Ming Xi vs Raica Oliveira
(1-3, 1 KO vs 1-1, 1 KO)
Results: BBU; Story: Vassago

BEFORE: Ming Xi is more than qualified to make a major career breakthrough but she needs that signature result to finally get off the mark. MGM Macau hosts the Chinese supermodel's next challenge and it's a tough one as fellow swimsuit model Raica Oliveira looks to bounce back in style following a tricky defeat to Pia Miller on the December PPV.

Both girls could use a big win tonight and it's a high-risk, high-reward match-up according to BBU TV's Charlie Webster who reports from the Macau casino resort. Ming has knocked out fellow Chinese model Sui He last June but she needs those big names to fall on her resume sooner rather than later. Sharing Victoria's Secret catwalk with Kendall Jenner or Gigi Hadid can only add as much profit until you start to hit it out in the ring as well.

Oliveira steals the entrance as Ming looks a little nervous in front of 7,000 people in the audience but once the crowd begins to chant Ming's name, she actually affords herself a quick smile and we're ready to go shortly afterwards.

Ming Xi wears a red bikini set with black trim & yellow gloves. Long black hair tied in a sleek ponytail. Raica Oliveira wears a black lace corset & red gloves. Long dark brown hair tied in a sleek ponytail. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the lightweight division.

Round 1:
Both models struggle to make an early impact but Raica's more committed of the two as she delivers a speedy jabbing route to wobble the Chinese heroine onto her heels following a quick strike on the nose. Ming's response is a little half-hearted and she bounces off the fellow brunette's guard which only invites Raica into more slugging action. The Brazilian makes the most of that as she pummels the ineffective Chinese around the ring before blasting her with a vicious cross on the left eye. Ugh! Ming tails off onto the ropes and suddenly begins to leak punches like skittles when Oliveira nukes her from point-blank range! She dissect the shaky guard and bounces off the younger model's cheeks while sinking her on soft knees and signs off her burst with a belting shot on the liver that bends Ming into spasms right at the bell.

Round 2:
More quick-fire assault from the Brazilian who dwarfs the Chinese resistance with brutally effective jabs that slump the guard and allow Raica to snap Ming's head back repeatedly during the initial tangle. Ming responds with a looping drive but keeps missing the target and has little to offer when Oliviera cranks it up to punish her midsection come the second minute. Raica drives her shots up the gut and wobbles the Chinese model backwards until she has to yield real estate wholesale and bolts for the ropes. Oliveira can't quite track her down there but the reeling display meets a jeering reaction from the audience who didn't pay all that money to see Ming bullied around like that! Raica offers the spooked rival a cheeky smile and taunts her into a proper response but Ming refuses to bite on it and runs the clock down in defensive circles.

Round 3:
Asians usually show very little emotions even during a BBU-sanctioned fight so Ming's laid-back approach doesn't tell the whole story but Raica gets lured into another aggressive attack only to find the Chinese girl blasting her on the fly as she delivers the overhand drill to smack the Brazilian babe on the mouth! Ugh! Ming suddenly ups the tempo and crashes into Oliveira's nose before adding a jug-busting hook that removes some air from her lungs! Raica wobbles forward but still tries to catch Ming on the temple alas the local favorite is quicker to the punch and scythes the older brunette across the nose one more time... And RAICA HITS THE DECK FACE-DOWN having lost her balance alltogether!!! What a shocking turnaround here in Macau! Ming calmly struts back to her corner while Raica gets up ever-so-fast at five and indicates she slipped all on her own despite clear cut evidence speaking against it! Whatever, she wants immediate revenge and leaps at the hitherto reeling brunette only to soak up more facial abuse as Ming suddenly opens from both flanks and piles ruthless hooks into the Brazilian's pretty face. She rocks the arrogant Latina with a nasty one-two drive and drops her into a tight earmuff before driving more leather into her gut and blasting her back to the ropes where Oliveira simply wilts under the high-octane barrage only for the bell to rescue her at the last moment!

Round 4:
Raica is absolutely furious as she leaps into an aggressive pursuit but Ming stands tall and beats the hectic Brazilian for more overhands that soon begin to pile against the Latina's face! Ugh! A nasty cut appears above the left eye but Ming is sold on bashing the fellow model's lips as well and rocks her head back & forth in the process. She wins the opening slugfest and BELTS Oliveira on the exposed liver area thereafter to sink the targeted model into instant spasms. Huh! Raica didn't see that coming and stumbles back to the ropes but Ming's all over her and NAILS her with another cruel hook on the nose THAT DROPS OLIVEIRA ONTO HER BACKSIDE in the corner! How about THAT! No more quick recovery from the aching Brazilian who takes the mandatory eight count before nodding back to the referee. However she still looks shaken here and Ming TEARS into her face moments later as poor Raica didn't even raise her gloves in time... The Chinese model finally shows some emotions as she barks in her efforts to rearrange Oliveira's face and the targeted woman finds no response anymore as she slumps on jelly knees and bellows out against the turnbuckle with a loud whimper! AND THAT WILL BE THAT as the referee jumps in to prevent additional damage! Epic TKO4 Ming Xi!!!

AFTER: That happened VERY fast indeed! Ming Xi looked all lost at sea after two rounds but roared back to deck the feisty Brazilian twice before forcing an indisputable stoppage in front of the partisan Macau audience! She shakes her glove in delight and finally displays a huge smile whereas Raica tries to gather her thoughts but is send back to her corner with that "What the hell just happened" look on her face. One would never suspect Ming of blasting the Latina sexpot into such a disarray but BBU TV's Charlie Webster begins to wonder whether Raica is simply too hittable to survive such a brutal onslaught which the Chinese delivered: "Everyone looks fine UNTIL they get hit with some raw power!"

Oliveira's punching resistance isn't exactly bothering the Macau fans whatsoever but even these loyal supporters realize Ming still has a long way to go if she's destined to match some of her highly-touted Victoria's Secret buddies. The lightweight division is as crowded as ever and more work is required for both Ming and Oliveira if they want to break out in style anytime soon!

Final result: Ming Xi def. Raica Oliveira TKO4.
