Before:

“I don’t care that she’s the lightweight champion,” Kendall tells the press, “I’ve beaten Taylor more times than she has and have been so close to getting that title back on multiple occasions. It’s about time somebody ends the reign of the Fates lightweights – I’m sick of them holding the title. And Emily didn’t even deserve that title shot – she lost to Courtney Tailor of all people in January.”

“Whether you like it or not, I’m the champ. Deal with it.” Emily retorts. “But I have to tell you, I have no intention of losing my title to you tonight.”

The two brunettes stare at each other before heading their separate ways until the fight.

Soldier Field gets louder than it had for the previous six fights as Hannah Davis hops onto the microphone for the final fight and for the right for one of these brunette beauties to call herself the FCBA Lightweight Champion.

“And the main event. For the FCBA Lightweight Title. From Los Angeles, California. Standing at 5’10 1/2,” and boasting a record of 42 wins and 13 losses since 2016. She is a former lightweight champion and is the challenger, Kendall Jenner!”

The crowd positively erupts in cheers as the challenger makes her way to the ring where she takes off her robe to reveal her model physique in a simple black sports bra and matching trunks with red gloves. As the crowd noise dies down, Jenner gets herself settled in the ring.

“And her opponent. From Goshen, New York. Standing at 5’10,” with a record of 20 wins and 7 losses since 2017. She is the current FCBA Lightweight Champion, the Goshen Goddess, Emily DiDonato!”

The champ steps out to a thunderous welcome as she makes her way to the ring, a fiery look blazing in her eyes. The champ’s elected for a deep blue bikini set with matching gloves for the event, clearly not afraid to show off her model body. DiDonato takes off the belt and raises it to the sky and the crowd gets even louder. The champ hands poses with the title on the ringpost before handing it off. Jenner gets right into DiDo’s face and the two girls stare coolly at each other as the referee gives final instructions before calling for the bell.

Round 1:

Both tall brunette models get right out of their corners and start circling in the middle of the ring, both women putting their long legs to use, covering the ground effortlessly. Kendall strikes up the offensive tone early, jabbing at Emily’s head with quicker, more powerful punches than Emily is used to, knocking the older girl backwards. There’s a reason Kendall’s an elite fighter – but Emily’s no slouch either and the Sports Illustrated model feints with a hard right and catches Kendall in the ribs. Jenner responds with a right of her own, but the punch barely glances off of DiDonato’s ribs as Emily slips to her right and sticks Kendall right in her mouth. The leggy Kendall retreats, but DiDonato uses her own long legs to stay close to her opponent and launches a straight left that gets Jenner into the ropes. The crowd grows louder as Emily buries two punches right into Kendall’s body, but Jenner comes back with a lightning fast straight out of her guard that forces Emily to back off before Kendall can land another punch. Jenner feints coming out of the ropes but DiDonato predicts it and catches the follow-up before snapping a quick straight of her own into Kendall’s face as the bell rings. An action packed first round goes the way of the champ, Emily DiDonato, on points, wide.

Round 2:

The bell rings and DiDonato is already looking like she’s been through seven rounds. Kendall Jenner wins the second wide, thanks to her knockdown.

Round 3:

Emily nodding her head a lot in her corner as she gets instruction. Kendall meanwhile gets a straightforward talk from lightweight coach Gisele Bundchen – keep doing what you’re doing and you take the title. Both girls rise from their stools and make their way out to the center of the ring where Jenner immediately goes back to the jab, firing off quick, yet powerful punches into DiDo’s guard, with one slipping around the other model’s guard and into DiDo’s chin.

DiDonato takes the blow and comes back with a left punch to Kendall’s ribs and the girls are in close.

DiDonato bounces off the ropes but gets snookered by a right form Jenner as the challenger forces the champ back into the ropes and digs two rights into her torso as Emily gasps as she wraps up Kendall.

Kendall with a blank look on her face as Emily bashes a left into her chin, sending the challenger stumbling backwards.

Round 10:

DiDonato and Jenner draw on their last reserves of strength, their faces showing the toll of the previous nine rounds as they get out of their corners. From the get-go, Kendall is on the defensive, knowing that Emily will have to be the one pushing hard to win, and the SI model charges forwards, firing off punches left and right and battering Jenner’s guard. Kendall takes a big step backwards to get some space and as soon as Emily steps forward, she shoots out a right that Emily barely blocks in time. Jenner may well hold the lead, but she doesn’t want to hang back and just let DiDonato launch punches all day. Kendall sidesteps to her right, uncorks a punch to Emily’s ribs, steps right again, and BAM! DiDonato snaps Jenner’s head backwards with a right off the predicted move, and the champ thumps Kendall’s body with two big punches that make the challenger squirm as a follow up. Jenner retreats backwards as DiDo chases after her, knowing that time is of the essence. Kendall sets up her guard as Emily feints with her left to Jenner’s head and hits Jenner in her ribs with a right and Kendall shouts in agony! DiDonato smashes a hard straight left through Kendall’s guard. Jenner’s arms flare out as DiDonato’s blow forces them apart and Emily follows up with one, two, three big straight rights to Kendall’s face AND DOWN GOES JENNER! Emily moves to the corner as the ref starts to count over a dazed Kendall. One. Two. Alessandra Ambrosio is screaming at Kendall to get up. Jenner picks her head off the mat and shakes it at three. The crowd growing louder, half cheering for Kendall to get up, the other half for her to stay down. The ref counts out four. Five. Kendall makes her way to her hands and knees, crawling a couple inches forward to reach out for the ropes. At six, Jenner starts reaching out for the ropes, but she’s just short. She leans forwards – and smacks the canvas face-first as the ref counts seven! Kendall rolls onto her back but she’s trying to will herself onto her belly. Eight. Nine. Jenner gathering all of her strength as she gets back up to all fours. Ten! Jenner can’t beat the count and your winner by KO10 AND STILL LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION, EMILY DIDONATO!

After:

Emily celebrates her come from behind victory as the question continues to be: who will end the lightweight title reign of the Fates fighters? DiDonato’s win means she’ll be defending her title two weeks from today against Alexis Ren, and while there hasn’t been much word out of the VIX camp about it, it doesn’t take a genius to guess that they were probably watching the match and watched plenty of tape on both girls before tonight so they could talk over strategy with Alexis tomorrow.

DiDonato gets her title back and hoists it up into the air, waving to the crowd before going over to check on Jenner. The two exchange a couple of words before Emily goes over to Hannah Davis for the final interview.

“Talk about a come-from-behind victory, Emily! How does it feel to beat Kendall?” Hannah asks.

“Well, I think everyone thought I was the underdog heading into the fight tonight.” Emily pants, “Kendall had me for a long time. But I won, and I’m not going to complain about that.” DiDonato smiles.

“Well, we know your next opponent is going to be Alexis Ren. How do you feel about that match?” Davis prods the champ.

“Hey, Alexis is a great fighter, and I’m looking forward to facing her at the end of the month.” Emily responds.

“Well, once again, congrats on the win, and that’s a wrap from us here tonight from the Fates Spring Fling! A special thank you to Chimera, Front Street Boxing, the Lioness Club, Girls Friday, Lookout, Knockout Babes, and Sceej for joining us tonight. We’ll see you at the next Fates PPV!"
