Natalie:
(36, 5’6, 9:9:1 FCBA, Free Agent)


BEFORE:
Emily Ratajkowski set her eyes on avenging the FIRST ever loss in her career, against no other than the lovely Natalie Dormer, recently ‘deceased’ and looking to make a comeback in the ring after her stint on Game of Thrones permanently over.

“I beat Saoirse and then I beat Joanna. Now it’s time to take my revenge on Natalie,” Emily stating confidently to reporters at the pre-fight conference. “I’ve come a long way since my first fight. She fought me when I was still fresh out of the gate. This time, she’s gonna find that I won’t go down so easily!”

Natalie Dormer looking regal as she reclines in her chair, black jumpsuit hugging her body going well with her bright blonde hair. Very casually, she dismisses Emily’s chances, as she did back in 2014.

“Yes dear, but you’re STILL going to go down. It’s been four years since I had you on the ropes, and tonight I guarantee you’re going down the same way, if not FASTER.” 

Ladies are almost ten years apart but it’s impossible to tell the difference when they face off on the podium. Emily in black satin bra and panty ensemble, white gloves to top off that classic look. Natalie stripping off that black jumpsuit of hers to reveal emerald-green fight-bikini, black gloves on either fist. Here we go with ten rounds of Bantamweight action!

ROUND 1:
Hold onto your horses, cos here we go! Dormer moving as though she hasn't left the ring all this time, coming strongly on towards Emily and pressurizing her from the get go. Steady stream of jabs at her head and body as Ratajkowski's forced to scatter early if not face the pain and sores after this fight. Brunette has learnt much in her brief career, that's for certain, parrying Nat’s hands and then sticking her glove into the side of her face once or twice. Still, she can't quite get her rhythm just yet. Dormer however still throwing three times as many as she’s receiving, and so the blonde takes the first round by a comfortable margin.

ROUND 2:
First round’s always sh*t is what they say. Emily warmed up and rearing to engage proper this time, and the two girls meet in the middle for a colossal throwdown. Emily shooting lefts and rights in between Dormer’s guard, lighting up her face, but Dormer herself switching it up a gear, mixes hooks off Emily’s tight body before taking swipes at her chest for good measure, making the Vixen panic and retreat. By the time the bell rings, Emily wondering whether she’s bit of more than she can chew this second time round - Dormer STILL taking the round, but not as easily, receiving some damage herself along the way.

ROUND 3:
C’mon, babe, that's what a stable and focused training camp are for: Emily with that one advantage over Natalie Dormer compared to the last time they met, benefiting from VIXENs cheer support behind her back. Dormer with another charge in, looking to brawl, but Emily’s corner encouraging her to fight better, smarter. She circles and swipes, to the side and back, all the while flicking long jabs into Natalie’s surprised face. That's it, girl! That's how you do it, Emily’s trainers seem to encourage, spurring her on to keep up the pace. By the third minute, Dormer falling apart on the ropes, breathing heavily for the first time. Emily wades inwards and scores a few more unanswered punches to her cheek and body, before the referee signals the end of this round and gets in between them. Obviously, it’s Ratajkowski’s show this time.

ROUND 4:
But boy does either girl want this badly. Natalie doing what she knows, especially when things start looking none-too-rosy for her. She rushes her opponent again, swinging hard. Emily trying to evade like last time but it’s not as easy to dodge a rabid wolf set to sink her teeth in your hide. Ems gets trapped for a moment on the ropes and Natalie starts wailing on her, thinking she can be brought down early… big blows landing on the guard rock her about but don't do much damage except cause her to curse herself for being careless. Dormer equally frustrated, trust us, WHAP WHAP whapping gloves into Emily’s toned midsection until Ratajkowski clinches up and digs her own into the blonde’s tummy. Round ends and both girls are hugging and breathing on shoulder. Natalie certainly did her best to halt the floodgates, but will it be eventually enough to stop her for good?

ROUND 5:
Reaction from the crowd betrays their excitement as the two girls stride forward again to brawl… Both slightly more cautious as they test the long jab to test defences, but blonde and brunette still holding their arms in tight pattern in front of their face. It’s Dormer who initiates a quick exchange: three jab-jab-jabs at the head and then a big SWING aimed high intending to knock a screw loose. But Emily is the one to counter almost at the same time, absorbing the first few blows to the forearms and then sending a STRAIGHT HAND UP into the chin before Dormer could get that hook flying halfway! UGHH!! Natalie’s head pushed back, and then again and AGAIN as Emily advances on her. Vixen lets fly a powerful right hand to the face and Dormer suddenly in trouble when her back hits the ropes! Her nostrils set on fire by the constant barrage, but the blonde is swinging back, definitely. Try as she might though, she can't quite catch that lucky blow off of Emily’s chin. Instead, Ratajkowski evading by keeping her head and body tight in close quarters, then slowly cutting away at the blonde’s guard with more snap uppercuts up into the body and chest. Dormer’s eyes bulging, arms wrapped around her foe’s body at the bell - not a great round for her one bit. 

ROUND 6:
Natalie looking both sapped and sacked, sunshine skin now blemished red and pink in multiple places, giving Emily more target practice as far as the brunette’s concerned. Slower moving Nat can't seem to keep up with the spring in Emily’s step, gets herself hounded with flurries and jabs in the first minute landing consistently into the face. Dormer knocked senseless and the audience wondering how she’s going to continue like this for another two minutes. News flash: she doesn't! Natalie ROCKED by another pair of hooks to either side of the face, sending her crashing down to one side in an apparent KNOCKOUT! 

Hell yeah! from Emily’s corner as she throws up both hands into the air. A sixth round KO over a former foe is certainly nothing to sneeze at, and the Vixen is ecstatic as the referee raises her hand to make it official. Natalie Dormer rolling onto her back and staying there. It’s over!!

Official Decision: Emily Ratajkowski defeats Natalie Dormer via KO6!

AFTER:
Dormer red-eyed, in tears once back in her corner, running through her mistakes in her mind and wondering how she found herself in this unfortunate situation. The blonde certainly started her career strong back in 2013, defeating Alice Eve and Olivia Wilde back in her heyday, and to have fallen now at the hands of a ‘no-talent’ Instagram model must be heartbreaking. 

Still, this same Instagram model who likes to show off her skin is the first one to help her up to her feet, sincere smile on her face as she promises Dormer that they’ll do again someday.

Emily with another step forward in her career, arguably the best Bantamweight prospect to come through VIX’s doors so far. Let's see where she goes from here on out!
