| Laura Marano: | |
| Backstage, the energy is tense. The muffled roar of the crowd | |
| pulses through the concrete walls of the MGM Grande arena, but | |
| in Laura Marano�s corner of the locker room, all is quiet except | |
| for the soft hiss of an ice pack and the low hum of her team | |
| whispering in strategy. | |
| Laura sits slouched on the bench, legs spread, elbows on her | |
| knees, head bowed. Her body is a canvas of punishment � bruises | |
| along her ribs, a fresh gash just under her nose, her left | |
| breast swollen and discolored from Joey King�s brutal right | |
| hook. Her breathing is measured, but each inhale is a struggle, | |
| every movement a jolt of pain. Joey had taken her to the brink � | |
| and nearly past it but Laura refused to fall to Joey. | |
| She spits out water into a bucket and leans back with a wince. | |
| Her trainer gently presses an ice pack to her side. | |
| "You shouldn�t have won that fight," she mutters under her | |
| breath, not accusing � just being real. | |
| Laura looks up slowly, eyes narrowed. "But I did. Is that | |
| chubby little **** celebrating right now? No, Joey's probably | |
| crying a river of tears because I won and she lost." | |
| She stands, stiff and aching, but there�s fire in her posture | |
| again. That trademark defiance. That never ever give attitude. | |
| Her ribs scream, her legs are heavy, and her jaw clicks when she | |
| stretches it. But none of it matters now. There�s still one more | |
| fight. One more body to break. One more set of breasts to | |
| flatten. | |
| She slips her arms through the robe offered by Katherine | |
| McNamara, lets it fall over her bruised frame. The MGM officials | |
| enter. One of them carries the ceremonial black blindfold. | |
| "Time," he says. | |
| Laura nods. She steps forward, arms out. The blindfold goes on. | |
| Total darkness. And yet she grins. | |
| "You sure about this?" Vanessa Marano asks. | |
| Laura smirks, voice low and certain. "I�ve fought blind before." | |
| She walks slowly toward the hallway, flanked by her team, a lone | |
| spotlight catching the edge of her robe as she steps into the | |
| arena. Every step is pain. Every breath is earned. But her heart | |
| pounds steady. | |
| She doesn�t know who�s waiting on the other side of the cage. | |
| But it really doesn�t matter. | |
| She�s Laura Marano � and she�s still standing and no matter who | |
| she faces they are going to get the best she has to offer and | |
| with the title on the line she is going to be impossible to | |
| beat. | |
| Dove Cameron: | |
| The walls of Dove Cameron�s locker room were thick, but not | |
| thick enough to muffle the echo of the roaring crowd outside. | |
| The distant thunder was constant � relentless � like the | |
| heartbeat of the arena itself. And inside, Dove sat slumped on a | |
| stool, body glistening with sweat, ice packs pressed to her | |
| ribcage and under her arms. Her lips were split. Her left eye | |
| puffy. Her breasts, discolored and swollen from Ariana�s early | |
| and late punishment, rose and fell with heavy, ragged breaths. | |
| Her trainer pressed a cold towel to the back of her neck. "You | |
| shouldn�t have taken that sixth round head-on." | |
| Dove didn�t answer at first. She grimaced, slowly straightening | |
| up, her eyes distant but focused. "I won," she finally muttered, | |
| voice hoarse. "That�s all that matters." | |
| And she had � barely. Dove had floored Ariana with a beautiful | |
| counter in the fifth, a crisp right that dropped the pop | |
| princess flat on her ass. But Ariana had stormed back like a | |
| hurricane, battering Dove�s body and breasts, nearly finishing | |
| her with a brutal knockdown in the sixth. Dove had held, | |
| clinched, survived � and escaped with the slimmest of split | |
| decisions. | |
| Now her body was paying the price. | |
| A deep bruise bloomed across her sternum. Her abs were red, | |
| scraped raw from the gloves. She winced every time she moved her | |
| arms. Still, her jaw was set � eyes sharp. | |
| "Finals are next," Olivia Holt said quietly. | |
| Dove stood with effort, taking her time. She adjusted her sports | |
| bra, letting out a hiss as the fabric pressed over tender flesh. | |
| But there was no hesitation. She wasn�t about to sit out now. | |
| She was a fighter. One of the best. MMA, boxing, oil wrestling, | |
| it didn�t matter � she was born for this. | |
| The door opened. A MGM official stepped in, holding the | |
| ceremonial black blindfold. | |
| Dove raised her chin. | |
| "You ready for this?" Olivia Rodrgo asked, softly. | |
| Dove�s lips curled into a thin, pained smirk. "She�s hurting | |
| too. Bet on that." | |
| She stepped forward as the blindfold was tied around her head. | |
| Darkness. | |
| One more fight. One more war. | |
| And Dove Cameron was walking toward it � broken body, | |
| unbreakable will. | |
| Tournament Finals � Arrival of the Finalists | |
| The lights inside the MGM arena dimmed suddenly, and a quiet | |
| tension spread across the crowd like a slow, building wave. The | |
| massive display screens overhead simply read: | |
| "THE FINALS" | |
| No names. No faces. Just electricity in the air and one question | |
| pulsing through every mind: Who made it? | |
| From opposite ends of the arena, the fighter entrances lit up � | |
| a soft spotlight on each tunnel. Two figures emerged at the same | |
| time, each draped in oversized satin robes, hoods pulled tightly | |
| over their heads. Their silhouettes were nearly identical in | |
| size, compact and feminine, moving with a distinct, weary | |
| determination. | |
| The crowd strained forward in anticipation, trying to identify | |
| the gait, the posture, any detail that might betray who they | |
| were. But the robes covered everything. Neither fighter looked | |
| to the crowd. Neither acknowledged the flashing lights or | |
| roaring whispers from the stands. | |
| They had one focus � the ring. | |
| The first fighter climbed the steps slowly, favoring her ribs | |
| ever so slightly. She slipped through the ropes, keeping her | |
| head bowed. The second followed moments later, her shoulders | |
| stiff, jaw set, eyes locked dead ahead beneath her hood. She | |
| moved like she�d done this a hundred times � because she had. | |
| The referee waited in the center. As both fighters reached the | |
| ring, they stood with backs to their corners, neither glancing | |
| to the left or right. They didn�t know who they were facing. | |
| Yet. | |
| "Ladies," the ref began, his voice cutting through the stillness | |
| like a blade, "you�ve both made it through war. This is the | |
| final round of the tournament. Six rounds. No standing | |
| eight-counts unless I call for them. Protect yourselves at all | |
| times. You may remove your blindfolds and hoods on my count." | |
| A beat passed. | |
| "One�" | |
| The audience held its breath. | |
| "Two�" | |
| The air felt heavy. | |
| "Three." | |
| Both fighters yanked the blindfolds and hoods off at the same | |
| instant. | |
| And the arena exploded. | |
| Screams, gasps, and deafening chants erupted through the arena | |
| like a thunderclap as the fighters yanked off their hoods and | |
| blindfolds. The crowd surged to its feet, disbelieving what they | |
| were seeing. LAURA MARANO stood eye to eye with DOVE CAMERON � | |
| the two most bitter, venomous rivals in UCC history. | |
| Laura�s bruised face twisted into a crooked grin the moment she | |
| saw Dove. Her eyes lit up, not with joy, but with pure, hateful | |
| adrenaline. She had one thought: Of course it�s her. It had to | |
| be her. | |
| Dove�s reaction was immediate. Her face dropped, her jaw | |
| clenched, and her fists tightened at her sides. Her bloodied | |
| lips curled into a scowl. She hated Laura � hated her smirk, | |
| hated her voice, hated that she�d made it to the finals. "You�ve | |
| got to be **** kidding me," she muttered under her breath. All | |
| her pain vanished into fury. | |
| Neither woman moved as their muscles tensed tight. The tension | |
| between them was volcanic. | |
| No words. No gestures. Just pure hatred and history simmering in | |
| the center of the ring. | |
| All around them, the crowd lost its mind � half screaming | |
| Laura�s name, the other half chanting for Dove. Security | |
| struggled to keep fans from surging toward the barricades. | |
| Phones lit up the air like fireworks, capturing the moment. This | |
| was a dream final. | |
| Two wounded warriors, battered but unbroken, staring daggers at | |
| each other. | |
| In less than a minute, fists would fly, blood would spill, and | |
| one of them would be left broken on the canvas and the other | |
| would have another win over her hated rival. | |
| There was no pretense of sportsmanship. No mutual respect. Just | |
| pure, unfiltered loathing. | |
| They weren�t just fighting for the belt. | |
| They were fighting to destroy one another. To wipe any hope in | |
| their rivals eyes. To seek and destroy the woman standing in | |
| front of them. | |
| War wasn�t coming � it had already begun. | |
| Round 1: Laura Marano vs. Dove Cameron | |
| The bell rang. | |
| No more mystery. No more buildup. Just pure, white-hot fury | |
| between two women who despised each other more than anyone else | |
| on the roster. | |
| Dove surged forward immediately, gloves high, her movements | |
| sharp and predatory. Laura circled to her left, jaw clenched, | |
| eyes burning. The arena still hadn�t quieted from the reveal, | |
| and the fighters were already in each other's space. | |
| Dove struck first. | |
| A stiff jab snapped Laura�s head back, followed by a thudding | |
| right to the ribs. Laura grunted but stayed composed, pivoting | |
| and countering with a left hook to Dove�s temple that made the | |
| blonde stagger back a step. The crowd roared. | |
| Laura pressed in, firing off a two-punch combo: right cross to | |
| the cheek, left uppercut under the arm. Dove clinched, tying her | |
| up as Laura wasn't holding back. The ref separated them. | |
| Thirty seconds in, and the damage had begun. | |
| Dove landed a vicious hook to Laura�s breast, drawing a loud | |
| gasp and backing her rival into the ropes. Laura absorbed a body | |
| shot and returned fire with a straight right to the mouth that | |
| split Dove�s lip wide open. Blood sprayed, and the hatred | |
| doubled. | |
| Midway through the round, the pace got brutal. Both fighters | |
| were looking to make a statement early. Dove unleashed a flurry | |
| of lefts and rights to Laura's body, working high and low, | |
| pushing her into the corner. Laura covered up but absorbed | |
| plenty. | |
| Then, Laura dipped and threw a monster left hook to the liver. | |
| Dove froze. | |
| Her legs stiffened, her mouth opened in a silent scream, and she | |
| staggered backward. Laura charged and hammered a looping right | |
| to the jaw. | |
| DOWN GOES DOVE! | |
| The crowd exploded as Dove dropped to all fours, gasping, her | |
| mouthpiece hanging loose. The ref started counting. | |
| 1... 2... 3... | |
| Dove shook her head and forced herself upright, rising at 6, | |
| wiping blood from her lip. The ref checked her over. | |
| Dove was up at 8 but was unsteady as she blinked and tried to | |
| focus. | |
| Laura grinned, chest heaving, her gloves already twitching for | |
| the next attack. | |
| The ref waved them back in. | |
| Dove looked furious. | |
| She darted forward and caught Laura with a stinging straight | |
| left. Then a right hook to the jaw that made Laura stumble. The | |
| brunette tried to clinch but Dove shoved her off and tagged her | |
| with a left uppercut that snapped her head back. | |
| Now Laura was in trouble. | |
| Dove advanced like a shark, ripping shots to Laura�s sides, then | |
| planting a clean right to the face that sent sweat and blood | |
| flying. Laura backpedaled, gloves up, absorbing more punches. | |
| Ten seconds left. | |
| Laura managed to land a desperation jab, then another, creating | |
| distance. Dove lunged with a wild overhand right�and just | |
| missed. | |
| Laura ducked low and **** her with a left to the ribs. Dove | |
| winced, doubling slightly. | |
| Bell rings. | |
| The crowd was in chaos, barely able to sit. The first round was | |
| a war. | |
| Laura scored a knockdown and nearly finished Dove. But Dove | |
| rallied hard, did serious damage of her own, and arguably | |
| controlled the final minute. | |
| Blood dripped from both mouths. Ribs were red. Eyes swollen. | |

| Round 2: Laura Marano vs. Dove Cameron | |
| Dove storms out of her corner like a woman possessed, jaw | |
| clenched tight, eyes burning. She�s still livid from the | |
| knockdown in Round 1. Laura�s there to meet her, gloves up, chin | |
| tucked � a smirk twitching at the edge of her bruised lips. | |
| "You better now, Dovey? You looked a bit sluggish." | |
| "Shut up and fight! | |
| They close the gap fast. | |
| Dove strikes first � a stiff jab followed by a heavy right hand | |
| that slams into Laura�s belly. Laura grunts, folds slightly, and | |
| immediately clinches rubbing her elbow across Dove's breasts. | |
| "You're a cheap shot artist," Dove hisses into her ear during | |
| the tie-up. | |
| Laura chuckles through gritted teeth and digs her left elbow | |
| into Dove's ribs. "You jealous I dropped you, cupcake?" | |
| The referee moves to separate them � but before he can fully | |
| part the fighters, CRACK � Dove rips a short hook into Laura�s | |
| ribs. A blatant shot after the break. | |
| Boos rain down from the crowd. | |
| "Watch it!" the ref snaps, pointing a finger in Dove�s face. He | |
| gives a warning, but no point is deducted. | |
| Laura backs off, eyes burning now. That was personal. | |
| Laura feints a jab, then punches straight down the middle � | |
| right between Dove�s gloves � and nails her in the mouth. The | |
| smack of leather on flesh echoes through the arena. Dove | |
| staggers a step back, stunned, but retaliates with fury. | |
| She rips a left-right combo right into Laura�s chest, snapping | |
| her backward into the ropes. Laura groans but keeps her hands | |
| high and her elbows in tight. The pace accelerates � brutal, | |
| breathless, relentless. | |
| "You�ll be crying again in ten seconds," Laura spits, slipping | |
| under a wide hook and driving a left into Dove�s liver. | |
| Dove gasps sharply, bending at the waist, only to eat a right | |
| cross to the temple. Her knees buckle. She clinches again, this | |
| time sneakily slipping a late uppercut into Laura�s cleavage as | |
| they break. | |
| The referee storms in. | |
| "That�s it! One more shot like that and I take a point!" he | |
| warns, face red with fury. | |
| But Dove is beyond caring. Her rage is boiling over. She shoves | |
| Laura backward with a forearm, then snaps a check hook that | |
| spins the brunette sideways. Dove follows with a looping left to | |
| the jaw � CRACK! � Laura�s mouthpiece nearly flies, and her legs | |
| do a stutter step. | |
| The crowd roars to life. | |
| Dove swarms, hammering Laura�s sides with wild body shots. Left. | |
| Right. Left again. Laura covers up and slips left, biting down | |
| hard on her mouthguard. | |
| Then she fires back. | |
| A quick counter � right hand, dead center � stuns Dove. They | |
| clash in the center of the ring, forehead to forehead, chests | |
| slamming, trading hooks and uppercuts in a savage close-range | |
| brawl. | |
| Then � BOOM. | |
| Laura whips a left hook that lands flush on Dove�s right cheek. | |
| The punch turns her head. Her body twists violently. Her legs | |
| betray her. | |
| Down she goes. Flat on her back, staring at the ceiling lights. | |
| The ref begins the count. | |
| 1... 2... 3... | |
| Dove groans, blood dripping from her mouth, blinking hard as if | |
| trying to stay conscious. | |
| 4... 5... | |
| She rolls to her side, clutching her ribs. | |
| 6... 7... | |
| On her knees now, eyes glassy but time is running out! | |
| 8... 9... | |
| She rises just before the count is over � swaying, battered, but | |
| upright. Barely! | |
| The ref gives her a long, serious look... then waves Laura back | |
| in. | |
| Laura doesn�t hesitate. | |
| She rushes forward, snapping off rapid combos � right breast, | |
| left jaw, right hook to the belly. Dove stumbles back into the | |
| ropes and ties Laura up again. | |
| This time it's Laura with the cheap shots. Some rabbit punches | |
| to the back of the head and a couple of sharp elbows to the | |
| breasts gets a stern warning from the ref. | |
| "You�re lucky this ain�t MMA," Dove snarls through clenched | |
| teeth. "I�d have snapped your leg already." | |
| Laura doesn�t respond � just sinks a short right into Dove�s | |
| kidney in reply then shee shoves Dove into the corner and drills | |
| an uppercut to her left breast. | |
| The bell rings. | |
| The ref physically wedges between them as they glare at one | |
| another, both panting, sweat-drenched, faces swollen and | |
| bruised. | |
| As they head to their corners Dove turns around and gives Laura | |
| a shove in the back sending her stumbling into her trainers. | |
| "****! You'll pay for that!" | |
| This is no longer a contest as Laura is showing why The Awesome | |
| Aries are the best boxers in the UCC and she plans on proving | |
| that in the next round. | |
| Judge Scorecards � Round 2: | |
| Judge 1: 10-8 Laura Marano | |
| Judge 2: 10-8 Laura Marano | |
| Judge 3: 10-8 Laura Marano | |
| Dove Cameron: 16 - 16 - 17 | |
| Laura Marano: 20 - 20 - 19 | |
| Dove�s in serious trouble, but she�s not done yet. | |
| Laura�s bleeding from the mouth. Her right eye is starting to | |
| close. | |
| They�re both battered. Both furious. | |
| Round 3: Laura Marano vs. Dove Cameron | |
| The bell rings, and you can feel the tension boil over. | |
| Laura Marano wastes no time. She storms out of her corner like a | |
| woman possessed, aiming low and hard � jabbing, hooking, | |
| crossing, but not to the head. No, every punch is zeroed in on | |
| Dove Cameron�s aching breasts. | |
| Thump. Thump. Crack. | |
| Laura�s left jab snaps Dove�s right breast sideways, the leather | |
| slamming into the swollen flesh with a sickening bounce. Dove | |
| winces, her mouth open in a soundless gasp. She tries to | |
| retreat, but Laura is all over her, landing another hook, then a | |
| cross, then an uppercut that nearly lifts Dove�s left breast | |
| free of her top. The crowd is on its feet, roaring with each | |
| brutal connection. Laura is on a mission and that is to | |
| separate Dove's breasts form her sports bra. | |
| Dove, teeth clenched, dives in for a clinch, her arms wrapping | |
| around Laura's torso in a desperate bid to stop the onslaught. | |
| Laura doesn't stop � instead, she goes dirty. She slips short | |
| elbows into Dove�s ribs and underboob, twisting her body to | |
| grind the point of her elbow in until the ref forcibly pulls | |
| them apart. | |
| "Watch the elbows, Marano!" the referee shouts. "You break when | |
| I say break" | |
| Laura grins wickedly. "Whatever." | |
| As soon as they�re broken, Laura steps forward and lands two | |
| sharp jabs � both to Dove�s chest again. Dove lets out a hiss | |
| and loses it. | |
| With a growl, Dove lunges forward and tackles Laura to the | |
| canvas. They roll � a mess of arms, legs, snarling faces, and | |
| tangled limbs. The crowd explodes. Both women are screaming and | |
| swearing as they struggle for top position, locking legs, | |
| yanking hair, swinging blindly as they wrestle on the mat. | |
| The referee dives in, shouting commands. Officials rush the | |
| ring. Finally, the fighters are pried apart. | |
| "WARNING! CAMERON!" the ref yells. "NEXT TIME YOU LOSE A POINT � | |
| OR YOU GET DISQUALIFIED!" | |
| Laura brushes herself off, smirking and breathing heavily. Dove | |
| storms back to her corner, eyes wild. | |
| The fight resumes with both corners furious. Laura still has the | |
| upper hand, but Dove is raging, throwing with renewed fury, | |
| forcing Laura to defend. Laura uses the jab to reestablish | |
| control, flicking Dove�s breasts again and again, drawing gasps | |
| and groans. | |
| Then the bell. | |
| Laura steps forward and � WHACK � lands a short cross to the | |
| side of Dove�s right breast after the bell. | |
| "YOU F$CKING CHEAT!" Dove screams and lunges. | |
| They crash into each other again, rolling on the mat in a ball | |
| of limbs and fury. Trainers and officials once more storm the | |
| ring to separate them but this time Dove is on top raining down | |
| punches but Laura is able to cover up and wraps her legs around | |
| Dove's waist and squeezes. Dove freezes in agony as she tries to | |
| pry Laura's strong legs apart. | |
| The crowd is a mix of cheers, boos, and pure bedlam. The arena | |
| feels like it�s about to explode. | |
| Both fighters are dragged back to their corners kicking and | |
| screaming. | |
| The ref visits both corners and issues one final warning: "One | |
| more infraction from either fighter and the match ends in a | |
| forfeit." | |
| "Don't lecture me! I didn�t do anything illegal!" Laura shouts. | |
| "I can�t help it if she doesn�t like getting her t!ts* | |
| rearranged! You saw it, she attacked me!" | |
| Dove hears that. She screams from across the ring, pointing at | |
| Laura. "You�ll eat those words, you sneaky little ****!" | |
| The crowd is frothing with anticipation. | |
| Judge Scorecards � Round 3: | |
| Judge 1: 10-9 Laura Marano | |
| Judge 2: 10-9 Laura Marano | |
| Judge 3: 10-9 Laura Marano | |
| Dove Cameron: 25 - 25 - 26 | |
| Laura Marano: 30 - 30 - 29 | |
| Laura landed more shots, controlled the pace, and hurt Dove | |
| badly,especially her breasts � but if she keeps crossing the | |
| line, she might just throw this fight away. Dove, blood boiling, | |
| is teetering on the edge of control. She want to kill Laura but | |
| she seems to be playing right into Laura's trap. | |
| Round 4: Laura Marano vs. Dove Cameron | |
| The bell rings for Round 4, and the dynamic has changed. Laura | |
| Marano is in complete command. After three grueling rounds, | |
| she�s clearly ahead on points, her combinations sharper, her | |
| footwork cleaner, her confidence soaring. She�s battered Dove�s | |
| midsection, taunted her, punished her breasts, and walked away | |
| from every exchange with a sneer of superiority. Th Awesome | |
| Aries once again proving that they are, without a doubt the | |
| best boxing stable in the UCC, bar none. | |
| Dove Cameron looks flustered, her arms slow to lift, her body | |
| pink and purple with bruising, her breaths shallow. The swelling | |
| around her right eye is beginning to affect her peripheral | |
| vision. Every time Laura lands another jab to the chest or | |
| sneaky hook under the ribs, Dove grits her teeth, forced to | |
| absorb more punishment than she can return. | |
| Laura stalks her with a predatory grin, shuffling her feet and | |
| flicking out her jab like a whip, goading Dove with every step. | |
| "C�mon, Wuss. What�s wrong? You can�t handle a little breast | |
| work?" Laura snarls, launching another stiff hook to Dove�s left | |
| breast that rocks her backward. | |
| "You're just like Rodrigo, all talk, weak t!ts!" | |
| Dove�s corner screams for her to clinch, to calm down, to stop | |
| playing Laura�s game. They know she�s on the verge of losing not | |
| just the round � but the entire fight. | |
| Then something changes. | |
| "Do you want me to take it easy on you? This isn't much of a | |
| fight for the finale." | |
| Dove, flushed with rage but suddenly composed, sets a trap. She | |
| takes a pair of hard jabs to the breasts � letting them land � | |
| grunting with each stinging thud. She bites down on her | |
| mouthpiece, eyes narrowing. She sees it coming: another smug | |
| right cross aimed straight at her cleavage. | |
| But this time, she�s ready. | |
| She slams a short, brutal right hook directly into Laura�s left | |
| ear. | |
| CRACK. | |
| Laura stumbles, her eyes going glassy. Her balance evaporates, | |
| and she begins to spin slowly to her right, dazed, reeling in | |
| place. The crowd roars � they smell blood. | |
| Dove doesn�t hesitate. | |
| She steps in and slams a left cross to the side of Laura�s head. | |
| Laura crumples. | |
| DOWN GOES MARANO! | |
| Laura drops to one knee, swaying, her glove pressed against her | |
| ear as her head rings. The ref starts the count as Laura blinks | |
| hard, trying to make the ring stop spinning. | |
| "FOUR!" | |
| "FIVE!" | |
| "SIX!" | |
| "SEVEN!" | |
| At eight, she forces herself up, legs rubbery, but arms raised. | |
| The ref gives her a long look, then waves Dove in. | |
| Two minutes remain � and Dove is like a storm. | |
| She charges Laura, cutting off the ring, violently shoving her | |
| back into the corner. Then comes the punishment. She plants her | |
| right leg between Laura�s, locking her down. Now Laura�s | |
| trapped, chest exposed, arms pinned too low to defend. | |
| Dove launches a full-scale breast assault. | |
| Cross to the right tit. Jab to the left. Uppercut to the center. | |
| Jab, jab, jab. Another uppercut. The crowd gasps at the sheer | |
| ferocity � Laura�s top is stretched and soaked, her breasts | |
| heaving and swaying from the endless barrage. | |
| "You like that! Still feel like talking, Marano?" Dove hisses | |
| through gritted teeth. | |
| Laura crosses her arms over her chest. Dove swivels her hips and | |
| bounces a hook to the ribs then a cross buries itself in Laura�s | |
| solar plexus. The breath explodes from her lungs as Laura tries | |
| to suck in air but nothing is coming as her eyes open wide. | |
| Her backside slides down the ropes. | |
| DOWN AGAIN! LAURA S DOWN AGAN! | |
| The ref waves Dove off as Laura sits on her round cheeks, | |
| gasping, one glove clutching her chest. The count starts. Her | |
| corner is screaming. | |
| "FIVE!" | |
| "SIX!" | |
| "SEVEN!" | |
| She gets up again � barely � at eight. She sways, eyes foggy, | |
| lips bloodied. | |
| The ref steps close, checks her gloves, her vision. | |
| "You good? There is a 3 knockdown limit. Fights over if you go | |
| down again this round. Do you understand?" | |
| Laura nods once. | |
| The ref sighs and waves them in. | |
| There�s forty seconds left � and Laura is in survival mode. Dove | |
| is all over her, throwing wild hooks and uppercuts to the chest | |
| and belly, but Laura clinches, covers up, and holds on for dear | |
| life but Dove roughly shoves her off. A left uppercut to the | |
| right breast, a cross to the liver and a hook to the gut and | |
| Laura fold in two and is about to go down. Dove winds up and is | |
| a about to drop the bomb when the bell finally rings. | |
| The round is over as Dove hold back a left hook. Laura stumbles | |
| back to her corner like a broken puppet, chest bruised and | |
| aching, ribs screaming with each breath, her gut swirling in | |
| agony with each breath. | |
| The momentum shift. Massive. Laura is in survival mode and will | |
| struggle to make the bell. In one round Dove has not only taken | |
| the momentum, she might have just won the fight. | |

| Round 5: Laura Marano vs. Dove Cameron | |
| The bell rang, and there was no delay. Dove Cameron, riding high | |
| after a dominant Round 4, charged out of her corner with | |
| confidence and bad intentions etched across her bruised face. | |
| Laura Marano, still reeling from the two knockdowns and the | |
| punishing body assault, was slow to rise from her stool. Her | |
| chest was mottled with red welts, her breathing labored, but her | |
| eyes�those steely eyes�still burned with defiance. | |
| Dove feinted low, and Laura flinched, bracing her arms to | |
| protect her already-abused body. Dove grinned cruelly. It had | |
| worked. With Laura�s guard lowered, Dove exploded forward with a | |
| left-right combination to Laura�s jaw, snapping her head back. | |
| The follow-up right cross crushed Laura's cheek, and a thudding | |
| left slammed into her temple. | |
| Laura staggered backward into the ropes, arms flailing to stay | |
| upright. | |
| "Fight back, Laura!" screamed her corner. "Come on, FIGHT!" | |
| Dove saw the opening and pressed her advantage. A series of | |
| devastating body punches followed�three left hooks to the liver, | |
| a right to the belly button, and a vicious shovel hook to the | |
| ribs. Laura groaned, her body folding around Dove�s gloves. The | |
| crowd gasped as the ref quickly stepped between them. | |
| "STANDING EIGHT!" he shouted, beginning his count. | |
| Laura slumped in the corner, arms draped over the ropes, swaying | |
| slightly. | |
| "You�re going to have to fight back, or I�m stopping this!" the | |
| referee barked, hands out. | |
| Laura shoved him. | |
| "DOES IT LOOK LIKE I'M DONE!" she screamed. | |
| The crowd roared as Dove stalked forward. | |
| "Come on, Marano," she taunted. "You're supposed to be able to | |
| fight. This is embarrassing. Is the big bad Aries ready to | |
| quit?" | |
| A wicked belly shot drove Laura forward, her body bending in | |
| agony, eyes squeezed shut. The ref took a half-step toward them, | |
| ready to intervene�ready to call the fight�the refs arms | |
| crossed�it's over! | |
| Then it happened. | |
| Laura erupted from her crouch, twisting her hips and launching a | |
| monstrous uppercut. It ripped through Dove's guard and detonated | |
| on her chin. Dove�s head snapped back violently, and her legs | |
| betrayed her�buckling, wobbling, stumbling. The ref threw his | |
| arms up in disbelief. | |
| "SHE'S STILL IN IT!" | |
| Laura surged forward like a woman possessed. She pounced, | |
| snapping a jab into Dove's nose and hammering a hook into her | |
| cheek. Dove reeled, shocked, backpedaling. Her smirk was gone, | |
| replaced by a stunned, vacant expression. | |
| But Dove wasn�t done either. | |
| With sheer grit, she bit down on her mouthpiece and returned | |
| fire, swinging a looping right that crashed into Laura�s | |
| shoulder. Laura responded with a left jab�but Dove ducked and | |
| countered with a cruel uppercut to Laura's already bruised right | |
| breast. | |
| "AGHHH!" Laura screamed. | |
| Furious now, she tore into Dove, landing a three-punch combo to | |
| the chest, ending with a shot that visibly lifted Dove's left | |
| breast from her top. The two exchanged fire with reckless | |
| fury�jabs, hooks, uppercuts, nothing clean, everything brutal. | |
| The round was chaos. | |
| Laura shoved Dove backward, pounded a right into her sternum, | |
| and leaned into a jab that split Dove's lip. Blood painted | |
| Dove's teeth as she fired back a body shot, then went high with | |
| a left hook to the temple. | |
| The bell rang. Neither heard it at first. | |
| They stood toe-to-toe, panting, eyes locked with murder in their | |
| hearts, fists cocked. | |
| The ref surged between them, shouting, "ENOUGH! BACK TO YOUR | |
| CORNERS!" | |
| Both women backed away reluctantly, glaring. Dove wiped blood | |
| from her mouth and scowled. Laura stepped towards Dove and gave | |
| her a shove in the back sending her hurling towards her corner. | |
| "I'M STILL HERE, ****. I'M STILL HERE!" | |
| "The fans went wild." | |
| It was Dove�s round�she�d done enough early and scored a | |
| standing eight count�but the story of the final minute was all | |
| Laura. She may have lost the round, but she had clawed her way | |
| back from the brink and looked like she could go another ten | |
| rounds. | |

| Round 6: Laura Marano vs. Dove Cameron | |
| The crowd was thunderous, a sea of sound crashing against the | |
| walls of the arena, but in the ring, it was quiet chaos. Laura | |
| Marano and Dove Cameron stood bruised, battered, and breathless. | |
| The war they had waged for five brutal rounds had left them each | |
| with nothing in the tank but heart. The bell rang for the sixth | |
| and final round, and Dove, in control of the scorecard, | |
| exploded forward. | |
| Dove unleashed a flurry of punches with everything she had | |
| left�left hook, right cross, jab, jab, straight to the face, | |
| another to the body. It landed clean and Laura reeled back, her | |
| guard high, weathering the storm. Dove drove her back into the | |
| ropes, hammering her with a three-punch combination that rattled | |
| her skull. The crowd surged with a roar as Laura staggered but | |
| refused to go down. | |
| "Come on, Laura!" some very concerned fan screamed from | |
| ringside. "Don't let her do this to you!" | |
| Dove gritted her teeth, her eyes wide with fury and desperation. | |
| She planted her feet and launched a devastating overhand right. | |
| Laura barely deflected it, and Dove followed with a sweeping | |
| hook to the ribs. Laura gasped but didn�t give in. Her legs bent | |
| and her knees touched, her back hit the ropes�but then something | |
| shifted. | |
| Dove hammers Laura�s belly with piston-like rights, then slams a | |
| brutal hook into her ribs. She steps in and blasts a straight | |
| right to Laura�s face � a shot that would�ve dropped most women. | |
| Laura reels, but Dove isn�t done � uppercut to the chin, then a | |
| wicked triple combo to the navel. THUD! THUD! THUD! | |
| "WHY WON�T YOU JUST GO DOWN?!" | |
| Laura sways, nearly out on her feet, legs rubbery, arms dangling | |
| � but that wicked grin won�t leave her lips. "You�ll have to do | |
| better than that, Barbie," she taunts. Dove snarls, rips a hook | |
| to the ribs, then another to the belly � but Laura absorbs them | |
| and beckons, "COME ON, BLONDIE! Hit me!" | |
| Dove stepped in again, looking for the final blow, but Laura | |
| ducked, and with a furious grunt, ripped a left hook to the | |
| belly. The biggest punch of the night landed flush, folding Dove | |
| like a beach chair. A loud gasp escaped her lips as she dropped | |
| to her knees, both arms clutching her gut. | |
| The ref jumped in. | |
| "ONE!" | |
| "TWO!" | |
| Dove shook her head, blinking back the tears and willing her | |
| limbs to respond. | |
| "THREE!" | |
| "FOUR!" | |
| She staggered to her feet at the count of seven, swaying. The | |
| ref gave her a look, saw the fire in her eyes, and waved it on. | |
| Laura took a deep breath and advanced like a lioness on the | |
| hunt. | |
| "Looks to me like you're done, Cameron?" she growled through her | |
| mouthguard. | |
| She pounced. Hook to the liver. Right to the solar plexus. Dove | |
| stumbled back eyes wide mouth open, and Laura torqued an | |
| uppercut under her chin. Dove�s head snapped up, mouthguard | |
| flying out of the ring, eyes now vacant. The crowd erupted. | |
| Laura followed with a left hook to the jaw and an uppercut to | |
| the underside of Dove�s raw breast that sent shockwaves through | |
| her frame. | |
| Dove staggered but didn�t fall. The ref stepped in again. | |
| STANDING EIGHT COUNT. | |
| The crowd was on its feet now, screaming, waving, fists in the | |
| air. The bell hadn't rung yet, and Laura wasn�t done. She hated | |
| Dove and this was her moment to end her rival. Beat her down to | |
| nothing and place a stamp on her. | |
| The referee stepped back�and Laura surged like a storm | |
| unleashed. | |
| She tore into Dove with merciless fury, her fists a blur of | |
| leather and venom. A vicious right hook to the belly crumpled | |
| Dove slightly, followed by a left straight to the ribs that made | |
| her cry out. Laura didn�t pause. She stepped in and slammed a | |
| triple combo to Dove�s already bruised and battered breasts�left | |
| jab, right cross, left uppercut�cruel, deliberate, and | |
| unrelenting. Dove�s body jolted with each impact, her top | |
| ripping open as she staggered back. | |
| Dove�s arms fell limply to her sides. Her mouth hung slack. Her | |
| eyes were glazed. Her legs buckled, barely holding her up. | |
| She was out on her feet. | |
| Laura, lips curled in a feral grin, dipped low then loaded up | |
| the right hand, cocked it back, and lunged forward for the final | |
| crippling blow� | |
| But the referee leapt in just in time, wrapping his arms around | |
| Dove as she collapsed into him. He shouted for the bell, waving | |
| it off. | |
| "IT'S OVER. THE FIGHTS OVER!" | |
| Laura screamed in triumph, arms raised, chest heaving, as Dove | |
| sagged in the ref�s arms�beaten, broken, and humiliated. | |
| "That�s it! That�s it! She�s done!" | |
| The bell clanged, but it was barely heard over the explosion | |
| from the stands. Laura threw both arms into the air and | |
| screamed, her voice rising above the noise, primal and | |
| victorious. | |
| The ref dragged a slumping Dove to her corner as her team | |
| scrambled to catch her. She blinked slowly, trying to focus, her | |
| mouth moving without sound. | |
| Laura climbed the ropes, roaring, sweat flying from her face, | |
| her gloves raised high. The moment belonged to her. It belonged | |
| to The Awesome Aries. | |
| Winner by sixth-round | |
| TKO: LAURA MARANO. | |
| Post Fight: | |
| The bell had already rung. The fight was over. But the emotions | |
| inside the arena were just beginning to boil. | |
| Laura Marano stood in the center of the ring, her gloves raised | |
| high, sweat-drenched and bruised, yet radiating with triumph. | |
| Her right eye was nearly shut, her lip split, her ribs | |
| aching�but none of it mattered. She�d survived hell. She�d | |
| outlasted Dove Cameron. She had won Sin City Slugfest VI. | |
| A roar erupted from the crowd as Laura climbed the ropes, | |
| throwing both arms up, screaming into the rafters. "THIS IS MY | |
| HOUSE! SIN CITY BELONGS TO US! WE OWN F$CKING SIN CITY!" she | |
| shouted, and the crowd fed off her energy, chanting her name as | |
| she soaked it all in. This wasn�t just a win. It was a | |
| declaration. A statement. | |
| Across the ring, Dove Cameron slumped on her stool, her body | |
| wrecked and spirit shattered. A towel draped around her | |
| shoulders, eyes glassy with frustration, she stared down at her | |
| feet, refusing to look across the ring. Her chest was red and | |
| swollen from Laura�s final barrage, her stomach bruised | |
| black-and-blue, and worst of all � her pride had taken a beating | |
| no ice or bandage could fix. | |
| She had Laura. Just like Joey King did. And just like Joey, she | |
| couldn't put Laura away. | |
| The cameras followed Laura as she made her victory lap, slowly | |
| circling the ring with one glove raised and the other pointing | |
| over at her fallen rival. She deliberately stopped in front of | |
| Dove�s corner, turning her back for a moment, then glanced over | |
| her shoulder with a cruel smirk. | |
| "Look up, Dove," Laura said loudly enough for everyone ringside | |
| to hear. "I want you to see what a winner looks like." | |
| Dove didn�t move. | |
| But Emily Osment, one of Dove�s teammates, wasn�t having it. She | |
| stormed toward the ropes and shouted, "You smug little b!tch!" | |
| then gave Laura a sharp shove to the shoulder. | |
| Laura stumbled back�but Vanessa Marano was already on the apron. | |
| She lunged at Emily, grabbing a fistful of her blonde hair. | |
| "Back the hell off!" Vanessa screamed as Emily yanked her hair | |
| in return. Both women locked in a vicious hair-pulling match, | |
| snarling and cursing as security rushed to pry them apart. | |
| Dove, still seated and broken, didn�t intervene. She didn�t have | |
| the energy. | |
| She just watched as the chaos swirled around her � a fighter | |
| who�d come so close, only to be forced to witness her rival�s | |
| victory parade� all at her expense. | |
| Locker Room � The Winner | |
| Laura Marano sat on the bench in front of her locker, still | |
| glistening with sweat and pride. Her gloves were off, her sports | |
| bra lay by her side and a and damp towel was draped over her | |
| shoulder barely covering her pert breasts. Laura took in a | |
| deep breath as the adrenaline was wearing down, but her | |
| confidence was only growing. She leaned back against the cold | |
| metal, a smirk on her face as the interviewer took a seat across | |
| from her. | |
| Interviewer: "Are you okay? You took some real punishment out | |
| there." | |
| Laura: snorts "Hell yes, I�m okay. I just beat the snot out of | |
| one of the toughest fighters in the UCC. How could I not be | |
| okay?" She wipes her brow and flashes a grin. "That�s what war | |
| looks like when you walk out the winner." | |
| Interviewer: "Dove gave you all you could handle." | |
| Laura: "She always does. Look, I�ve said it before�Dove�s tough | |
| as hell. She knows me inside and out, which makes every fight | |
| razor close. That�s why we�re the biggest draw in the UCC. No | |
| one gets people on their feet like the two of us." | |
| Interviewer: "You now have a 4-3 lead over her. Is this it? | |
| Final chapter?" | |
| Laura: laughs "Not even close. We�ve got one more coming�The | |
| Final Verdict. MGM pitched it. Think a ton of brutal tests of | |
| strength, all ending in an MMA fight. And all for charity. | |
| Winner takes the spotlight and the donation pot." | |
| Interviewer: "You think you�ll win it all?" | |
| Laura: "Of course I do. I�ve seen the lineup and honestly� I | |
| like my chances. A lot of it plays to my strengths. But if it | |
| comes down to the final match�" she shrugs "So be it." | |
| Interviewer: "But the final event is an MMA match�Dove�s domain. | |
| She�s a seven-time lightweight champion. She just beat you in | |
| that cage. Nearly snapped your leg. Isn�t that concerning?" | |
| Laura: leans forward, eyes flashing "Not even a little. I had | |
| her in that fight. Everyone saw it. I lost focus for one second | |
| and she capitalized. That�s not happening again. If we even make | |
| it that far, she better pray I don�t end it before we hit the | |
| mat. I�ve got her number now. I'm in her head." | |
| Interviewer: "Especially in boxing�" | |
| Laura: "Exactly. The Awesome Aries don�t lose in Sin City. Six | |
| events, six main event wins. You want domination? How is that | |
| for domination?" | |
| Interviewer: "Wait� all six? That can�t be right."The | |
| interviewer starts counting on her fingers. | |
| Laura: grins "Let me help you count." | |
| � Sin City Slugfest I: Harumi Nemoto over Kylie Jenner | |
| � Slugfest II: Katharine McPhee over Sofia Richie | |
| � Slugfest III: Katharine McPhee over Gigi Hadid | |
| � Slugfest IV: Katharine McPhee over Kylie Jenner again | |
| � Slugfest V: Debby Ryan over Joey King � and bonus: Katharine | |
| beats Debby after | |
| � And now tonight: Me, Laura Marano, over Dove freaking | |
| Cameron. | |
| She throws her arms out theatrically. "Six. And. Oh." | |
| Interviewer: "That�s complete domination. What makes the Awesome | |
| Aries such a powerhouse in boxing?" | |
| Laura: "Katharine McPhee. She�s our queen and she runs a tight | |
| ship. If you're not in the gym every day, you're off the team. | |
| She teaches the science and the savagery of boxing. That�s why | |
| we don�t just win�we f$cking own the ring." | |
| Interviewer: "Why wasn�t Katharine in Sin City Slugfest VI? No | |
| competition left?" | |
| Laura: laughs "No, no. Katharine wanted to see how her team | |
| would perform under the spotlight. She stepped back to let us | |
| shine�and we delivered. I think we went 4-2 overall, but | |
| could�ve easily been 6-0." | |
| Interviewer: "Let�s get back to tonight. You were nearly | |
| finished. Dove had you one knockdown away from a stoppage." | |
| Laura: shrugs "Yeah, so what? She had her chance. Just like | |
| Joey. And just like always� she couldn�t finish the job. That�s | |
| the story of her whole damn career. The Disney Princess gets | |
| close, but she never seals the deal." | |
| Interviewer: "We�re all looking forward to the Final Verdict in | |
| Vegas next month. Any final words for Dove?" | |
| Laura: grins with venomous glee "Yeah. Maybe wear a thick padded | |
| bra next time. You�re gonna need it." | |
| She bursts into a maniacal laugh as the interviewer stares, | |
| wide-eyed. | |
| Locker Room � The Loser | |
| The scene in Dove Cameron�s locker room was subdued�no | |
| celebration, no crowd of teammates or fans. Just a quiet, heavy | |
| silence, broken only by the slow drip of melted ice in a bucket | |
| near the bench. Dove sat hunched forward, still in her fight | |
| shorts and a towel around her shoulders, her ribs bruised, lip | |
| split, sports bra in tatters and her pride stung. | |
| The interviewer sat across from her, notebook in hand, voice low | |
| but firm. | |
| Interviewer: "Dove, there�s no easy way to ask this. What | |
| happened out there?" | |
| Dove: exhales "She beat me. No excuses. No spin. I lost | |
| tonight." She wiped blood from her lip with the towel. "I had | |
| her right where I wanted her�and I let it slip." | |
| Interviewer: "You seemed dominant in the middle rounds. You had | |
| her on the verge of a stoppage in Round 5. What changed?" | |
| Dove: nods slowly "I got greedy. I wanted the knockout. She | |
| baited me, and I took it. Laura�s tough. She�s always been | |
| tough. You leave a door open for half a second, she�ll kick it | |
| off the hinges. That�s what she did. I didn�t recover." | |
| Interviewer: "This puts her ahead 4-3 in your rivalry. Is that | |
| hard to accept?" | |
| Dove: looks up, eyes steady "It sucks. Of course it does. I�m | |
| not gonna pretend it doesn�t. But every time we fight, it�s a | |
| war. I�ve beaten her before. I�ll beat her again. Vegas is | |
| coming. Her ass is mine." | |
| Interviewer: "Let�s talk about the bigger picture. The Awesome | |
| Aries are dominating. They went 4-2 tonight. The Badass Barbies? | |
| Crushed. Now the Disney Princesses are 2-5 overall in Sin City | |
| Slugfest history and one of your two wins is from former Lost | |
| Wildcat Debby Ryan. Is that embarrassing?" | |
| Dove: sits up straighter, eyes flash "Yeah. It is. We�re not | |
| gonna hide from that. It�s been a brutal wake-up call. The Aries | |
| come to fight. They train like animals. And yeah, right now, | |
| they�ve got the edge. But this war isn�t over." | |
| Interviewer: "I have to ask�Laura landed some vicious punches to | |
| your breasts in those middle rounds. That had to be painful. Why | |
| did you let her do that to you?" | |
| Dove: grimaces, shifting in her seat "Look�nobody likes getting | |
| punched in the ****. It hurts like a b!tch, and believe me, if I | |
| could�ve stopped it, I would�ve. But when you�re in that ring, | |
| and you�re already hurting, sometimes you just can�t protect | |
| everything. Laura has knockout power so you have to keep your | |
| guard high and tight. She takes advantage downstairs." | |
| Interviewer: "Still, she went after them deliberately�uppercuts, | |
| hooks, even a triple combo late. Was that part of her game plan | |
| similar to her mauling of Olivia Rodrigo?" | |
| Dove: nods, clearly frustrated "Yeah, because Laura�s a little | |
| **** sometimes. She knows where to hit to hurt. She knows I�ve | |
| got pride in how I fight and what I represent. So yeah�she | |
| targeted them. Over and over. It�s not just physical�it�s | |
| psychological. She was trying to break me." | |
| Interviewer: "Did she?" | |
| Dove: long pause, voice low "No. I�m still standing. I didn�t | |
| quit. She may have won this fight, but she didn�t break me. And | |
| in Vegas, she�ll learn what real pain feels like when someone | |
| targets her pride." | |
| Interviewer: "You were visibly shaken after the final round. | |
| What were you thinking in that moment?" | |
| Dove: pauses "Mostly that I let my team down. And myself. But | |
| also� that I�ve never been more motivated. I�ve taken hits | |
| before, in and out of the cage. I always come back harder." | |
| Interviewer: "Some say Laura's in your head. She�s gotten under | |
| your skin�and stayed there." | |
| Dove: snorts "That b!tch lives in my head, sure. But not | |
| rent-free. I charge her pain every time we fight. She got the | |
| better of me tonight, but that�s not permanent. I learn fast. I | |
| hurt faster." | |
| Interviewer: "Final Verdict is next. It ends in an MMA bout. | |
| Laura says you had your shot and couldn�t finish her. What�s | |
| your response?" | |
| Dove: smiles coldly "Let�s see how smug she is when I�m grinding | |
| her into the mat in front of 20,000 people. I was born for MMA. | |
| She knows it. Vegas will be the end of this�and the end of her | |
| streak." | |
| Interviewer: "Last question. Any message for the Aries?" | |
| Dove: leans forward "Enjoy it while it lasts. Your lucky | |
| streak�s ending next month. And when it does, I�m dragging Laura | |
| Marano down with it." | |
| Sin City Slugfest VI � Wrap-Up | |
| Sin City Slugfest VI delivered everything it promised�violence, | |
| drama, heartbreak, and triumph�and in the end, it was Laura | |
| Marano who stood tall over a bloodied and beaten Dove Cameron, | |
| adding a sixth consecutive main event victory for the Awesome | |
| Aries and furthering her legacy as one of MGM�s fiercest | |
| competitors. | |
| Outside the ring, the heat boiled over. A brief clash between | |
| Emily Osment and Vanessa Marano hinted at deeper tensions | |
| between stables, adding another layer of animosity heading into | |
| Vegas. | |
| With this win, Laura now leads the head-to-head rivalry 4-3, and | |
| momentum is firmly on her side heading into "Final Verdict", the | |
| ultimate decathlon-style showdown between the two bitter rivals. | |
| Twenty challenges�ranging from tests of strength, agility, | |
| endurance, and skill�all ending with a MGM-sanctioned MMA match, | |
| where Dove is favored� on paper. | |
| But after tonight, nothing is certain. | |
| Dove�s pride is wounded, but her fire remains. Laura�s | |
| confidence is sky-high, and her team�led by the ever-dominant | |
| Katharine McPhee�has proven they know how to win when it counts. | |
| The war isn�t over. | |
| It�s just beginning. | |
| Final Verdict: Vegas. Winner takes all. | |
