Intro:
The main event now and we switch gears, from California to Alaska as the legendary Queen of the ice Hotel title is on the line, Brooklyn Decker takes on the Queen Kate Upton, hoping to join the likes of Alexis Ren, Kelly Brook and Adrianna Lima as sitting on the throne of the illustrious Ice Hotel.
Twice they have fought before, the first time in a rousing war on the 10th anniversary of the Lookout! Stable, Kate would come out on top with a brutal knockout in the tenth round, months later though under JMDD rules, Brooklyn would get revenge with a thunderous hammering of Kate's pride and joy.
These two have a funny relationship, plenty of respect has been shown over the years, even working together to take down Catherine Bell in the past, but there is still that natural rivalry of Ohio (Brooklyn) and Michigan (Kate) behind them, with the fact they are both Sports Illustrated legends fuelling their need to be the best.
While they are in the cold, this won't be a "Snow Bowl" here, both women have trained hard as shown at the weigh in, with the fighters looking toned as they step on the scales the day before.
The hired a special reporter for this fight, former Queen of the Ice Hotel Laetitia Casta was on hand to give an impartial view and get word from the fighters, first heading into the hotel room of Brooklyn to find her sitting watching TV wearing an old Ohio State college football top and jeans, waving Laetitia in with a big warm smile.
After exchanging hellos, Brooklyn is asked for her opinion on the fight, she replies "first it is funny getting used to the cold, the first day I was shivering but now I've been training in the hotel gym the past week, it reminds me of growing up in Ohio through winters" chuckling as Casta points out is it slightly colder in Alaska.
Brooklyn then tells Laetitia "OK beyond the fun and games I am here to prove something, see you've been the Queen here, my stablemate Odette (Yustman) has been herself a Queen here, so I know this is one of the most gruelling places to fight, to train as your body tells you it's too cold then you get into that fight and you run hot right?" Laetitia nodding.
The interviewer answering "yeah you need to be fully warmed up, any hint that you are cold and it'll eat you alive out there, Aishwarya (Rai) caught me cold when I fought her, let's say getting tossed into a snow pile when you are basically in your underwear isn't fun, took me all that night to feel back to normal" Brooklyn listening intently, knowing that the cost of defeat is pain and humiliation, something the "21st venture Goddess" will be aiming not to suffer.
"I respect Kate but that ain't going to be me, I am here to whoop her ass back to her home state" says Brooklyn to finish her speech, Laetitia pats Brooklyn on her shoulder as she wishes her luck, leaving Decker to her thoughts.
Heading into Kate's hotel room, she finds the "Queen" sitting cleaning her make up off after the weigh in, nodding to Laetitia to come in as she looks to be deep in thought herself about this fight.
The first subject Casta begins up is this being the fourth defence of her title here, a win ties her up with Kelly Brook for successful defences in a row, Kate almost snarls as she tells the interviewer "don't mention that bytch to me, you know first hand what Kelly frickin Brook is like, I am not interested in tying her record up, I want to eclipse it, I already dumped her fat ass into the snow outside my Ice Hotel" tossing a wipe down to the desk top.
Laetitia gives Kate a moment to relax before asking what's her opinion on this fight, the champ admits "look I like Brooklyn somewhat, trust me I don't care for that many people in this business, usually I am trying to knock them out or they try to think they are smart, me and Brooklyn have never been at each others throats, a miracle really considering our backgrounds, we should be tearing the others hair out on sight, blacking each others eyes but I just don't consider her my mortal enemy" clenching her fists as she says that, as if trying to make herself hate Brooklyn to make this fight easier for her.
Turning away from the mirror to face Casta, Kate adds "let's be clear though, once we eye each other in that ring, the bell goes and it is time to fight, I am showing her no mercy, she is after something I have grown accustomed too, this place is a symbol of my legacy, Brooklyn will not turf me out onto the snow banks outside without coming at me full force, one of us may get really hurt tomorrow, I don't care if it is her" turning back to the mirror with a cold stare as Laetitia doesn't say anything, just leaves the room as she doesn't want to rile up Upton.
Fight night, the ring is in the center of the Ice Hotel ballroom, with drapes handing from the ceiling with Brooklyn and Kate's pictures on different ones, there's a small crowd of FCBA managers and some fighters, former Ice Queen's like Taylor Swift and Alexis Ren are ringside well apart from each other, Kelly Brook looks upset seeing Kate's picture towering over her.
The crowd hush from their conversations as the first fighter is announced, Brooklyn steps through the double doors with coach Claudia Schiffer beside her, she takes a deep breath before walking the red carpet to the ring, a serious look on her face as a win tonight will add another major honour in her glittering career.
She steps into the ring wearing "Ohio Buckeyes" tribute colours, a scarlet red sports bra, grey trunks with red stripes down the sides, grey boots and red gloves, while her hair is tied back into a braid, all her attire fur lined to help keep the cold out.
Bouncing on her toes as she headed to her corner, she paced side to side throwing punches to keep warm as Claudia told her "tonight you take the crown! You knock Kate out! Finally you show the world whose the best around here" Brooklyn thudding her gloves together as she looks ready for this.
The Queen has arrived! Kate struts out through the doors wearing a long gold flowing robe, the crown on her head getting glares from her rivals at ringside, Nicole Kidman following behind smiling as she is fully confident Kate is going to be staying a resident here longer then tonight.
Getting the crown taken off by the referee, who hands it to the FCBA committee chairman, Kate gets her robe taken off to reveal she is wearing her favourite gold sports bra with fur lining, like her matching trunks, boots and gloves.
Taking a deep breath before she steps into the ring, Kate doesn't need a pep talk judging by the serious expression she has as she goes through her punching drills, trying to warm up before the fight starts.
Brought together by the referee at the center, neither is showing much love tonight to their opponent, eyes narrowed as the world for them seems to have become just the two of them, if one gets their way then it will be only one of them left standing.
When told to touch gloves, the fist bump has a loud crack to it, a cheer rings out as everyone is excited to see these two generational talents settle whose the best tonight, the bell rings to start 10 rounds of welterweight action.
Round 1:
Showing respect as they kick off the fight, throwing probing punches as they circle at the center, upper bodies moving as they show off their boxing skills, a couple of good shots get through but neither push the boat out in the first thirty seconds.
Opening up more as they move in closer, shoulders bumping as they throw in more harder punches, stinging the others bodied as they try to show their opponent they are going to be the one to control the pace.
Brooklyn after the opening minute is the first to land a big punch, leaning out the way of an overhand right, countering with am uppercut as she knocks back Upton a step, following up with two cross punches to the cheeks of the Queen.
Back to the outside of the ring goes Kate, being outworked now as she looks tense, throwing mostly single punches as Brooklyn has settled down, throwing some good combos in, even sneaking in some punches to the breasts of Kate to make her scowl behind her gloves.
Kate mood isn't made any better when the bell goes, returning to Nicole asking her what the hell is going on with her, Kate stands standing shaking her arms and legs to loose up.
Round 2:
Opening up more as she looks to take the fight back to Brooklyn, Kate is engaging more in hard hitting exchanges, some beautiful straight punches into faces land to snap back heads.
As Kate steps in with a left cross, she misses and takes a counter left uppercut to her chin, a right hook wobbles Kate! Brooklyn coming on hard with two straight punches to the face of Upton to knock her to the ropes.
Pulling Brooklyn into a clinch, Kate shakes her head to clear some cobwebs clearly there, referee needing to break them up when the kidney shots come from both women, warned to keep it clean.
On the defensive now as she looks to rebuild herself into the round, Kate can't seem to get out of first gear as Decker keeps on her till the round comes to an end, simply a shutout for Brooklyn as she battered the Queen, who stomps back to her corner upset with herself.
Round 3:
Tapping her cheeks before she steps out her corner as if to wake herself up, Kate steps in closer to Brooklyn, showing she isn't afraid of the power of her fellow blonde bombshell, maybe not the wisest tactic after that last round.
Using little shoves with her left between throwing her right in hooks and uppercuts let's Kate keep Brooklyn off base, allowing Kate to start getting into a rhythm for really the first time in the fight.
Brooklyn landing clipping blows to the sides of Kate's head, both nearly bump breasts as they work in tight, Kate not wanting to give her opponent time to load up as barks and groans can be heard off both.
Reading the uppercut coming from Brooklyn, Kate times a sweet counter right hook to the jaw of Decker, opening up her elbows more to land a couple of hooks to the body before getting shoved back to create space.
The round comes to an end with Nicole looking more relaxed as Kate heads back to her, Brooklyn nodding her head as she knows Kate has finally joined the party, Claudia telling her she has this.
Round 4:
Both up the tempo as they slug it out in close, body shots coming from both fighters thudding in, before they land some brutal punches up top, making them retreat to reset as both have a trickle of blood running from their nostrils.
Doubling up her jab as Kate comes at her, Brooklyn using the aggression of Upton against her, smacking to her angelic face to mark it up, keeping her on the outside as she moves around the ring.
Kate isn't in a poker playing mood tonight it seems as she bangs her gloves together in frustration, stalking after Brooklyn slipping punches so she can throw a straight right over the top as they enter the final minute.
Drilling hard punches through mitts as they box around the ring, Brooklyn parries a straight to dig in a right of her own to the chest of her opponent, who winces before a left cross slams across her cheek, making Upton cover up as Decker comes in with a mixture of body and head punches to drive the Queen back towards the ropes.
When the round ends Kate mumbles something to herself as she returns to her corner, Nicole shaking her head as she has a go at Upton, wanting to fire her up as Kate nods along, eyes narrowing as she seems to be taking it all in.
In her case Brooklyn looks relaxed, taking a breath as she looks a little puzzled by Kate, Claudia telling her to focus on taking the crown, not to worry about what the hell is going on with her opponent.
Round 5:
Neither holding back as they step together, drilling punches into the others cheeks, looking for a big right hook that just misses in the early part of the round, eyes locked behind their gloves.
Brooklyn slams a double jab into Kate's face, pushing back the Queen as she steps after her, Kate shows her resilience to come back with a straight onto the nose of Decker to stop her in her tracks, a left cross turning the Lioness fighters head.
Missing with a left cross, Brooklyn now eats an uppercut flush to knock her back a step, A LEFT HOOK CATCHES BROOKLYN ON HER JAW TO SEND HER TO HER KNEES!
Nearly throwing a straight as Brooklyn looks up at her, Kate holds back as the referee warns her to not even try it, Kate jogging to the neutral corner instead, 1...2...3...4.. Brooklyn taps her jaw to make sure it ain't broken, 5...6...7.. Watching the count but also stealing a glance at Kate as if to ask what is going on with her, 8.. Getting up not looking too hurt if a little shaken up, Brooklyn gets the nod to keep going.
Kate stalks after Brooklyn, both slamming single hard punches into the others face, Kate just missing with a big right hook as Brooklyn sees it coming and leans out the way in time, looking thankful when the bell rings to end the round so she can refocus.
Round 6:
Stepping back out her corner staring daggers at Kate, Brooklyn looks to take the fight back to her opponent, but it looks like she has lost her timing, Kate landing the cleaner punches as they fight at midrange, feet planted to generate more power on their punches.
Dipping under a right hook, Kate comes over the top with an overhand left, sweat flies off Brooklyn as she finds herself backed into a corner, Kate finally looking her usual self as she lands more hooks to the sides of Decker.
Holding onto Kate, Brooklyn is looking furious as she tries to shove back Kate with her body, both powerful blondes grappling along the ropes, glisten bodies looking glorious as the referee struggles to break them up.
Split apart Brooklyn comes back hard at Kate now, showing she won't be bullied as they fight on the inside, bumping bodies as it gets scruffy, snarls along with barks can be heard as their fists thud off shoulders and breasts.
Nudging apart at the bell, eyes locked as the referee stays between them, both wanting this badly as blood runs from their nostrils to make them look primal as their bodies are tense, they do return to their corners with any incidents, coaches working on cleaning their fighters up, the crowd fired up as they want both to destroy the other.
Round 7:
Opening up more on each other as they both land hard digs across faces from the off, neither holding back as they trade on the inside, heads nearly clashing as they both land right hooks to the body.
As Brooklyn gets nudged back she lands a left across the cheek of Kate, she steps back out the way of a right cross Upton over extends, A LEFT HOOK TO THE BACK OF KATE'S EAR SENDS HER SPRAWLING TO ALL FOURS!
"Stay down Kate!" Yells Brooklyn as she bends down to say in her ear before being nudged away to the corner, 1...2...3....4.. Kate shakes her head as is muttering something, 5...6.. Punching the canvas before sitting on her heels, 7...8.. Pushing to her feet raising her fists to show she can keep going.
"Bytch" mouths Brooklyn as she comes after Kate, who boxes off the back foot, needing to endure the fury of Decker, who smells blood in the water, getting several good shots through to the face of Upton to knock her back.
The round comes to a close with Kate covering up against the ropes, Brooklyn returning to her corner looking hyped up, Kate wiping the blood from her nose but nods at Brooklyn, Nicole working on patching her fighter up.
Round 8:
Brooklyn is on the front foot, trying to pressure back Kate to the ropes, Upton again showing her toughness though to stick inside, sweat coming off them as they batter their opponent.
A left cross/straight combo to the top of Upton's head pushes her back, Brooklyn busts her lip open with a follow up right across her face as she looks on it right, eyes locked firmly on Kate as she works her into a corner.
Needing to hold onto Decker, Kate has some of her blood dripping onto the right shoulder of Brooklyn, both fighters chests pressed together as Brooklyn is trying to keep Upton from getting her breath back.
Broken apart so they can fight on, Brooklyn only glances the cheek of Kate with a straight as the Lookout! Fighter lashes a counter right to her ribs, Kate showing she is still in this fight as she bumps back her rival with a left forearm, then a right across her face as Brooklyn needs to retreat.
As much as Kate is coming back at Brooklyn, it's still the Ohio girl coming out on top of exchanges in the final moments of the round as she smacks Kate across those cut lips, the round soon enough coming to an end with Brooklyn and Kate both standing in their corners, cheeks are puffy on both fighters, Kate looks the worse for wear as her corner seems to be working more frantically to get her ready for the home stretch.
Round 9:
So far it may arguably be Brooklyn's best performance in the ring, she starts off on the front foot again as she seems to have the measure of Kate, hunting her down with a piston like jab as they move around the ring with Kate's back aimed at the ropes.
When Brooklyn fancies landing a straight into those lips, Kate parries it aside before landing a right into the solar plexus of Decker, who looks winded as she gasps out, a left hook then smacks across the left side of the Lioness fighters head to send sweat with some blood flying.
Momentum has turned as Brooklyn gets clocked with some brutal looking hooks, stumbling towards the ropes as Brooklyn blinks, grabbing onto the charging Upton desperately to stop her, the crowd look stunned as past opponents of both can't believe Kate is still coming so hard.
Pulled apart Brooklyn is trying to stick in with Kate, but she is getting caught out by big hooks, which are forcing her to clinch up more, the left eye of Brooklyn is swelling as the thumb on Kate's glove looks to have caught it, making the fight even harder for her.
The bell seems to be a relief now for Decker, with Claudia looking disbelieving as her fighter holds her stomach as she returns, leaning against the turn buckles to help her get more oxygen back in her body, Brooklyn tells Claudia she'll be OK as she is patched up.
Across the ring Kate is taking in some deep breaths of her own, this has been a truly brutal war for both women, with some satisfied looks on the likes of Taylor Swift at ringside telling you the shape both fighters are in.
Round 10:
Before the bell the referee brings both fighters together, they touch gloves to show respect as they nod to each other, then are back in fight mode as the bell dings to make the final round official.
Brooklyn trying early to get at Kate but smartly Upton is staying on her left side, that swollen eye impairing her vision enough that Kate is landing more clubbing blows across that side of Decker's head to make her stumble away.
A jab smacks Brooklyn on her mouth as they enter the second minute, opening her up to an uppercut that rocks her back, BROOKLYN STUMBLES BACK AND MERCILESSLY KATE LANDS A RIGHT HOOK ON THE JAW THAT TURNS DECKER AROUND BEFORE FALLING TO HER FRONT!
Kate raises her arms in the air as she stares down at the fallen Brooklyn, needing to be ordered twice to go to the neutral corner as she looks lost in her own world, 1...2...3...4.. Brooklyn barely stirs as her right arm moves forwards, 5...6...7.. Groans can be heard, 8... But Brooklyn doesn't seem to have any reserves left, 9...10 getting counted out flat on her face!
Winner and still Queen of the Ice Hotel Kate Upton KO Round 10
After:
An early fight of the year contender right out the gates, Kate falls to her knees looking downright worn out herself, staring at Brooklyn as if wondering if she really did batter her, watching Claudia have to rush in to check her as Nicole comes over to her.
"I did it" says Kate as Nicole kneels down to look at Kate to make sure she didn't get more hurt then they thought in the Lookout! Corner, Nicole is relieved when Kate smiles at her with a few tears of joy, nodding that she was able to beat someone she has so much respect for.
For Brooklyn though it is a bitter defeat, Claudia brings her around and helps her to sit up, tears run down Deckers face, they are certainly not tears of joy as she let this chance to be immortalized in the records of this legendary venue, instead she can only turn to look at Kate with an expression that says "how did you do it?" Not understanding where Kate found that little extra tonight that was the difference.
Both fighters are helped to their feet with Kate coming over to put her right arm around Brooklyn, telling her "you are a hell of a fighter" showing that respect might have taken a backseat in parts of the fight, it is alive and well afterward as they embrace.
Getting helped to their corners as some of the managers applaud their sportsmanship, the fighters all talk about their chances of dethroning Kate with some admitting it will take a herculean effort to get Kate out of this kingdom she has made for herself.
As they are getting fixed up, Kate can be seen saying something to a man in a suit, who heads off somewhere as most don't even notice it except a few eagle eyed people in the crowd, who wonder what that was about.
Both women come to the center of the ring when they have the strength, Brooklyn bows her head to Kate as the winner gets her hand raised, then the crown placed on her head to make it official that she is still the reigning Queen of the Ice Hotel.
Stepping out the ring so Kate can toss out Brooklyn, unlike what usually happens though, Brooklyn is handed her clothes all packed up by the man in the suit, Brooklyn looks a little shocked as Kate instead of forcefully throwing her out, she pats her on the back as she says "look don't get mushy on me but I will forego tossing you on your fat ass" winking at that part.
As they get to the large doors with the crowd nearby behind them, Kate adds "you gave me a hell of a fight and this one time you can leave head held high" stepping up to Brooklyn so they are nose to nose as she continues "if you challenge me again, I won't be as generous" Brooklyn nodding as she backs off this one time.
"You know I will be back here someday to claim that crown, I hope we can do this again" Brooklyn tells Kate with a rye smile, stepping out the hotel with Claudia glad she packed a long fur coat to keep warm outside the doors shut behind the Lioness crew.
While Kate steps back into the hall to sit on her throne for the world to see, the rightful Queen of these hollowed halls, undisputed as the pound for pound best and the woman many see as being the face of the FCBA!

Neither holding back as they step together, drilling punches into the others cheeks, looking for a big right hook that just misses in the early part of the round, eyes locked behind their gloves.
Brooklyn slams a double jab into Kate's face, pushing back the Queen as she steps after her, Kate shows her resilience to come back with a straight onto the nose of Decker to stop her in her tracks, a left cross turning the Lioness fighters head.
Missing with a left cross, Brooklyn now eats an uppercut flush to knock her back a step, A LEFT HOOK CATCHES BROOKLYN ON HER JAW TO SEND HER TO HER KNEES!
Nearly throwing a straight as Brooklyn looks up at her, Kate holds back as the referee warns her to not even try it, Kate jogging to the neutral corner instead, 1...2...3...4.. Brooklyn taps her jaw to make sure it ain't broken, 5...6...7.. Watching the count but also stealing a glance at Kate as if to ask what is going on with her, 8.. Getting up not looking too hurt if a little shaken up, Brooklyn gets the nod to keep going.
Kate stalks after Brooklyn, both slamming single hard punches into the others face, Kate just missing with a big right hook as Brooklyn sees it coming and leans out the way in time, looking thankful when the bell rings to end the round so she can refocus.
Round 6:
Stepping back out her corner staring daggers at Kate, Brooklyn looks to take the fight back to her opponent, but it looks like she has lost her timing, Kate landing the cleaner punches as they fight at midrange, feet planted to generate more power on their punches.
Dipping under a right hook, Kate comes over the top with an overhand left, sweat flies off Brooklyn as she finds herself backed into a corner, Kate finally looking her usual self as she lands more hooks to the sides of Decker.
Holding onto Kate, Brooklyn is looking furious as she tries to shove back Kate with her body, both powerful blondes grappling along the ropes, glisten bodies looking glorious as the referee struggles to break them up.
Split apart Brooklyn comes back hard at Kate now, showing she won't be bullied as they fight on the inside, bumping bodies as it gets scruffy, snarls along with barks can be heard as their fists thud off shoulders and breasts.
Nudging apart at the bell, eyes locked as the referee stays between them, both wanting this badly as blood runs from their nostrils to make them look primal as their bodies are tense, they do return to their corners with any incidents, coaches working on cleaning their fighters up, the crowd fired up as they want both to destroy the other.
Round 7:
Opening up more on each other as they both land hard digs across faces from the off, neither holding back as they trade on the inside, heads nearly clashing as they both land right hooks to the body.
As Brooklyn gets nudged back she lands a left across the cheek of Kate, she steps back out the way of a right cross Upton over extends, A LEFT HOOK TO THE BACK OF KATE'S EAR SENDS HER SPRAWLING TO ALL FOURS!
"Stay down Kate!" Yells Brooklyn as she bends down to say in her ear before being nudged away to the corner, 1...2...3....4.. Kate shakes her head as is muttering something, 5...6.. Punching the canvas before sitting on her heels, 7...8.. Pushing to her feet raising her fists to show she can keep going.
"Bytch" mouths Brooklyn as she comes after Kate, who boxes off the back foot, needing to endure the fury of Decker, who smells blood in the water, getting several good shots through to the face of Upton to knock her back.
The round comes to a close with Kate covering up against the ropes, Brooklyn returning to her corner looking hyped up, Kate wiping the blood from her nose but nods at Brooklyn, Nicole working on patching her fighter up.
Round 8:
Brooklyn is on the front foot, trying to pressure back Kate to the ropes, Upton again showing her toughness though to stick inside, sweat coming off them as they batter their opponent.
A left cross/straight combo to the top of Upton's head pushes her back, Brooklyn busts her lip open with a follow up right across her face as she looks on it right, eyes locked firmly on Kate as she works her into a corner.
Needing to hold onto Decker, Kate has some of her blood dripping onto the right shoulder of Brooklyn, both fighters chests pressed together as Brooklyn is trying to keep Upton from getting her breath back.
Broken apart so they can fight on, Brooklyn only glances the cheek of Kate with a straight as the Lookout! Fighter lashes a counter right to her ribs, Kate showing she is still in this fight as she bumps back her rival with a left forearm, then a right across her face as Brooklyn needs to retreat.
As much as Kate is coming back at Brooklyn, it's still the Ohio girl coming out on top of exchanges in the final moments of the round as she smacks Kate across those cut lips, the round soon enough coming to an end with Brooklyn and Kate both standing in their corners, cheeks are puffy on both fighters, Kate looks the worse for wear as her corner seems to be working more frantically to get her ready for the home stretch.
Round 9:
So far it may arguably be Brooklyn's best performance in the ring, she starts off on the front foot again as she seems to have the measure of Kate, hunting her down with a piston like jab as they move around the ring with Kate's back aimed at the ropes.
When Brooklyn fancies landing a straight into those lips, Kate parries it aside before landing a right into the solar plexus of Decker, who looks winded as she gasps out, a left hook then smacks across the left side of the Lioness fighters head to send sweat with some blood flying.
Momentum has turned as Brooklyn gets clocked with some brutal looking hooks, stumbling towards the ropes as Brooklyn blinks, grabbing onto the charging Upton desperately to stop her, the crowd look stunned as past opponents of both can't believe Kate is still coming so hard.
Pulled apart Brooklyn is trying to stick in with Kate, but she is getting caught out by big hooks, which are forcing her to clinch up more, the left eye of Brooklyn is swelling as the thumb on Kate's glove looks to have caught it, making the fight even harder for her.
The bell seems to be a relief now for Decker, with Claudia looking disbelieving as her fighter holds her stomach as she returns, leaning against the turn buckles to help her get more oxygen back in her body, Brooklyn tells Claudia she'll be OK as she is patched up.
Across the ring Kate is taking in some deep breaths of her own, this has been a truly brutal war for both women, with some satisfied looks on the likes of Taylor Swift at ringside telling you the shape both fighters are in.
Round 10:
Before the bell the referee brings both fighters together, they touch gloves to show respect as they nod to each other, then are back in fight mode as the bell dings to make the final round official.
Brooklyn trying early to get at Kate but smartly Upton is staying on her left side, that swollen eye impairing her vision enough that Kate is landing more clubbing blows across that side of Decker's head to make her stumble away.
A jab smacks Brooklyn on her mouth as they enter the second minute, opening her up to an uppercut that rocks her back, BROOKLYN STUMBLES BACK AND MERCILESSLY KATE LANDS A RIGHT HOOK ON THE JAW THAT TURNS DECKER AROUND BEFORE FALLING TO HER FRONT!

Brooklyn barely stirs as her right arm moves forwards, 5...6...7.. Groans can be heard, 8... But Brooklyn doesn't seem to have any reserves left, 9...10 getting counted out flat on her face!
Winner and still Queen of the Ice Hotel Kate Upton KO Round 10
After:
An early fight of the year contender right out the gates, Kate falls to her knees looking downright worn out herself, staring at Brooklyn as if wondering if she really did batter her, watching Claudia have to rush in to check her as Nicole comes over to her.
"I did it" says Kate as Nicole kneels down to look at Kate to make sure she didn't get more hurt then they thought in the Lookout! Corner, Nicole is relieved when Kate smiles at her with a few tears of joy, nodding that she was able to beat someone she has so much respect for.
For Brooklyn though it is a bitter defeat, Claudia brings her around and helps her to sit up, tears run down Deckers face, they are certainly not tears of joy as she let this chance to be immortalized in the records of this legendary venue, instead she can only turn to look at Kate with an expression that says "how did you do it?" Not understanding where Kate found that little extra tonight that was the difference.
Both fighters are helped to their feet with Kate coming over to put her right arm around Brooklyn, telling her "you are a hell of a fighter" showing that respect might have taken a backseat in parts of the fight, it is alive and well afterward as they embrace.
Getting helped to their corners as some of the managers applaud their sportsmanship, the fighters all talk about their chances of dethroning Kate with some admitting it will take a herculean effort to get Kate out of this kingdom she has made for herself.
As they are getting fixed up, Kate can be seen saying something to a man in a suit, who heads off somewhere as most don't even notice it except a few eagle eyed people in the crowd, who wonder what that was about.
Both women come to the center of the ring when they have the strength, Brooklyn bows her head to Kate as the winner gets her hand raised, then the crown placed on her head to make it official that she is still the reigning Queen of the Ice Hotel.
Stepping out the ring so Kate can toss out Brooklyn, unlike what usually happens though, Brooklyn is handed her clothes all packed up by the man in the suit, Brooklyn looks a little shocked as Kate instead of forcefully throwing her out, she pats her on the back as she says "look don't get mushy on me but I will forego tossing you on your fat ass" winking at that part.
As they get to the large doors with the crowd nearby behind them, Kate adds "you gave me a hell of a fight and this one time you can leave head held high" stepping up to Brooklyn so they are nose to nose as she continues "if you challenge me again, I won't be as generous" Brooklyn nodding as she backs off this one time.
"You know I will be back here someday to claim that crown, I hope we can do this again" Brooklyn tells Kate with a rye smile, stepping out the hotel with Claudia glad she packed a long fur coat to keep warm outside the doors shut behind the Lioness crew.
While Kate steps back into the hall to sit on her throne for the world to see, the rightful Queen of these hollowed halls, undisputed as the pound for pound best and the woman many see as being the face of the FCBA!
