It’s the night after one of the biggest lopsided beatings I’ve ever witnessed. (For those who don’t know, please read Ivanna vs. Monica The Magnificent 2, already posted) And I now know I have a huge problem on my hands, Monica is already calling me demanding one more match with Ivanna, and I understand that Ivanna is on her way to my office, presumably to ask for the same thing.
For those who don’t know, my name is Steve, and I’m the owner and president of this promotion called the Women’s Extreme Championship or WEC for short.
A second later, my office door opens and in walks Ivanna.
“Ivanna! Congratulations on your victory, have a seat, we need to talk.” I say, pointing to a chair.
“Ok, Mr. Steve, what do you want to talk about?” She says, sitting down and crossing her legs
“I want to talk about Monica, she’s asking for her final rematch against you.” I say, looking Ivanna square in the eyes.
“Perfect,” Ivanna says, “I want that bitch again anyway.” Ivanna says, smiling.
“I wouldn’t smile to brightly, Monica asked for a consideration, you’ll get to ask for one as well, I’m granting Monica’s consideration.”
Ivanna looked furious. “What is that bitch asking for?”
“She wants a 5-round MMA match, and as I said, I’m granting it. Now, you’ll get one consideration as well, so, what would you like?”
Ivanna’s face, if at all possible, became even more angry.
“I want...the loser must kiss the winner’s feet and admit that the winner is the better fighter, and since I’ll be the one who’ll win, that bitch must admit that I’m the true Goddess in the ring, not her.” Ivanna says, still looking angry.
“Very well, I’ll grant that as well. Now, the MMA match will be next Saturday, be here one night before, and there will be a weigh-in and press conference, and the night after, you two WILL sign your new contracts vowing to stay away from each other. Excuse me now, Ivanna, I have to inform Monica of all of this.”
Ivanna gets up, looking really angry and actually slams the door to my office on her way out.
I sit back in my chair and call Monica...
“Monica? It’s all been settled, you’ll get your MMA match, but, Ivanna has a consideration as well, the loser must kiss the winners feet, if you win, she’ll admit that you’re the better fighter, if she wins, you must admit that she is the true Goddess of the ring. The match is next Saturday, you’ll be here one night before for the weigh-in and press conference, and the night after will be another press conference where you two will sign your new contracts vowing to never have contact with each oter ever again. Ok...see you here next Friday night...bye.” I say, hanging up the phone.
Finally it’s Friday night, the night before the big fight, and the media room is packed with reporters from all around the world.
I step up to the podium, interested to get things started.
“Good evening ladies & gentlemen, and welcome to the special weigh-in & press conference for tomorrow nights main event. Now, allow me to hand it over to tomorrow night’s ring announcer, Karen Rogers.”
Karen comes walking up on stage, microphone in hand.
“Ok, ladies and gentlemen...” She says, “...let’s start with the weigh-in, first, please welcome...MONICA THE MAGNIFICENT...”
Monica comes walking out, wearing a pink t-shirt and light blue jeans.
Monica strips down to her black sports bra and panties and steps on the scale.
I stand there a moment to let the scale even out.
“110.5 for Monica The Magnificent.” I yell out.
Monica quickly puts her jeans on and goes and and stands at her podium for the press conference.
“Next…” Karen says. “…please welcome ‘The Queen Of The Bikini Contest’…IVANNA!”
Ivanna comes out wearing a black t-shirt and matching jeans, she quickly strips down to a yellow sports bra and matching panties and she steps on the scale.
I stand there waiting for it to even out...
“110 for Ivanna...” I shout out.
Ivanna puts her jeans back on and stands at her podium for the press conference.
Karen steps off the stage and hands me the microphone.
“Ok, ladies, this is how it’ll work, a question will be asked, the person asked the question will respond, please, remain calm, I do not want to have to suspend someone after this fight, ok...first question...”
I point to a reporter in the backrow.
“Thank you, Monica, this question is for you, why is there so much hatred between you two? Can you please shed a light on that for us.” The reporter asks.
“It’s simple, Ivanna stole my boyfriend, I thought I shut her up when we fought in Spain, but then she upstages me when she beat Alicia, and of course she’s always in the locker room running her mouth, I just want to shut her mouth once and for all.” Monica, glaring a hole through Ivanna.
“Next question...” I say, pointing to a lady in the front row...
“Ivanna, there is no footage of your first fight, but, we understand you lost badly, but, your second, you won easily, do you think you can keep the momentum going into this third and final fight?”
“Monica is no match for the kind of fighter I am, that first fight, she jumped me from behind, the second fight, I did the same to her, now this third fight, I’ll show what a truly superior fighter I truly am, tomorrow night, I mop the floor with this...this...so called woman...”
And with that, Monica and Ivanna are face to face, pushing and shoving.
After about 5 minutes, order is restored.
I bring both ladies for one final photo op and stare down.
To my surprise they remain calm and there is no more pushing and shoving.
“That’s it, ladies and gentlemen, please join us here tomorrow night on PPV.” I yell as both women are ushered off stage.
Saturday night approaches, and both women are in their locker rooms getting ready, I first stop in to see Monica The Magnificent.
“Monica? How are you feeling? You ready for tonight?” I ask, putting my hands on her shoulders.
“I’m ready to kick her ass, Mr. Steve!” She says, as she gets her fists taped up.
“Ok, well, give me a good showing, ok? And just so you know, I’ll be out there at the announce table again, so, behave yourself.” I say, quickly leaving her locker room.
I quickly enter the locker room of Ivanna.
“Ivanna? You ready for tonight? You look ready.” I say, again putting my hands on her shoulders.
“I’m ready, Mr. Steve. Tonight I destroy Monica.” Ivanna says, locking eyes with me.
“Ok, give me a good showing tonight, and just so you know, I’ll be at the announce table tonight, so, behave yourself tonight.” I say, quickly leaving her locker room.
I leave the locker room area and head out to ringside, and join the announce team.
“And once again we welcome the owner and president of the WEC, please welcome...Steve, Steve always a pleasure to have you join us.” Chuck says.
“The pleasure is all mine, Chuck.” I say, sitting down and putting on a headset.
“Steve, tell us and the viewing audience your thoughts on tonight’s match up.” Chuck asks.
“Well, Chuck, this will be the 3rd time I’ve seen these two fight, and I expect nothing less than a knock down drag out fight, both of these women hate each other, and it’ll be hard to predict a winner.”
“But, you know I’m going to put you on the spot, predict a winner for me, Steve?”
“If I absolutely have to pick a winner, I’ll have to go with Monica, she’s just plain old tough.” I say, although I don’t feel good about it.
“Ok, sounds good, let’s go up to ring announcer Karen Rogers, it’s time for out main event.” Chuck says.
Monica The Magnificent comes out first, wearing a purple sports bra and matching shorts, and she has her hair tied back in a ponytail. She gets inspected cage side, hugs her corner crew, receives her mouth piece and enters the octagon.
Ivanna enters next, wearing a red sports bra and matching shorts, and she as well has her hair tied in a ponytail. She gets inspected cage side, hugs her corner crew, receives her mouth piece and enters the octagon.
Both women stand in their corners as ring announcer Karen Rogers enters the octagon to make the introductions.
“Good evening ladies & gentlemen, and once again welcome to the WEC arena for tonight’s main event, 5-rounds of action right here in the octagon.
“Introducing first, fighting out of the blue corner, she’s dressed in all purple. She comes to us from Spain, and she weighs 110.5 lbs. Please welcome...MONICA THE MAGNIFICENT.”
Monica waves to the crowd.
“Her opponent, fighting out of the red corner, and she’s dressed in all red, and she also comes to us from Spain, and she weighs in at an even 110 lbs. Please welcome the ‘Queen Of The Bikini Contest’...IVANNA.”
Ivanna barely acknowledges the crowd.
The referee brings both women to the center of the ring for final instructions.
Monica has not taken her eyes off of Ivanna.
Both women begin jawing back and forth, and Ivanna shoves Monica, and both women nearly come to blows and have to be separated by there corner staff.
They’re finally back to their corners, the horn sounds and both women come out. Monica charges at Ivanna, and immediately back her against the cage and begins unloading on Ivanna. Ivanna tries to cover up, but, it’s no use as punch after punch gets through, dropping Ivanna to one knee. Ivanna fires off a punch into Monica’s midsection, making her back up a couple of steps.
This give Ivanna enough time to get back to her feet, it seems that Monica has punched herself out, she can barely lift her arms, but, Ivanna is a little loopy as well, as she barely connects with a back hand punch.
Just then the horm sounds, ending round one.
Both women have to be separated after the horn sounds.
Quickly both women are back to their corners.
“Great start to the fight so far, Monica, keep it up, and you’ll easily win this fight.”
“Get your head out of your ass, Ivanna. You did all that talking during the press conference and you get your ass kicked to start the fight. Get it together, or, it’ll be a short night for you.”
Both women are on their feet for round 2.
The horn sounds, and this time, Ivanna comes out charging, backing Monica against the cage, eventually taking Monica down to the mat.
Ivanna quickly begins raining down hard elbow shots, some are getting through, but, Monica is doing a good job covering up. After a minute of this, Monica is able to push Ivanna off of her.
Both women are back on their feet, and Ivanna once again charges, and gets Monica back against the cage and the lock up. Ivanna begins stomping on Monica’s feet.
Monica shoves Ivanna off of her, and the horn sounds, ending round 2.
“Better job that last round, keep it up and we may be able to pull this fight out.”
“You took a step back that round, Ivanna was able to impose her will, go back out there and dominate this round, right now it’s tied, one round a piece. Keep your head in the game...”
Both women are on their feet for round 3.
The horn sounds, and this time Monica charges Ivanna, and they lock up against the cage, with no effort at all, Monica hip tosses Ivanna over, sending her crashing down to the mat. Quickly Monica is on top of Ivanna, landing elbow after elbow, opening a cut under Ivanna’s left eye.
But, somehow, Ivanna is able to power Monica off of her.
Both women are back on their feet and now they’re exchanging right hands, hard right hands. Monica starts getting the better of the exchange, and now has Ivanna backed against the cage. Monica begins hitting her with rights and lefts to the body and face.
Just then, the horn sounds, ending round 3.
Ivanna stumbles to her corner.
“Ivanna? Come on, get it together, you lost that round, you need to get your head in the game. Go out and win this round and we’re right back in this fight.”
“Great job that round, Monica, you’re up 2-1 in this fight, win this round and and you’ll win the fight. Go out there and win, Monica.”
Both women are on their feet for round 4.
The horn sounds and both women come out fighting.
Ivanna scores first with a stiff kick to Monica’s side, followed up by a takedown, which is successful.

With both women back on their feet, Monica tries to charge in, but catches a right hand from Ivanna, making her back up a few steps, Ivanna tries for another takedown, and is again successful.
And now Ivanna passes Monica’s guard and just begins landing hammer fist shots to Monica’s face.
Just then, the horn sounds, ending round 4.
This time it’s Monica who stumbles to her corner.
“You have one round left, Monica, you need to put it together, best case scenario right now you’ve only won 2 rounds while she’s won 2 rounds, it’ll all be decided by this 5th round, go out there and finish this fight.”
“Great job that round, you have her on the ropes, go out there and finish her.”
Both women are on there feet for round 5.
The horn sounds, and both women begin going toe to toe in the middle of the ring, Monica scores first with a big back hand shot which hits Ivanna square in the temple. Ivanna answers back with a roundhouse punch, that makes Monica back up a few steps.
Ivanna then backs Monica against the cage, and just begins teeing off on her, a relentless assault of rights and lefts.
That goes on for about a minute, finally it’s Monica’s turn and she backs Ivanna against the cage, and she begins with her assault, these two are really going at it.
Monica seems to have punched herself out, and backs off a little, Ivanna seizes the opportunity and and takes flight with a flying knee which connects with Monica’s jaw, knocking her out instantly.
She falls to the matt and the referee calls for the bell, and Ivanna is declared the winner.
The doctors instantly enter the cage to check on Monica.
As Ivanna runs around the cage celebrating.
After a few minutes, the referee sets a chair in the middle of the octagon, as Monica is back on her feet.
Ivanna sits in the chair, as the referee hands Monica the microphone.
In a barely audible voice, Monica mutters out: “You’re the true Goddess of the ring...”
Then Monica quickly drops to her knees and kisses both of Ivanna’s feet, and quickly leaves the cage.
Ivanna stays a few minutes longer, celebrating
