The fighters were interviewed by Denise Van Outen in the build up to the fight, with them doing separate interviews on the set of the BBU network.

Jourdan was asked how confident she feels going into this tournament after losing her last fight to Martha Hunt, Jourdan doesn't look impressed and replies "it doesn't matter, that was one bad night, something that won't happen again"

When asked about her feelings on Melissa, Jourdan answers "she is a good fighter but she is just a roadblock to my title shot"

Any message to the other fighters in the tournament is met with "I'll let my fists do the talking for me as they have since I stepped into the ring"

Melissa is happy to talk to Denise about her chances in the tournament, telling her "I see former champions and top contenders but I am better then all of them, only Petra (Nemcova) beat me and that was just a lucky punch"

When asked about Jourdan, she replies "she has proven to be a bottler as you Brits say, she should have won the title against Joan (Smalls) she failed miserable as she did against Martha Hunt, once I pressure her she'll wilt"

Melissa tells her future rivals "they'll be bowing down to me by the end of the tournament" smiling as she stands up and shakes Denise's hand.

After:
First fight of the tournament and it was an explosive battle, Melissa heads over to Jourdan and screams at her "pitiful bytch!" Before spitting on her.

Denise is quickly out her corner to shove Melissa as a brawl nearly breaks out between them, if not for the intervention of Henry to stand in front of his fighter to get her back to her corner.

Jourdan has rolled to her back with her focus seeming to be on catching her breath, Denise kneels down to check on her but looks upset about seeing her lose again.

As soon as Jourdan feels OK; she is helped to stand, though she is holding her gut as she heads over to her corner to be cleaned up.

Meanwhile across the ring Melissa is grinning as Henry tells her how proud he is, she gets her gloves taken off and gives him a massive hug to his delight.

When it comes time for the announcement, Jourdan instead leaves the rings to a few boos, while Melissa shouts "run away little girl" which considering Jourdan is over 6 foot is a hell of a taunt to make.

Melissa gets her hand raised and puts up her index finger on her other hand to show that's 1 down, plenty more challenges stand in her way of getting a title shot.

But as she leaves the ring after thanking the fans, the Sirens stable must know that this is a big step to that tournament title, Jourdan is far from an average fighter and Melissa sent a strong message with this stoppage.
