The stage is set for a huge title unification bout, as KOA Champion, Madison Sex-Kitten defends her title against WEC MMA Champion Destiny Dumon, both titles are on the line in this match up.
This is the 3rd time for them to meet, Destiny won the 1st meeting in controversial fashion during the KOA Tournament, Madison won the 2nd meeting decisively, knocking Destiny out in the 3rd round. Now this is the 3rd and final meeting between these two.
The winner of this match will be the 1st WEC Unified MMA champion, and for Destiny, she’ll get one more crack at Brandi Passante.
As usual, I join Chuck at the announce position, but a little change, we’re joined by my new girlfriend, Alicia Vitarelli.
“Steve, Alicia, this is certainly a pleasure to have you two joining us tonight.”
“Chuck, this is a treat for me as well, having the beautiful Alicia join us. How do you feel, Alicia?”
“This is a little bit different than being the backstage interviewer, but, I’ll get used to it.” She says, with a smile on her face.
I lean over and kiss Alicia before sitting down at the announce desk.
“OK, well, Samantha Ponder is backstage with MMA Champion Destiny Dumon...Sam?”
“Thank you, Chuck. Destiny, the last two times you faced Madison, they were pretty one sided in favor of Madison, what can you do to change that in your final meeting with her?”
“Sam, the last two times I faced Madison, I was in a different place than I am now, I was getting used to life in the WEC, now I’m ready to face Madison, and if I’m dealt yet another defeat, so be it, but, let me tell you, I’m not going to resort to a low blow to achieve my victory, not like before. I’m going to earn my victory, if I get a victory tonight.” Destiny says, walking away.
“Thank you, Destiny! Chuck, back to you.”
Destiny starts making her way to the ring, she’s accompanied by her corner crew, and she’s wearing a light pink sports bra and white shorts. She gets inspected cage side, receives her mouth piece and enters the octagon.
“Thank you, Sam. Steve, what are your thoughts on Destiny Dumon?”
“Chuck, I was all wrong about Destiny Dumon. When she first entered the WEC, she was all brash and attitude, and she couldn’t back it up and she slid further down the card. Now she’s improved herself greatly and she’s on the verge of doing something great in the WEC.”
“Ok, with that being said, Samantha is standing by backstage with KOA Champion Madison Sex-Kitten...Sam?”
“Thank you, Chuck. Madison, as I asked Destiny, this is your 3rd time facing her, what can you do to ensure another victory for yourself?”
“Sam, the two times I faced Destiny in the octagon, let’s face facts, I should be 2-0, if it wasn’t for a low blow by Destiny in our 1st meeting, I would be 2-0, but, no matter, I proved her victory was a fluke by knocking har ass out in the 3rd round of our 2nd meeting. And now, tonight, our 3rd and final meeting. Destiny...prepare to be looking up at the lights again!” Madison says, walking away.
“Thank you, Madison! Chuck, back to you.”
Madison heads to the ring, accompanied by her corner crew, and wearing a yellow sports bra and black shorts.
She gets inspected cage side, receives her mouth piece and enters the octagon.
“Steve, what are your thoughts on Madison?” Chuck asks.
“Chuck, Madison feels like she was robbed in the KOA tournament by Destiny. And it’s hard to argue with her. Hopefully, tonight will bring some closure for them both.
Once both women are in their respective corners, ring announcer Karen Rogers enters the octagon to make the formal introductions.
