Results: Lookout!; Story: Vassago

BEFORE: It's all about big money fights for the Lioness Alpha fighter who returns to action mere weeks after an unsuccessful flyweight title challenge. Jessica Lowndes is ready to smash former MMA grappler Paige VanZant into a bloody pulp, something the blonde has experienced in real-life bare knuckle bouts already. Paige owns a formidable FCBA record however Jessica dismisses her actual skillset in striking stance and vows to "send her back to OnlyFans" which meets a stingy response from the Global Boxing Syndicate entourage. Over to Cindy Crawford: "We all know Jessica likes to run her mouth but she's really pushing her luck! Paige is an accomplished striker and her FCBA record proves that! She will break some bones in Jessica's face and we'll never see that Canadian tramp in bare knuckles ever again! Mark my words!"

Jessica Lowndes wears a red crop top with black trim, black hotpants & red tape wrapped around her hands & wrists. Long dark brown hair tied in a braid. Paige VanZant wears a black crop top, white hotpants & white tape wrapped around the hands & wrists. Long blonde hair tied in a braid. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the flyweight division.

Round 1:
Paige has the bare knuckle experience but Jessica blasts out of the gate to deliver the head-hunting charge that leaves the blonde weaving around on her feet in pure avoidance. Jessica lands a couple of heavy shots on target and pulls back to analyze the impact value which allows Paige to jump into a sudden charge that misses the target. Both women throw a great deal of shots only for Jessica to bounce off the forearms while Paige drops one hook on the forehead and bails out of further attempts as if she hurt herself. Lowndes notices the problem and throws more punches up the middle but she can't match the blonde's mobility and cuts more thin air until VanZant runs out of real estate and gets trapped on the ropes where Jessica fires a couple of juicy harpoons to the body just before the bell.

Round 2:
Jessica wants to secure the early dominance again but Paige weathers the storm through superior mobility and bangs a good left hook on the nose that drops the brunette into hectic defense. Both women almost clash heads in the center of the ring before VanZant recovers to plug a body shot double to stuff the Canadian on her heels. Lowndes swings over the top but skims off the top of Paige's forehead which allows the former MMA fighter to fire a couple of big shots into her face instead. Jessica loses her footing and tries to bail out into safety however VanZant nails her with another quick double that results in blood spillage from the nose in the closing seconds! Ugh! Welcome to bare knuckle rules, hun! Jessica wipes the blood across her face and spends the final stretch in desperate retreat.

Round 3:
Paige knocks more venom into the brunette's face early in the third and wants to resume the blood spillage but the Lioness patchwork holds up in the opening minute despite the blonde's hectic efforts! Paige sends in the head-hunting menace and keeps the Canadian dancing around in avoidance but she eventually runs out of real estate and sinks on the ropes when VanZant stacks up more quick hits from both flanks! Uh-oh!!! Lowndes hits trouble when more blood is spilled from her nose but she clinches Paige against the odds and tags her on the jaw when the ref separates them. All-in charge allows Jessica to plug a couple of shots on the chin and escape the trap with VanZant pressing forward but only getting warned for an illegal head-butt in the closing stages.

Round 4:
Things are getting even more hectic in the fourth as Jessica works the body drive to catch the blonde off guard but gets thumped over the top once Paige shakes off the first impression and tries to damage the nostrils again. She lands one straight on the forehead instead and has to bail out into mid-range where Lowndes smacks her with a rare uppercut on the chin. Paige refuses to back off but fails to battle through a jabbing flurry and gets cut across the nasal ridge when the brunette finds the supreme precision. She glues VanZant to the center of the ring and smacks another nasty cross that spins the blonde to the side and leaves her nursing a visible gash under the left eye. Paige tries to come back at the older foe but Lowndes drives in low and pummels her to the body which only triggers a clinching response from the ailing blonde. Jessica still whacks her on the abs and shouts at the GBS corner full of confidence!

Round 5:
Jessica piles hard knuckles into Paige's face and opens another cut below the left eye. She screams in delight when she notices a blood seeping wound on VanZant's face and there is more bare knuckle menace coming next with both women going all-in much to the crowd's delight! Paige drops a good left on the nose but eats a left/right combo on the chin and wobbles to the side just as Jessica clips her on the chin again. A brutal left hook tags the blonde on the eye and makes her gurgle in pain; she shoots a right hook over the Canadian's head and leaves her chin exposed to a quick left piledriver that DROPS HER FOR THE COUNT!!! Ugh! Suddenly there's more blood leaking from under the left eye and Paige sits down on her heels before rolling to her side moments later as she hides her face behind the gloves. Uh-oh!!! She tries to make a late recovery at eight but only slumps into the referee's arms and this one is over!!! KO5 Jessica Lowndes!!!

AFTER: Jessica makes an obscene gesture aimed at Cindy Crawford in the GBS corner and blows the stunned Paige a kiss: "See your busted ass over at OF!". The defeated blonde looks too dizzy to register the insult and she's escorted back to her corner where cutmen have to work on those nasty wounds covering her face. That's another bare knuckle disaster for Paige who finds herself in awkward spot where she remains a top promotional draw but comes up short against another contender name. BLONDE! Magazine pundits still claim she's a future champion in the making but her fellow peers just won't roll out the red carpet!
