The FCBA lightweight title is on the line now, Adriana Lima takes on the champ Alessandra on the Copacabana beach in their home country of Brazilian.

Alessandra is 38 years old; she stands 5'9 ½ and holds a record of 35 wins, all by knockout, with 7 defeats, she is the current FCBA lightweight champion and the BBU lightweight champion, making her first defence of the FCBA title.

This fight is made interesting by the fact these two are best friends, though this isn't purely a friend helping out another as Adriana has been an elite fighter the past decade.

The fighters met face to face on the beach they'd fight on the next day wearing bikinis, the press conference saw Alessandra hand off her two titles to her coach Taryn Terrell, before she returns to facing her friend.

They shake hands before posing with their fists up for the cameras, still they smile though as they don't seem able to get angry at each other.

Separating to head to their tables after sharing a joke about the press wanting them to catfight, they sit down ready to give their statements to the press.

First up to do so is Adriana; she grins as she begins by saying "wow this is going to be interesting, everyone of you should know that me and Alessandra are like sisters, so for her to give me this shot is something I am thankfully for"

She adds "if we are being honest though; I never expected that it would be this way around, I thought I'd be the one giving you the shot Alessandra" making the champ look confused at her at the back handed statement.

"What do you mean Adriana?" Simply asks Alessandra as she turns to face her bestie, wondering where she is going with this subject.

"All I mean is I've been the elite fighter for years; while you have been chasing me, I expected being the one holding the title again before you got your hands on it" replies Adriana looking confused why her friend is even asking her question.

"I love you Adriana but what the hell are you talking about?! I earned this title and you show me no respect for it, I thought we were friends!" Yells Alessandra as she let's her temper out.

Adriana looks upset as she tells Alessandra "look I am just telling the truth, you know you are like my sister but I am not going to lie to make you feel better"

"Yeah well you'll get to either prove your theory or I will knock you out and you'll see how full of sh*t you are" Alessandra tells a now angry Adriana.

With the two coming face to face again with no hint of their friendship shown now, they exchange a threat of what they will do when that bell rings, neither will show any mercy.

Fighting time; the ring posts set into the sand, with bleachers surrounding the ring with a sold out crowd already chanting each fighters name.

Out first onto the beach is Adriana, she has her coach Kelly Carlson beside her, Adriana looks all business as the title means as much clearly as her friendship with Alessandra.

She is wearing a green bikini with yellow trim, green gloves with white thumbs, as her hair is braided for the battle ahead.

Stepping into the ring with a wave to the crowd, she jogs over to her corner to get ready, with Kelly telling her to show whose the best in Brazil.

Now out comes Alessandra with Taryn and cut woman Eva Carneiro, Taryn holds the FCBA lightweight title as Eva holds the BBU title, Alessandra bounces on her toes with her eyes locked on the ring, her normal happy demeanor is hidden behind anger as she begins her march to the ring.

She is wearing a black bikini with gold trim and a golden "AA" badge on the left cup, black gloves with gold thumbs, while her hair is in a ponytail.

After she gets into the ring; Alessandra poses with the FCBA belt on her shoulder, staring at Adriana as they lock eyes on an intense stare, then hands the belt off to the ref as she warms up in her corner.

Once they are both ready; they come to the center of the ring, the referee holds the belt in front of them but they are staring each other down, the tension can be felt in the air as a duelling chant rings out.

When told to touch gloves; they take a moment to do so before returning back to their corners, ready for 10 rounds of FCBA lightweight title action.

Round 1:
"Ding" both fighters step in close to work from the bell, circling on their toes as they are letting their hands go already.

They are similar type of fighters; leading to a stalemate as they work both land stiff shots across the others face.

Alessandra misses with a straight as Adriana dips down, using her left shoulder to bump Alessandra onto her heels, where she follows with an overhand right to the cheek.

Now Adriana bullies Alessandra onto the ropes, the champion forced to cover up as her opponent goes to work on her body, making Ambrosio groan out when she gets hit clean.

Late in the round Alessandra nudges Adriana back so she can escape into space, Adriana doesn't let her get too far away though as Lima looks to keep the pressure on her.

The bell rings with Adriana giving Alessandra a cocky grin, before returning to her corner to a smiling Kelly.

Round 2:
Back at it go the fighters, heads nearly clashing as they throw wide hooks, trying to take the others head off it seems but missing more then landing right now.

That changes when Alessandra lands a jab/right cross combo, she has Adriana stepping back as she throws more punches through the mitts of her opponent to her face.

When Adriana is nearly knocked onto the ropes, she gives Alessandra a little nudge to open up a gap for her to move into.

But Alessandra is now being the aggressor; stalking her friend down with straight shots that mostly land on the gloves of Lima, stopping her from being able to throw more then single punches.

A missed right from Alessandra though leaves her open to a counter left to the body, followed up by two punches to her face.

Adriana looks to rally late in the round, with both again nearly clashing heads as they lunge in with straight shots, the bell rings after a slugfest at the center of the ring, with both again intensely staring before returning to their corners.

Round 3:
As from the start of the fight; neither woman is looking to back up, coming together at the ring center to trade, it is almost becoming a brutal dance as they circle while throwing punches into the others marked up faces.

Alessandra manages to dip under a straight, coming up with an uppercut that lands enough to push Adriana onto her heels, where she drives her into a corner.

Quickly Adriana pulls Alessandra into a clinch, where they can be seen trading insults in their native tongue, the referee is needed to break them apart.

Once separated they move back towards the center of the ring, where Alessandra looks to be the one on the front foot again, she misses though with a left cross, taking two hooks to the body for her trouble.

Now it's Adriana coming on strong as she lands an overhand right/left jab combo, quickly following up with more punches that have Alessandra backing up onto the ropes.

The champ tries to sidestep her challenger, Adriana catches her though with a left hook, giving the Odds fighter the momentum to knock her opponent onto the ropes where she can work.

The round ends with Alessandra covering up on the ropes, Adriana puts her arms out at her side, taunting her friend before she struts back to her corner.

Round 4:
Like dodgem cars they are bumping away early on, shoulders clashing as they swing hooks into the others abs to make them groan out.

This is becoming a battle of wills as they look to press the other back, leading to them bumping heads, the referee is quick to step in to warn them to keep their heads up.

When the action resumes; Adriana lands a straight right/followed by a left cross, turning Alessandra's head and making the champion retreat backwards.

Adriana nearly has her on the ropes with a flurry landing on the guard of Ambrosio, who drags Lima into a clinch; making the referee step in again this round to break them up.

This time as Adriana tries to come forwards; Alessandra sidesteps her before landing her own right across the face of her opponent.

Alessandra is turning on the jets now to bash Adriana back across the ring, she let's some of her punches go lower to the jugs of Adriana, maybe taking advice from Taryn to use every advantage she can think of.

Adriana certainly isn't liking being bullied backwards, her face is a mask of rage as she does her best to cover up, when she does swing out her guard, she misses and pays with a right hook to her cheek.

The round ends with Alessandra now the one smirking, waving Adriana to bring it as the referee gets between the two, who maybe becoming former best friends by the looks of how things are developing.

Round 5:
It looks like the pattern is going to continue, BUT ADRIANA CHANGES THINGS UP BY SIDESTEPPING A WILD SWING FROM ALESSANDRA, COUNTERING WITH AN UPPERCUT THAT PUTS THE CHAMP ON HER BACKSIDE!

The Adriana fans loved that! They roar as she marches over to a neutral corner, 1...2...3...4.. Alessandra gives her head a shake, 5...6.. She looks more pissed off though then hurt, 7...8.. Beating the count with her eyes locked on her opponent.

Who understandably comes straight at Alessandra when the order to fight rings out, after they trade; Alessandra backs up after taking a hard right/left combo across her face.

The champion struck in retreat mode as Adriana comes at her, the crowd is mixed again as one supports the champ to make a comeback, the challengers fans want her to finish this.

At the moment it is Adriana getting her way, head down as she moves inside to rip away at the body, till she is dragged into a front headlock, Adriana nearly rams Alessandra through the ropes as the referee yells at them to separate, needing them to do it for them.

Alessandra does manage to land several counter punches to the face of Adriana, it is Adriana though who is dictating the action, bashing Alessandra back along the ropes when she lands a hard right to the face of the champ.

The bell rings with Adriana telling Alessandra "sorry to do this but your title is mine" making both glare before they return to their corners, after this strong round for Lima, Ambrosio is going to need to pull something out the bag.

Round 6:
Adriana as expected is the early aggressor, hunting down her opponent with straight shots as she looks to cut the ring off to finish this.

Clearly hating to do it; Alessandra is covering up more with a look of anger at her challenger, flicking jabs out more defensively then for offence.

Leading to Adriana getting close to work the body of Alessandra, making her groan louder as she bullies her near a set of ropes, where Alessandra holds onto her to force the referee to step in.

After being pulled apart; Adriana looks to keep the pressure on, stepping forwards with more power punches being thrown by her.

But Adriana misses with a left hook; getting countered with an overhand left/uppercut combination, that rocks the head back of Adriana as Alessandra comes to life.

The champ is now battering Adriana back across the ring, with the challenger looking stunned by the assault, Adriana now pulls Alessandra into a clinch, though both continue to push with their bodies into the others.

In the dying seconds of the round; they go toe to toe to the delight of the fans, cheeks look swollen from repeated power shots that shows the toughness of the fighters.

When the round ends; they walk past each other without looking at the other, their corner teams needed to work on reducing the swelling on their faces, as both chat about how they are going to turn this in their favour.

Round 7:
They come to the center of the ring; this time though as Adrian tries to sidestep Alessandra, she takes a hard right across her nose that looks to have hurt her.

Blood is running from her nostril as Alessandra piles on the pressure, ADRIANA IS BEING DRIVEN BACKWARDS UNDER THE ASSAULT, SHE MISSES WITH A DESPERATE LOOKING RIGHT, A COUNTER RIGHT HOOK PUTS ADRIANA DOWN TO HER SIDE!

The Alessandra fans now are the loudest as they watch their girl raise her arms in the air, then heads to a neutral corner as the count begins.

1...2...3.. Adriana has blood running from her nose into the sand, she is trying to wipe it, 4...5...6.. Staring up angrily at Alessandra, Adriana fights to stand up, 7...8.. Beating the count with Alessandra waving her to bring it.

Adriana is allowed to continue; now it's Alessandra coming on the attack, feinting with her left as Adriana stares keenly, looking for the real attack from the champ.

When the attack comes though Adriana is too slow to block it, a left comes around her guard to her nose, bringing tears to Adriana's eyes, ESPECIALLY WHEN AN UPPERCUT LANDS ON HER CHIN, ADRIANA STUMBLES INTO A CORNER, WHERE ALESSANDRA POUNDS HER UNGUARDED FACE TILL THE REFEREE STEPS IN TO WAVE THE FIGHT OFF, JUDGING LIMA AS NOT BEING ABLE TO CONTINUE!

Winner and still FCBA lightweight champion Alessandra Ambrosio TKO Round 7

After:
Alessandra roars to the sky as she raises her blood stained gloves into the air, Adriana's face looks a mess thanks to the blood from her nose.

Kelly rushes over to Adriana to check on her, helping the badly dazed Adriana back over to her corner to patch her up, stopping the nose bleed first before everything else.

Meanwhile Alessandra mounts the bottom rope of the corner Adriana was finished in, flexing her arms as an Alessandra chant rings out in the bleachers.

The victor jogs over to her corner; where Taryn and Eva both look proud of their fighter, telling her how awesome she looked at the end of the fight.

Surprisingly for Alessandra she gets a tap on her back, Adriana has paper up her nose and tears in her eyes as Alessandra turns to look at her, Adriana says "I'm so sorry I disrespected you, you know I love you right?"

Alessandra quickly embraces Adriana, replying "I'm sorry that I got so heated with you babe, I love you too" as both are now crying as they hug, the crowd glad that two of their national heroes have made up after what was a very physical war.

When the referee has the FCBA lightweight title in hand, Adriana takes it off them so she can wrap it around Alessandra's waist, joking with her "I still think it looks better on me" winking to Alessandra, which she regrets as she holds her sore nose, making her friend laugh.

Everything seems to have returned back to normal for the friends as Alessandra gets her hand raised by the referee, Adriana applauds her before they hug one more time.

Adriana leaves the ring with Kelly; going to get her nose checked more in the media area, but giving the crowd one last blown kiss as a thank you for their support.

Inside the ring Alessandra does a lap of honour holding both lightweight belts up, you could say she has made more history tonight by being the first woman to defend both the FCBA and BBU titles in the same month.

The big question now in the lightweight division is will it be Alexis Ren or Anllela Sagra who will be getting the next title shot?

For now though Alessandra leaves the ring to a loud chant, she poses one last time with the belts on her shoulders outside the ring before heading off to take a well earned shower.
