Before: “’Cougar fighting’? Bah! That is for old ladies. My age is just a number—I feel ready to fight and this blonde beach bunny Laura V. will finally give me my first FCBA victory,” says Laura Pausini, who does indeed look fit and ready to get into the ring. Laura’s enjoyed some success back in Europe, but her FCBA career has seen one loss after another. Still, she has been an enthusiastic fighter and this has earned her a small, but devoted fan base. Laura smiles when this is brought up. “I was surprised when I realized I had such loyal fans around here. They are always there to cheer me on and I deeply wish to reward them with a victory.”

Lsura Vandevoort acutely aware she hasn’t had an FCBA win since 2018. “Yeah, that was Nicole Scherzinger. I got a TKO5 stoppage on her. I actually won all three of my fights that year. Since then it’s been 0-10 for me and I don’t have to tell you I am sick of that. Pausini probably thinks I’m ripe for plucking, but she’s not getting her first win at MY expense.”
