The fighters were interviewed by Lucy Liu on the FCBA Network, with Hunter the first in the seat wearing a red dress as she looks excited.

Asked about how she feels being part of team America, she smiles warmly and replies "I know I deserve the spot but it still was amazing to get the call off Miley, me and her aren't always that polite around each other but this was one of my goals after being booted from the Front Street stable"

The subject turns to her opponent, Hunter grins as she answers "I see Ana is on cloud nine right now, she has become a star over night purely for who she shares a bed with, happily I've always enjoyed having talent in what I do"

Lucy pointing out that Ana is undefeated in the ring, Hunter points out "first she has been feasting on flyweights and second, she ain't fought anyone as good as me" standing up with a smile as her and Lucy shake hands.

When Ana sits on the hot seat, she is wearing a black dress with matching heels, she is asked her feelings on being on the Rest of the World team.

She answers with a grin "I always love a challenge, so far the team has never won the International Cup, I fancy I can help the team get the cup, especially just Hunter looking to stop me"

Lucy asking then does she not rate hunter, the reply from Ana was "look her record is impressive, that's till you start picking through it to find out that she has fought broken down fighters, anytime she has stepped up she has been sent down for the count"

Leaning forwards with a confident grin, Ana tells Lucy "this is another step up for Hunter, I'm going to show her why she was cut by her stable" nodding to Lucy before leaving the set.

With Hunter wondering what happened, Ana knocked her silly with those uppercuts, Kiana needing to help her up and out the ring as the ringside doctor wants to run tests in the back.

Rightly so Hunter gets applauded for her effort, she helped give the fans a great fight, though she looks upset as it hits her that she lost and that is more important then the crowd's reaction right now.
