Intro:
Now it's time for the return of Ronda Rousey to pay per view, last time she was on PPV she defeated her opponent tonights friend Hannah Ferguson, can Hilary get revenge on her or will the former UFC champion make it two for two over the blonde and brunette besties?
Both are coming into tonight on the back of wins, Hilary defeated wrestler and personal rival of Ronda in Charlotte Flair, while Ronda defeated her lifetime nemesis Miesha Tate in the boxing ring earlier this month, they want to be in the title hunt with a win here.
Going into this clash, Hilary was asked by Layla Anna-Lee in her stables gym how she felt about this fight, Hilary sitting in her stables office wearing a red dress replies "a little nervous for once, even against Righetti I don't feel so nervous, this is one of the toughest women around, yes the way her UFC career ended was a sad affair, still I can vouch from talking to Hannah that Ronda isn't going to shy away from any hits here in the FCBA, so I need to be at my best" Hilary looking very serious as she talks.
When asked how she feels about Ronda beating Hannah, Hilary replies "look me and Hannah are big girls and we fight our own battles, I know losing to Ronda hurt her because she thought she could knockout her early, the way Ronda acted after annoyed me though, Hannah is going to be one of the greats in the FCBA and Ronda acted as if Hannah was a nobody, now that got under my skin" fists clenched on the desk, Hilary looks ready to lash out now as Layla nods with a worried look, Hilary seeing that smiles to ease the tension as they finish the interview.
Layla finds Ronda doing her job as coach at the Stacey's Academy stable gym, once the session is over she heads over to talk to the reporter, telling her "you know you can always join my classes, hell I could take you to the mats and show you a few judo throws first hand" Layla visibly tenses, before saying she'll have to rain check that idea, making Ronda grin at her.
Asked how it feels to train for a fight and coach other fighters, Ronda answers "honestly it keeps me focused, I worked out with Charlize (Theron) at Chimera and while that was fun, working with these rookies before a training session has me thinking about fighting, I finish the sessions at 5pm then train till 8pm myself, then the cycle continues, it has worked for me clearly" a smile on Ronda's face easing Layla's tension.
The subject then turns to her opponent, Ronda laughs as she replies "the stick? Oh I have heard all the hype around Hilary, see those workout videos and I will give her she looks the part with her abs, it's all for show though, this division has been overrun with pretty models who can all beat each other because frankly they are not real fighters, me? I am the greatest female MMA fighter in history, I eat models for breakfast like Hannah (Ferguson) and now Hilary, I am going to run through her and move closer to winning gold around here" a confident look to Ronda as she has her hands on her hips, looking powerful in her black tank top and tight shorts.
Fight night, out first comes Hilary with coach Rebecca Romijn and cut woman Eva Carneiro, both follow Hilary down the aisle as the model looks deeply serious, wearing a black sports bra with white trim, matching trunks and shoes, white gloves with black thumbs, while her hair is braided.
She climbs into the ring heading straight to her corner, banging her gloves together as she yells "come on!" Seemingly to herself, psyching herself up for what she knows is going to be a war with a machine, Rebecca rubbing her shoulders and arms to keep her loose as they discuss tactics.
Now here comes "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey marching down the aisle with her coach following, she wears a black leather jacket with a red and black tartan kilt like her hero Roddy Piper did, hands taped up as she jogs up the ring steps, eyes staring hard at her opponent as she wipes her boots on the ring apron before getting inside the ring.
The jacket and kilt come off to reveal Ronda is wearing a white sports bra with the orange "rowdy" badge across the front, red trunks with her surname up the sides in silver letters, red boots, along with red gloves put on as her hair is braided too, she paces side to side in her corner.
Coming together at the center of the ring, the height difference is visible to see, still Ronda is pressing right into Hilary to show she isn't afraid, referee needing to shove them apart as they look ready to kill each other judging by the venomous stares, told to touch gloves they hammer theirs into their opponent's with a crack of leather echoing around them, returning to their corners to cheers, the bell rings to start 10 rounds of welterweight action.
Round 1:
Heading towards the center of the ring with a nasty glare being exchanged, Hilary controls the opening moments behind her jab, peppering the forehead of Ronda as she dances on her toes, Ronda looking for ways to move in closer with little feints and moving her head more to dodge.
Leading to Ronda dipping under a straight to land a left hook to the body, then an overhand right grazes the chin of the taller fighter, who backs up as Ronda stays in her face, muscling back the model to the ropes, where Rousey is swinging in short hooks to make Rhoda cover up.
Pushing Ronda back, Hilary moves off the ropes, she is finding it hard though to keep the UFC legend off her, with Ronda deflecting a jab to hammer in one of her own to the abs of Hilary, an uppercut just misses but Hilary has the ropes near her back, forcing her to fight on Ronda's terms.
The Stacey's Academy coach is looking in great shape, pressing Hilary back with most of her punches aimed at the body of Hilary, taking more punches to her face in response as Rhoda starts to see openings as they head into the final thirty seconds of the round.
At the bell it is a strong start from the "Rowdy" one, Ronda jogging back to her stool with a smile on her face, Hilary meanwhile being told off Rebecca to get her butt in gear as she feels Hilary is holding back a little, maybe tense as the fighter just nods in reply.
Round 2:
Coming out looking to keep the momentum on her side, Ronda starts off strong with a double jab into the abs of her opponent, followed by an overhand right to the jaw that knocks the leggy model back a step as Ronda drives forwards.
Shoving back Ronda when her back touches the ropes, Hilary catches her with a one-two square into her face, moving to Ronda's left as she moves away from the ropes, Hilary quickly steps back when Ronda swings in a short right hook to the body, instead it's a Rhoda double jab landing to snap back the head of Rousey.
Starting to get her rhythm going more, Hilary is landing more hooks behind her jab, making Ronda tighten up her guard more as she isn't making as much headway herself now, a one-two lands into the chest of Ronda to make her take a backwards step as Hilary starts to feel more confident.
Maybe too early to do so as Ronda lands an overhand left to the cheek of her opponent, an uppercut to the body makes Hilary hiss out as she is driven back onto the ropes, where Ronda piles on the heat as Hilary has to clinch, the bell soon rings when the referee breaks them up with Ronda certainly not smiling now, staring hard at Hilary before they head back to their corners.
Round 3:
Banging her gloves together to psyche herself up, Ronda again comes out the gates pretty quickly, getting under the jab of Rhoda to land a two straights into the ribs of the model, when Hilary moves back she eats another overhand left from Rousey as that seems the best punch for the shorter fighter right now.
Taking the center of the ring, Ronda is forcing more midrange exchanges, fists flying from both fighters as they knock each other back a step when they land clean, Ronda stepping in more with her punches to add that extra bit of power, which is stopping Hilary from getting on the front foot.
A jab to the body followed by an uppercut sends Hilary into a corner, Ronda quick to strike as she rushes in, banging in two left hooks to the body, Hilary has to hold onto Ronda when the uppercuts start flying in, referee needing to step in to split them apart.
Less then a minute to go Ronda takes a double jab followed by a straight into her face, making her have to retreat back as she got a little too open there, Hilary finally getting on the front foot, Ronda needing to thrust out a jab to try to keep her opponent off her.
At the bell Ronda jogs back to her corner with less tension in her shoulders, both fighters being wiped down as Ronda has some redness forming on her face, Hilary more so starting on her body, the fans mixing "Rowdy" chants with "Rhoda" chants as they are hyped for this.
Round 4:
Trying to grab control more earlier in the round, Hilary slamming more one-two combos into the face of Ronda, who slips a jab to pound in two right hooks to the body, the fighters letting their hands go more in these tighter exchanges, Hilary shoving back Ronda with her left forearm to open up space to work.
After a hectic first forty five seconds, Hilary catches Ronda with a clubbing right to the ear of the former WWE star, Ronda finding herself now being backed off onto the ropes, covering up as Hilary looks to knock her head off her shoulders, then when the punches do come through Ronda clinches up.
Once split apart, Ronda is quick to step in with a right to the chin, pressing back Hilary now across the ring onto the ropes, paying back the model with short digging hooks to the body, getting pulled into a front headlock by Rhoda to stop the assault, broken up by the referee, eyes locked behind their gloves as they wade back in.
Stepping back out the way of a right cross, a counter left slams into the jaw of Ronda, turning her head as Hilary pounds back "Rowdy" onto the ropes, head getting snapped back as Hilary looks to really hurt her, the bell rings with blood running from a cut under the left eye of Rousey as she returned to her corner.
Round 5:
Ronda looks to take the fight back to Hilary, but straight away she is getting caught around that cut with punches into it, making Ronda look a little flustered as she retreats back, with a one-two combo snapping back the head of Rousey.
An uppercut catches Ronda on her chin, she is rocked back onto the ropes! With Ronda eating a follow up right hook on her temple, GUARD COMING DOWN AS HER EYES ARE SHUTTING, ANOTHER RIGHT HOOK TO THE JAW SENDS RONDA SLIDING THE ROPES DOWN TO THE CANVAS!
Hilary is beaming as she jogs to the neutral corner, 1...2...3.. Ronda's gumshield comes out as she lays on her side, 4...5...6... Ronda rolls to her back with her left arm hanging out the ring, she looks oblivious to where she is, 7...8...9...10 it's over! Rousey is counted out!
Winner Hilary Rhoda KO Round 5
After:
Big win for Hilary as she poses in the neutral corner with her arms flexed and a big beautiful smile, Rebecca applauding her from her corner, the winner returning to her corner to a loud cheer from her fans as they stand up.
While the referee with Ronda's coach safely get her into the ring properly, she stirs awake holding her jaw as she is helped onto her stool, the former UFC and WWE champion is checked over as she doesn't seem to fully know what happened.
Helped to her feet, Ronda is led out the ring with help from her coach, going to her checked over in the back to make sure she is OK, Ronda has her head down as much from embarrassment at being beaten by a model then just being hurt, her coach not saying a word as they just look at her with a worried look.
In the ring Hilary gets her right hand raised by the referee after getting cleaned up and her gloves taken off, she blows a kiss to the camera with her left hand with a wink, she then poses for the cameras with Rebecca and Eva either side of her as all three flex as they chuckle.
Before she leaves the ring, Hilary sends a message to her friend Hannah "you better win the title babe, I am betting on you" waving to the camera, heading out the ring to the back, clearly with plans to watch the welterweight title fight tonight with Hannah challenging Kate Upton.
