The next question is about how she plans to take down Atwell, replying "I have the reach to go with my power, the only way she beats me is if I am dumb enough to let her get in close"

The final question is on her plans as she hasn't got many years left in her prime, Alessandra says "oh thanks Lucy" laughing before finishing up with "well I am going to be fighting Lisa Maffia next month in the BBU for my title, if I win that then I'll make history in the BBU, the biggest goal is to unify the BBU and FCBA titles to be the first to do it"
