In the moments after Monica The Magnificent defeated Madison Sex-Kitten to retain her Bikini Boxing Championship, Monica is slowly walking back to the locker room, when she’s confronted by Brandi Passante.
“Well, well, well, look who we have here, it’s Monica The Magnificent. You know you’re extremely lucky to still be champion. That type of bullshit finish wouldn’t have happened if you were facing me.”
“What do you want, Brandi?” Monica asks, more than a little annoyed.
“I’m officially challenging you, you’re the type of competition I’d love to face. What do you say? Do you accept?”
“I accept, and I’ll kick your ass like the rest of the girls.” Monica says, shaking Brandi’s hand and quickly walking away.
The next day, both women are in my office, arguing.
“Listen, ladies, the fight is this Saturday night, it’ll be 12-rounds, and, yes, Brandi, it’ll be for the Bikini Boxing championship. We’ll have a press conference, weigh-in and contract signing tomorrow night, so, get out of here and get ready.” I say to the both of them.
The next night rolls around, and the press room is filled with reporters for the much anticipated press conference.
Ring announcer Karen Rogers steps up to the podium.
“Ladies & gentlemen! Welcome to tonight’s exciting press conference and weigh-in for tomorrow night’s main event between Bikini Boxing champion Monica The Magnificent and challenger WEC FightGirl Champion Brandi Passante.
“Without further delay, let’s start with the weigh-in/contract signing.
“Introducing first, she’s the challenger, she’s from San Diego, California...she is the reigning WEC FightGirl champion...please welcome...Brandi Passante.”
Brandi comes walking on stage, accompanied by her corner staff, and wearing a pink sports bra, and blue jeans, she takes the jeans off and steps on the scale.
“120.5 for Brandi Passante!” Karen yells, as Brandi flexes for press, she puts her jeans back on, signs the contract, and heads for the area where the stare down will be.
“Next is the champion...she’s from Spain...she is the reigning & defending WEC Bikini Boxing champion...please welcome...Monica The Magnificent.”
Monica comes walking on stage, wearing a black sports bra and black shorts. She removes her shorts and steps on the scale.
“119.75 for Monica The Magnificent!” Karen yells, and Monica flexes for the press as well. Monica puts her shorts back on and meets Brandi for the stare down.
Both women have there stare down, but, Brandi looks like she wants to punch Monica’s lights out, several times I had to keep them two separated.
Finally, the stare down is over and both women go to their podiums for the press conference.
“Monica, the first question is for you...what do you think about accepting a challenge for an MMA fight from an old rival?” An all too familiar female voice says.
Monica looks up and sees Patricia looking square in her eyes.
“What do you say? Do you accept, bitch?” Patricia asks.
“Steve? Make the match happen, now, get this trash out of my sight.” Monica, motioning for security to escort Patricia out of the building.
Patricia manages to throw a bottle of water at Monica before she leaves.
Once things settle down, the press conference continues.
“Brandi...first question is for you. It’s no secret that you competed in many fighting tournaments when you were younger. Do you think any of that has prepared you for possibly the toughest boxing match of your career?”
“I think it has, not many people know, I only lost once in my boxing/MMA career. I’ve held many titles in my career, and, tomorrow night, I’ll add the Bikini Boxing championship to my collection.” Brandi says, blowing a kiss toward Monica. Monica has to be restrained from going after Brandi.
“Monica, next question for you, what, if anything, do you have to say to Brandi now that you’re a mere 24 hours away from this ultimate showdown?”
“What do I have to say to her? ‘Prepare to lose, bitch!’ That about sums it up.”
“Brandi? Same question to you, do you have anything to say to Monica?”
“Simply put: ‘Sorry about your damn luck...’ Tomorrow night, I’ll have a title for my other shoulder.”
Monica once again has to be restrained from going after Brandi.
“Aw! Am I getting under your skin, Monica? Get a good look at my face, Monica. Tomorrow night, the glare from the lights when you’re looking up from the canvas may obscure my face. I want you to look into the eyes of the woman who is going to take your precious title. As I said earlier: ‘Sorry about your damn luck!’ “ Brandi says, blowing one more kiss to Monica, and calmly she walks away.
Security is still struggling to restrain Monica.
After several tense minutes, Monica settles down.
Karen Rogers comes back on the stage.
“Thank you, ladies & gentlemen for attending tonight’s press conference. Please join us here tomorrow night for this huge main event.”
Tomorrow night rolls around, and the WEC Arena is filled to capacity.
Ringside commentator Chuck is once again joined by myself and my assistant WEC Bikini Contest Champion Brooke Wylde.
“Steve, Brooke welcome to the ringside announce position.”
“The pleasure is all ours, Chuck, as usual.” I say, cutting Brooke off before she can say something snarky.
“Well, Alicia Vitarelli is standing by backstage with the challenger, Brandi Passante! Take it away, Alicia!” Chuck says.
“Thank you, Chuck. Brandi, and I know you & I have had a history as well. With that being said, what is going through your mind heading into the biggest fight of your career?”
“Alicia...pretty little Alicia. You never out grew being that perky little cheerleader, did you? Maybe I need to break that perfect little nose of yours again. You want to know what’s going through my mind? Knocking little Miss Monica the fuck out, then I’ll focus on you and your World Championship...nice talking to you, Alicia.” Brandi says, blowing a kiss toward Alicia.
“Chuck, back to you.” Alicia says, looking angry.
“Steve, it looks like Brandi is setting her sights on Alicia and the World Championship. But, you have a big announcement about the World Championship.”
“That’s right, Chuck, I do. Alicia Vitarelli will be defending against the New Erotic Angels Champion Cassandra Caufield.” I say.
“That’s huge news! Speaking of Alicia, she’s standing by backstage with the Champion, Monica The Magnificent.”
“Thanks again, Chuck. Monica, does it concern you at all that Brandi doesn’t seem to be taking you seriously?”
“Brandi, you better stop worrying about Alicia and start worrying about me. I’ll dim your lights real quick, bitch.” Monica says, walking away.
“Well, the backstage interviews are done, let’s send it up to the ring for the entrances and introductions.”
Brandi enters first, accompanied by her corner crew, and she’s wearing a gold & silver colored bikini. She enters the ring and goes straight to her corner.

Because you’re too worried about that stupid airhead, Alicia. And that Cassandra, or whatever her name is, I could kick her ass in 5 seconds. Give me my next opponent, Steve!” Brooke says, getting right in my face.
“You want you next opponent so badly? Here we go, you’ll defend you Bikini Contest title against...Cory Chase. Satisfied? Now, go to the back, you’re no longer needed out here.” I say, dismissing Brooke.
“You did a good job that round, Brandi, that’s what you need to do, keep her off balance, keep using your jab and you’ll win this fight.”
