Before: “I was surprised when they told me Rachel McAdams wanted to fight me,” Daisy Ridley tells the press at the pre-fight gathering. “She is such a great fighter and I haven’t even had 10 fights yet. I will certainly do my best against her. I hope the fans will be pleased with my efforts.”
At the podium, Rachel explains: “I giving up 3 inches to Daisy and she is undefeated in 7 fights. She’s beaten Laura Vandervoort and Eliza Dushku in her last two fights. Neither of them is an easy opponent. She is serious challenge within the bantam division and I would rather fight her sooner than later. I am sure she will do her best against me. I will promise her that I will bring my best to the fight.”
Daisy is so pleased that she jumps out of her seat and hugs Rachel, Rachel looks startled.
“Really, Miss Ridley,” Rachel manages to say, ”it’s all right to hug an opponent, but you are supposed to do it AFTER the fight.”
Daisy becomes red with embarrassment as she backs off: “I’m so sorry, I’ve had to listen to a lot of trash talk from opponents. It’s just so refreshing not to be insulted in a prefight. I just had to thank you. I didn’t mean to embarrass you.”
Rachel laughs: “My dear, I have had so many prefights that ended in clothes ripping and hair pulling—I assure you I can survive a hug,”
The crowd laughs as Daisy continues to blush. Rachel comes over and gives her hug.
“Of course, I am still going to knock your cute block off,” Rachel whispers with a smile
“I will do my utmost to put that rather shapely derriere of yours on the canvas,” Daisy says developing a smile.
“That’s more like it, my dear,” Rachel says, “it just wouldn’t be an FCBA prefight without at least some trash talk. You are clearly learning quickly.”
With another laugh the veteran and the rookie shake hands (another seldom-seen sight at an FCBA pre-fight presser). Then they take their separate exits from the stage.
