       Referee:  Suzuka Ishikawa[
       Hosts: Joe Rogan and Brendan Schaub and Randy Couture
       Joe Rogan: Well we are back and my friends Brendan Schaub and
       Randy Couture have rejoined us for this battle between former
       teammates Julianne Hough and Ai Miyazato
       Brendan Schaub: Thanks Joe I have been looking forward to this
       matchup since the two came to visit us a couple of hours ago.
       Joe: What do you mean Brendan.  What I saw a couple of hours ago
       was two opponents watering down what I was hoping would be the
       fight of the night.
       Brendan: What I mean is that I think that this will be the fight
       of the night because they are competitors and as competitors it
       doesn’t take much to light a fire.
       Randy Couture: I agree with Brendan this will be a great fight.
       It might take a round or two but once they get started their
       tempers will flare and it will be a war.  I expect it to go 6
       rounds before Julianne knocks Ai out.
       Brendan: I agree with Randy but I think it will be much shorter,
       Only 4 rounds and Ai will go down.
       Joe: You two don’t give Ai much of a chance, Ai has the heart of
       a champion and she will give Julianne a big fight.  I guess we
       are about to find out because here comes Bruce for the
       introductions.
       Bruce Buffer: Welcome back ladies and gentlemen and all of you
       fans.  I hope that you are ready to see another bout so if you
       are ready lets get this started. First in the red corner,
       fighting out of the Strikeforce stable help me welcome Julianne
       Hough.
       Julianne strolls to the ring taking her time to allow everyone
       to see her. She is escorted to the ring by her teammates Ashley
       Tisdale and Lucy Hale who help her slip out of her robe and
       allow Julianne to flex and stroll around the ring confidently.
       Brendan: Wow Julianne looks great.  She looks ready to destroy
       her opponent.
       Bruce: And in the blue corner, she fights out of the Awesome
       Aries stable.  Here is Ai Miyazato.
       Ai Miyazato follows her friends and stablemates, Danielle Kang
       and So Yeon Ryu.  Ai slides under the ropes and into the ring
       and slides out of her robe.  Ai flexes and shows the crowd her
       athletic body.
       Bruce: Your referee for this bout is Suzuka Ishikawa.
       Bruce leaves the ring and Suzuka takes over bringing Julianne
       and Ai to the middle of the ring and giving them the rules for
       the bout and what she expects from both fighters.  It was a bout
       with 10, 5 minute rounds with a 3 knockdown rule and a standing
       8 count after each knockdown and if either competitor ws unable
       to continue the fight was over.  The two girls shook hands and
       returned to their corners ready for the bout to continue.
       Round 1: The bell sounds and Suzuka brings the two to center
       ring and the bout is under way.  Neither girl wastes any time as
       they begin throwing punches with impressive accuracy and power.
       The action is quick and exciting and both girls use a variety of
       jabs and counter punches mixed with occasional hooks and other
       counter punches.  Neither fighter seems to be hurting the other
       as the round ticks away and Suzuka is not having to do much work
       as Julianne and Ai are playing it clean.  The action slows ever
       so slightly but the precision remains.  The round draws to a
       close and the bell sounds ending the first round and both girls
       are breathing pretty heavily.  Their corners go to work to calm
       both down and encourage both to do better. The round was pretty
       even but Ai seemed to be a bit more aggressive and wins the
       round 10-9.
       
       Round 2:  Both girls are on their feet as the bell sounds to
       begin the 2nd round.  The two come out a bit more cautious with
       lightning quick jabs and counter punches.  Julianne has a slight
       bit of a reach advantage and is using it to her advantage
       keeping Ai at a distance with her laser guided punches.  At
       least that is how it was looking as the two circled the ring
       looking for an opening.  Then as the seconds ticked by Julianne
       took a risk and went for a knockout punch but Ai saw it coming
       and countered with a furious barrage of punches to Julianne’s
       body that had Julianne a bit staggered.  Julianne fell back in
       the ropes and Ai followed her in trying to gain some leverage
       but Julianne returned the favor and hit Ai with a big overhand
       punch that caught Ai just right and knocked her down. Suzuka
       moved in and motioned for Julianne to a neutral corner as she
       issued a standing 8 count.  Ai has been caught by surprise and
       seems upset at herself as she gets to her feet.  Suzuka makes
       sure that Ai is okay and motions for the bout to continue.  The
       two go on the attack and there is a flurry of punches as both
       throw punches at will.  Julianne tries to keep her distance but
       Ai dances in and out quickly and is doing some damage.  The bell
       sounds and Suzuka gets the two separated and to their corners.
       Julianne wins the round 10-9 and ties the card at 19 each.
       
       Round 3: The two fighters are on their feet ready to go as the
       bell sounds and the two come out and continue what they started
       in the last round.  The action is very quick as Ai dances around
       looking for an opening. Julianne is able to counter effectively
       and keeps Ai from doing a lot of damage.  The two are beginning
       to go at it pretty hard and both ladies are handing out and
       taking some punishment.  Neither of these ladies are a push over
       and neither is stepping back as they continue to throw punches
       and landing with regularity.  After an exhausting couple of
       minutes the bell sounds and Suzuka again has to step between the
       two to get them separated.  Julianne wins the round 10-9 but it
       was a very close and physical round and the scorecard now reads
       29-28.
       
       Round 4: Both fighters are back on their feet before the bell.
       Both Julianne and Ai are in great shape and both are looking
       fresh even after such a wild round.  The action begins where it
       was left off last round. There are a lot of body shots being
       thrown and it looks to be taking effect on Julianne more than Ai
       as Miss Miyazato backs Julianne into the ropes and for the first
       time in the bout, Julianne looks to be in some trouble as she
       clinches Ai.  Ai keeps the pressure on as she hammers Julianne’s
       body with some short but effective body punches. Julianne looks
       staggered but she has the ropes to keep her upright. Julianne
       clinches Ai but cannot escape from the relentless Ai who keeps
       her trapped against the ropes.  Ai tries to gain some leverage
       and allows Julianne to twist her into the ropes.  Julianne
       though takes the advantage and hammers Ai with a straight punch
       to the chest.  Ai retaliates with a straight punch of her own to
       Julianne’s chest and Julianne suddenly drops to her backside.
       Julianne gets to her feet quickly but Suzuka pushes Ai into a
       neutral corner so she can administer a standing 8 count.
       Julianne falls back into another corner and Suzuka looks into
       her eyes and is about ready to stop the bout just when the bell
       sounds to end the round. Ai wins the round 10-9 and ties the
       scorecard at 38.
       
       Round 5: Ai is on her feet before the bell even though Danielle
       and So Yeon are trying to calm her down.  Ai is really excited
       and looks in great shape.  On the other side Lucy and Ashley are
       working feverishly on Julianne.  The bell sounds and Suzuka
       checks on Julianne.  Satisfied that the bout can continue, She
       motions the bout to continue and the two close in.  Ai goes to
       work but Julianne uses her jabs to keep the dangerous Japanese
       fighter at a distance and this is working effectively giving
       Julianne the time to recover and keep moving.  The round is slow
       but still with some energy and both girls are working hard.
       Julianne lands some effective jabs but Ai manages to dance away
       before Julianne can hit her with a followup hook or undercut.
       The round goes by quickly and Julianne looks to be in a little
       better shape than the last round.  Ai begins to show some
       frustration and works to back Julianne into the ropes but
       Julianne keeps using jabs to keep Ai from any damage.  Things
       start to heat up and the punching starts to get wild.  Just as
       the bell sounds, Ai has Julianne backed into the ropes and opens
       her up with a short punch to the midsection. Julianne retaliates
       and suddenly the two go wild and Julianne actually throws Ai to
       the mats.  The two battle on the mats for several long seconds
       before the corners and Suzuka can get them separated.  Ai wins
       the round 10-9 and gains a 48-47 lead on the card.
       
       Round 6: Suzuka goes to each corner and warns the two fighters
       that this is boxing and not a brawl.  The corners try to calm
       Julianne and Ai down.  The bell sounds with both back on their
       feet and the two close the gap working their punches.  The
       spectators cheer the two on and both girls are feeling the
       crowds energy as they exchange punches and counter punches.  The
       action continues to be physical and the two continue to work
       effectively in landing jabs and trying to land combinations but
       both are able to block and counter some of those combinations.
       The round goes by quickly and both girls are beginning to show
       signs of how physical the fight has gone as they get tied up in
       the ropes with less than a minute left in the round.  This leads
       to the two fighters working in close and this helps Ai who is
       able to land some short punches to Julianne’s body.  Ai breaks
       free of the clinch and  throws a huge hook to Julianne’s ribs.
       This is met with an even bigger left hook to Ai’s jaw and Ai
       staggers backwards.  Julianne drives Ai backwards into one of
       the corners and starts unloading more punches.  Ai covers up and
       clinches up with Julianne which allows her to use her short
       punches to Julianne’s midsection.  Julianne is taking a lot of
       punishment and Suzuka is trying to separate the two.  The bell
       sounds and for the second round, tempers flare out of control
       and Julianne throws Ai to the mats.  Ai sweeps Julianne’s legs
       and brawl number 2 erupts. Punches fly wildly and the crowd
       cheers as the two twist and fight on the mats.  Both corners
       come to Suzuka’s aid and get the two separated but some damage
       has been done as Ai has a nasty bruise on her right cheek that
       is beginning to bleed and Julianne has a bruise under her right
       eye.  Suzuka is in conference with the judges while Julianne and
       Ai hurl threats and insults at one another.  Suzuka has deducted
       a point from both fighters cards leaving Julianne the winner of
       the round 9-8 and ties the card at 56 each.
       
       Round 7: Suzuka is ready to start the next round but the
       respective corners are still trying to calm the two fighters
       down.  The bell sounds and the corners give some last second
       advice.  The fighters advance and the two converge with sharp
       jabs.  The two exchange jabs and work inside with some damaging
       combinations.  The pace changes to a slower pace as both
       concentrate on their punches.  The round goes by and the crowd
       cheers as both land some effective punches.  A couple of times
       the two get clinched up but Suzuka is able to get the two
       separated and the action continues.  By the time the bell
       sounds, blood is beginning to stream down the side of both girls
       faces.  Suzuka gets the two to their corners and to the
       attention of their corners who try to clean up their fighters.
       Julianne wins the round 10-9 and takes the scorecard lead 66-65.
       
       Round 8: Both fighters are looking weary but when the bell
       sounds they are on their feet ready to continue the bout.  The
       action continues with more jabs and counters and both are
       looking to land combinations but both are dancing away and wary
       of one another’s power.  The crowd wants more action and
       Julianne is trying to make that happen as she lands some good
       jabs and as the round flies by, Julianne is making better
       contact and gets in some combinations. Blood is again beginning
       to drip down the side of Ai’s face and Ai looks in trouble.
       Julianne continues to pummel Ai until the bell sounds to end the
       round and Ai has to be helped to her corner where Danielle and
       So Yeon work feverishly to revive Ai.  On the other side
       Julianne is still careful of her ribs which have taken a lot of
       punishment.  Julianne wins the round 10-9 and leads the
       scorecard 76-74.
       
       Round 9: With potentially 2 more rounds to go, Ai looks to be in
       trouble and Julianne is getting her way in the ring.  The bell
       sounds and Julianne looks ready to finish Ai off.  Ai though
       manages to dance away from Julianne and the crowd is starting to
       get restless as they want to see more action.  Ai looks to have
       caught her breath and is doing a good job of making Julianne
       chase her and occasionally getting in a couple of kidney punches
       that look worse than they really are.  This round goes by pretty
       quickly and Suzuka only has to separate 2 clinches after Ai has
       landed some of her kidney punches which are beginning to affect
       Julianne.  As the bell sounds to end the round, Ai manages to
       get inside one of Julianne’s long jabs and hurts Julianne with
       two more hard kidney punches.  Julianne is not happy with that
       and neither is her corner as Ashley and Lucy look ready to come
       through the ropes.  Suzuka maintains order and gets everyone to
       their corner.  With that last minute work, Ai wins the round and
       narrows the score to 85-84 still in favor of Julianne.
       
       Round 10: Julianne is getting pumped up by her corner as Lucy
       and Ashley are giving her a lot of advice and the same goes for
       Ai’s corner.  The bell sounds to begin the final round and the
       two come out and bump gloves to begin the round.  Ai goes for
       another combination jab and hook to the kidneys but Ai misses
       the hook and only catches air as Julianne slides to the side and
       hits Ai with a punch to the side of the head. Ai wobbles and
       nearly goes down and Suzuka moves in and issues a standing 8
       count.  Ai remains on her feet and is ready to continue. The two
       dance around trading jabs and the crowd is cheering them on and
       both fighters are feeling the energy as the round goes by fairly
       quickly.  With less than a minute left in the round the two fall
       into the ropes in a clinch and both Julianne and Ai work heavy
       body punches through the clinch.  Suzuka is trying to get the
       two separated and the crowd can sense that tempers are starting
       to flare up a bit.  Suzuka finally gets the two separated but as
       they back away, Ai throws a wild left hook catching Julianne on
       the side of the head and Julianne goes down.  Suzuka pushes Ai
       to a neutral corner warning her about that last second punch and
       then issues the standing 8 count to Julianne.  Suzuka finishes
       the count and motions for the bout to continue. Julianne looks
       furious and goes right into Ai hammering the Japanese girl with
       a ton of punches.  Ai falls back into the ropes and Julianne
       follows her in with a solid left to the temple.  Ai drops to her
       knees and Julianne pushes Julianne into a neutral corner.
       Suzuka issues an 8 count to Ai but now there is only 15 seconds
       left in the round.  Julianne moves in and for the next 15
       seconds, the two slug it out wildly until the bell sounds.
       Suzuka moves in and separates the two sending them to their
       corners.
       
       Brendan: Wow that was a great battle but who won.
       Randy: Who cares this was the fight of the night and it was a
       physical battle.
       Joe: Randy said it right this was a great fight maybe we can get
       a word from Ai or Julianne.  Ai can we get a word over here.
       That was an awesome battle between you and Julianne.  Any
       thoughts.
       Ai: Joe, This is why I challenged Julianne, I knew that she
       would fight me with all she had and she did not disappoint.
       Before Ai can continue, Bruce Buffer enters the ring and Suzuka
       pulls Ai away to get the decision.
       Bruce: Ladies and Gentlemen we have us a winner here tonight.
       We hope that you enjoyed this bout and here is the results.
       After 10 rounds of maybe the best boxing of the night, Judge 1
       has ruled it 95-94 in favor of Julianne, Judge 2 rules the fight
       95-94 in favor of Ai, and Judge 3 has ruled the fight 96-95 in
       favor of your winner tonight, Julianne Hough.
       The celebration begins and Joe, Randy and Brendan are virtually
       pushed from the ring as the Strikeforce team converges on the
       ring and lift Julianne high in the air.  After a couple of
       minutes of holding Julianne in the air, they set her down as Ai
       pushes forward and looks ready to continue their battle.
       Instead Ai offers her hand in congratulations and the two
       embrace and then the two former hated enemies walk back to the
       locker rooms.
       Joe: Well Randy and Brendan thanks for joining us tonight for
       this bout and we hope to see you two again for our next bout in
       this fabulous series.
