Bridget Regan versus Sarah Lancaster

Before: “It’s been a few years but I haven’t forgotten. I lost one of my titles that night. I’m not saying that it wasn’t fair and square. Anyone will tell you that’s the way it goes in the FCBA. What I’m saying is I’ve got a chance to avenge that loss and I’m going for it. I think Sarah has been one of the top fighters since I’ve been fighting so this is a challenge I’ve been looking forward too.” Bridget Regan eloquently replays her title fight with Sarah Lancaster in front of the herd of reporters.

“She’s a power legend no one’s going to dispute that, but I got it done when we had our one and only fight and I intend on doing it again tonight. I’ve stayed as fit as anyone in welter country, including muscles over here.” Lancaster draws a slight chuckle out of Regan as she wraps up her pre-fight talk. “I know I’m still operating on all cylinders as a fighter, and there’s a reason Bridgy Regs has only fought me once, everyone including her knows I’m more than capable of pulling out a win tonight.” Neither fighter spends much time in the pre-fight talk. They both know the other very well and there’s respect between them, something that just doesn’t exist in a flyweight tilt.

Both women are truly fit. Sarah in a green bikini, black gloves and boots and Bridget in all black. Each women wearing their hair back in full battle ponytails.
