The two broke out of their corners and circled one another, feeling each other out as well as daring one to make the first move. Serena came hard first and tried to throw a vicious right hook before Misty dodged it and landed a hard jab to the jaw.

Misty shot for the takedown only to be stuffed by Serena, who then turned her over to get the full mount going. Serena started to rain punches down onto Misty, Big John standing by to see if he needed to step in and stop the fight.

Misty didn't let Serena beat her down for long as she adjusted her position and reversed the maneuver so that she was on top this time but Serena managed to bring Misty's head down so that she wasn't in full mount.

Misty took the opportunity to throw some punches to the side of Serena's face while Serena landed some shots of her own before kicking Misty off of her. John separated them for a second before giving the command to continue fighting.

Misty immediately landed a snapping kick to Serena's side, causing her to step back and favor that side. Misty smelled blood and the audience was starting to feel something as they got progressively louder while Misty started raining punches on Serena at the side of the cage. Serena punched Misty right back and that sent Misty recoiling.

Serena broke out of the corner like a leopard toward its prey and swept up Misty into a takedown. Serena tried to adjust her position so she could get more power in her punches but Misty wasn't letting that happen as she held her down while landing some shots on the side of her face.

Misty then got an idea and tried to grab Serena's arm so she could lock in an armbar and end the fight here. She then tried to flip Serena over to her side with her legs so she can sink in the hold but Serena instead stood up and slammed Misty down so she could break the hold, which she did.

Serena then engaged for more damage until Misty stood up and backtracked a bit before John settled things down. Once the two got the command to start, Serena landed a vicious leg kick to Misty's left leg. Misty shook it off and landed a straight punch to the face.

But before either could do some real damage, the horn sounded and the two went back to their corners.

(Misty's corner)

"Alright Misty, that was a good round," encouraged Brock, who was her head corner man.

Her sisters were the other assistants and were busy squirting water into her mouth and applying a cold pack to her neck to cool her down.

"Stay disciplined and calculate your chances. You're making her make irrational decisions and try to go for the knockout early. You landed a good shot to the ribs there so she's hurt. Go after those ribs and end this fight right here."

(Serena's corner)

"It's alright, Serena. Just take a deep breath." Shauna, her head trainer, instructed. Bonnie and Calem were busy applying a cold pack to her side to help her injured ribs and giving her sips of water.

"She's trying to sucker you into making bad decisions so she can beat you. Don't let her do that. Go on the offensive, nail some takedowns and try to use the ground to your advantage. If you let her make this a stand-up fight, you're going to lose. Get to the ground as quick as possible."

The horn sounded to signal the cornermen to get out of the octagon and they took off. Misty and Serena then assumed their positions to begin the second round.
