Intro:
The opening fight here tonight in the Alamodome in Houston sees Ana De Armas look to continue her unbeaten run towards a title shot, in her way this time is Ashley Greene, who will be hoping to use this to springboard back into the spotlight.
Ana is 31 years old, she stands 5'6, holding an undefeated record of 5 wins, all coming by way of knockout.
Ashley is 33 years old, she stands 5'5, holding a record of 23 wins, 22 coming by way of knockout, with 24 defeats.
It has been a bad year so for Ashley, losing to Megan Fox in January was the final straw for her former stable Odds & Ends, Ana hoping to pile on the misery with another defeat for Greene.
Before the fight both women were asked for a few words in front of the FCBA badge behind them on a wall in the back, Alicia Atout is on the reporting duty tonight with up first the smiling Ana talking to her.
"I'm finally feeling on a roll in my career, it was a rocky start thanks to my stable at the time losing money, beating Hunter (King) and Lily (Collins) has given me real confidence I can make a name in this sport" Ana says with a grin, arm around Alicia's shoulder with the reporter smiling back.
Asked about Ashley, she replies "she is a good fighter, though maybe it is in the past, Ashley hasn't been the same fighter for a year at least" not exactly being complimentary of her opponent right now.
Finishing up by telling Alicia "this is about me showcasing my talents, you'll all see what I can do at my best and well if anyone wants a crack at me after this fight, I welcome all comers" hugging Alicia before she heads off.
Next up on camera is Ashley with Alicia, she isn't looking too pleased as she leans against the wall, telling Alicia "before you ask how I feel, I'll keep it simple for you, I am pissed off that people now look down on me" kicking the wall behind her.
"Since I got cut from Odds and Ends I've been asked am I finished as a top fighter, will I be giving up fighting, I am so sick of it that unlucky for Ana, I'm going to take out all my frustration on her, any opening she gives I will hurt her" says Ashley as she pushes off the wall and stares hard at the camera, as if talking to her detractors.
She taps Alicia on her arm with a nod as if to say thank you for letting her have the chance to speak her mind, off she goes to her locker room to get ready for the fight.
Fighting time; Ana is out first with her coach beside her, she has a red robe on as she jogs down the aisle, looking relaxed while nodding to her fans who are wolf whistling and cheering her.
The robe comes off to reveal that Ana is wearing a red sports bra with black trim, matching trunks and shoes, black gloves with red thumbs, her hair is tied back into a braid.
Climbing through the ropes with a smile, Ana waves to the crowd while heading to her corner, once there she shadow boxes to get into focused mode.
Ashley then heads out with her new coach, she looks in a bad mood as she marches down the aisle, banging her gloves together like a drumbeat of destruction is coming.
She is wearing a black sports bra, black trunks with her surname in white letters on her waistband, black shoes with three tiny white stars on the side, white gloves, her hair is tied back into a ponytail.
Stepping through the ropes into her corner, Ashley looks to the heavens with her eyes shut, then looks over at Ana with a steely gaze.
The fighters are waved together by the referee to the ring center, they look each other over as they shake their arms to keep limber, Ashley banging her gloves together as she looks keen to get at Ana.
Asked to touch gloves, they swipe their gloves with their opponent's, turning back to their corners with focused looks, the bell rings when they are ready, starting 10 rounds of bantamweight action.
Round 1:
Dancing around each other up on their toes, both women probe the others defences to start, neither pushing the boat out in the opening thirty seconds.
It's Ashley who looks to push the tempo up a notch, feinting with a jab up top to lift up the guard of De Armas, landing her real right to the abs of the Cuban, followed by a left to her ribs.
The next time they come together to trade, it is Ana this time that baits Greene with a right that doesn't come, a left hook instead comes against the cheek of Ashley.
The opening two minutes is a lot of thrust and parry, evenly fought action as they can't seem to gain traction, getting inside to work before being knocked back.
A jab smacks Ashley on her lips, with Ashley missing with a left cross as Ana dips down, an overhand right smacking the older fighter across her cheek.
Backing up Ashley as she puts her head down, the younger fighter showing off her power to her opponent, working her punches under the ribs of Greene to make her groan out, up till the bell rings to end the round.
Ana looking pleased with herself how she finished the round, getting told off her coach that she can't get too full of herself just yet, as Ashley stares daggers at Ana from across the ring.
Round 2:
Coming out their corners up on their toes, they Bob and weave looking for better angles to strike, with Ashley stepping inside with a double jab into the chest of Ana to make her hiss.
The opening minute seeing both women land through gaps in the others defences, Ashley looks to be trying to be more aggressive, landing two or three punches at a time when she can get in closer.
A double jab catches Greene on her nose as she comes inside, Ana stepping in to land a right cross to the cheek of Ashley, taking the center of the ring herself as she looks to get control of the action.
A missed straight though earns Ana a right to her ear, a left cross smacks Ana on her jaw to make her back off, allowing Ashley to turn the tables on her by coming forwards behind a stiff jab and straight.
Finding herself on the back foot, Ana is only able to land single punches out her guard, mostly kept behind it in the final forty seconds of the round till it comes to an end.
This time Ashley nods over to her coach, a better round for the veteran as she sits on her stool, getting her head wiped down as she looks up for this fight, knowing the importance of a win here for her future.
Round 3:
Banging her gloves together as she steps out her corner, Ashley catches her opponent a little flat footed with a jab to the body, followed by an uppercut that goes through her guard to her chin.
Pressing back Ana behind her gloves, Ashley is throwing a flurry of punches aimed at the head of De Armas, not landing with all those thrown, the ones that get through knock back the head of her opponent.
Missing with a jab, Ashley gets hit on her lips by a left cross, a straight pushes back Greene to the center of the ring, where Ana comes after her to trade.
Feet planted as they trade hard hooks to bodies, Ana tries for an uppercut that just grazes the chin of Greene, who leans back before ploughing a right into the nose.
Soon enough the bell rings with Ana looking annoyed with herself, slapping her cheeks with her gloves as if to tell herself to get her head in the game.
Across the ring Ashley sits on her stool looking relaxed, telling her coach "she is too easy" grinning as her coach tells her to keep focused.
Round 4:
Meeting at the center of the ring, there's a high pace exchange between the fighters, trading combos as they try to be the one to win these exchanges.
Slipping a straight so she can counter with a jab to the chest, Ana follows with an overhand right to knock the head of her opponent to the side, beginning to drive back the veteran.
A double jab to the mouth of Ashley opens her up to a right hook to her jaw, Ana making Ashley have to cover up more tightly, the greater volume of punches coming from De Armas.
With a minute to go in the round, Ashley leans out the way of a right cross, driving in a straight to the top of Ana's head, with a left cross following as she moves off the ropes.
A fiery exchange at the center, nearly clashing heads as they move in tight to work bodies, barks ringing out as they are loading up their punches to really land with power.
The round comes to an end with both women staring hard into each others eyes, Ana showing she isn't going to go away so easily, both women sitting on their stool with steely gazes aimed at their opponent.
Round 5:
Bumping heads as they come inside to work, there's a cold stare from both, before they resume trading straight punches to the others face.
Slipping a left cross, Ashley pounds in two shots to the abs of her opponent, landing an overhand left to the jaw of Ana to knock her back a step, the veteran starting to build momentum again as the first minute goes by.
A missed right though by leaves Ashley open to an uppercut that knocks her to her heels, Ana turning the tables as she drives back Greene towards the ropes.
Working under the ribs of Ashley with hooks, Ana looks to be enjoying seeing the grimace on Ashley's face, she gets clipped across her cheek with a left cross.
Nudging back Ana so she can get off the ropes, both women trading at the center, nearly bumping heads again as they work in uppercuts, groans escaping both women's lips as their bodies get worked over.
At the bell they nudge apart before returning to their corners, with both looking annoyed they haven't gotten a good hold on this fight so far, an evenly fought round adding to that annoyance.
Round 6:
Circling at the center of the ring trading two or three punches at a time, punches reddening up the cheeks of both women.
Ducking under a straight; Ana pounds in a right to the gut of Ashley, that bends the veteran into an uppercut that knocks her back onto her heels, with Ana beginning to pound back Ashley to the ropes.
Ashley tries to throw back hooks to ward off Ana, she misses with a left hook and again takes an uppercut, she is rocked onto the ropes, WHERE A RIGHT HOOK SMACKS ASHLEY ON HER CHIN, GUMSHIELD FLYING OUT AS ASHLEY FALLS TO HER FRONT!
The referee nudges back Ana to send her to the neutral corner, 1...2...3...4.. Ashley can be heard groaning, 5...6...7... She is still laying spread eagle on her front barely moving, 8...9...10 Greene is counted out!
Winner Ana De Armas KO Round 6
After:
Another stunning knockout for Ana keeps her undefeated run going, she flexes her arms as she stands over Ashley, who is flat out knocked clean out.
Ashley's corner crew come out to ward off Ana from doing anything else to her, Ana just grins before she turns her back to Ashley, wiping her feet behind her as if kicking dust on Greene.
Who thankfully comes back to reality, groaning as she holds her chin and looks confused what hit her, slowly she is helped out the ring and up the aisle to the back so she can be given a full check up.
While Ana gets cleaned up by her corner team, they tell her "we keep lining them up and you keep hammering them down" all of them laughing as Ana kisses her right fist.
Heading to the center of the ring, Ana gets her right hand raised in victory, she blows kisses to the crowd before posing for photos with her arms flexed.
Leaving the ring not long after, she high fives some people in the front row, heading up the aisle with her corner crew, Ana keeps stepping up to the plate and knocking out those who challenge her, who can beat this undefeated phenomenon?
