras, before wiping herself down with a towel.

"It's great that Wiz is helping me out with training, feels like the old days when I fought for him regularly, so I feel in perfect shape" says Kat as she stands with her hands on her hips.

"I know that Elizabeth and her stable expect me to be part of her rebuilding process, she picked the wrong woman for that, I am going to enjoy crushing her dreams of ever being an elite fighter" adds Kat as she grins cockily.

Fight night; Elizabeth comes out with Lauren Berlingeri and Eva Carneiro behind her, she looks in good spirits as she walks down the aisle, waving to her young fans as she goes.

She is wearing a grey sports bra, shorts and shoes, she had black gloves with silver coloured thumbs, her hair is in a ponytail.

Climbing into the ring, she jogs over to her corner and mounts the bottom ropes, arms in the air as her fans cheer her, hopping down soon enough so she can go through her warm up routine.

Out comes Kat to a loud cheer, she has her coach behind her as she marches to the ring, she looks confident as she stares at the ring and her opponent.

When they are asked to touch gloves; the fighters do as told, with Elizabeth smiling and wishing Kat good luck, only getting a stone faced look in reply.

Winner Elizabeth Henstridge KO Round 3

After:
A stunning knockout for Elizabeth; so much so that Elizabeth can be seen mouthing "wow" before she raises her arms in the air.

Kat's coach rushes in to help Kat up; she still looks badly dazed as she is helped to her corner, shaking her head to try and clear her head.

Elizabeth after getting her gloves taken off by Lauren heads over to check on Kat, who doesn't look pleased but does nod that she'll be OK.

Understandably Kat looks disappointed as she chats to her coach, who is telling her that she needed to keep her focus, she left herself wide open and she can now learn from her mistake.

While Elizabeth gets a hug from her coaching team, Eva telling her "I am so happy to see you smiling again" with Elizabeth thanking her for her help.

Both fighters come to the ring centre, where Elizabeth soon enough gets her hand raised to a loud cheer by her fans as she smiles warmly to them.

Kat just looks at the canvas; before she heads out the ring with help from her coach to the locker rooms, hoping that tonight will be a reminder of why she got cut and to work on herself to improve her fortunes.

In the ring; Elizabeth bows to each side of the ring, excited that her future is looking brighter as Lauren pats her shoulder and praises her for the efficient finish.

Elizabeth heading out the ring to the back; blowing kisses to her fans as she goes, having Lauren and Eva both behind her and looking proud of their friend.
