| Weigh In | |
| At the weigh-in, Chandler Kinney steps onto the scale first, 128 | |
| pounds, compact and athletic, eyes focused straight ahead. Tate | |
| McRae follows, 130 pounds, standing tall and confident, her gaze | |
| locking onto Chandler�s. The two women hold each other in a | |
| tense stare down, unflinching, neither backing away, their | |
| rivalry radiating in the silent intensity of the room. Security | |
| and officials hover nearby, ready but not needing to intervene, | |
| as the crowd murmurs in anticipation. The atmosphere is | |
| electric, a quiet tension before the storm. | |
| Chandler keeps her fists relaxed at her sides, jaw tight, | |
| breathing controlled. Tate shifts slightly, bouncing lightly on | |
| her heels, a smirk threatening but not fully forming. They | |
| exchange no words, just measured, calculating looks�each | |
| assessing the other, noting every twitch, every muscle, every | |
| sign of intent. The moment stretches, long and charged, until | |
| the referee signals the weigh-in is complete. The two finally | |
| step back, still locked in their mental battle, and the | |
| anticipation for their showdown in the ring builds palpably. | |
| Walk Out | |
| The arena lights dim and the music hits, signaling the walkouts. | |
| Chandler Kinney steps onto the stage first, wearing a deep red | |
| sports bra and matching shorts that highlight her toned frame. | |
| Her expression is laser-focused, and she pumps her fists once | |
| for the crowd, which erupts in cheers. Every step toward the | |
| ring is precise, measured, her eyes never leaving Tate, who | |
| stands waiting at the ropes. | |
| Tate McRae follows, clad in a sleek black and gold outfit, her | |
| movements smooth, confident, almost gliding as she enters. She | |
| flashes a small, controlled smile, but her eyes are sharp, | |
| locked on Chandler. The crowd roars at her presence, sensing the | |
| tension between the two. She steps into the ring with a fluid | |
| grace, bouncing lightly on her toes, hands raised in a ready | |
| stance. | |
| As the bell for introductions nears, both fighters stand at | |
| opposite ends, the intensity between them palpable. They | |
| exchange no words, only hard, calculating stares, the kind that | |
| promises the upcoming fight will be a battle of skill, | |
| endurance, and raw willpower. | |
| The referee raises each fighter�s hand, signaling that all is | |
| set, and the bell for round one is moments away. | |
| Odds | |
| Based on their attributes and fighting styles, the betting odds | |
| favor Chandler Kinney slightly for her combination of power, | |
| cardio, and speed, but Tate McRae�s precision, jab, and | |
| defensive skills make her a strong challenger. | |
| Official odds: | |
| Chandler Kinney -130 | |
| Tate McRae +110 | |
| Chandler is the slight favorite due to her balanced offense and | |
| resilience, but Tate�s reach, head movement, and | |
| counter-punching ability make her dangerous, so this fight could | |
| easily go either way. | |
| Round 1 | |
| The bell rings and both fighters explode out of their corners, | |
| circling each other warily before unleashing their first | |
| volleys. Chandler feints low, then snaps a sharp jab toward | |
| Tate�s chin, which she barely dodges, countering immediately | |
| with a hook to Chandler�s ribs. The crowd roars as they trade | |
| rapid combinations, Chandler landing a thudding cross to Tate�s | |
| midsection while Tate fires back with a flurry of hooks and | |
| quick jabs to Chandler�s shoulders and head. | |
| They pivot and weave, each trying to find an opening. Chandler | |
| lands a vicious uppercut that snaps Tate�s head back, followed | |
| by a crushing body shot that makes the smaller fighter wince. | |
| Tate counters with a low hook to Chandler�s ribs, then jumps in | |
| with a straight cross, catching Chandler under the eye. Blood | |
| immediately begins to bead from a nose strike as Tate�s power | |
| punches find their mark, and the crowd can barely contain their | |
| excitement. | |
| Both women are relentless, exchanging strikes like seasoned | |
| warriors. Chandler ducks a wild hook and comes back with a | |
| spinning hook to Tate�s chest, leaving her staggered. Tate | |
| responds with a sharp jab-right-left combo to Chandler�s face, | |
| snapping her head back and drawing a gasp from the audience. | |
| Near the end of the round, a slight slip from Chandler almost | |
| looks like a knockdown, but she catches herself just in time, | |
| her balance saved by lightning-fast reflexes. | |
| The bell finally rings, but both are breathing heavily, sweat | |
| mingling with the trickle of blood from Tate�s nose. Each is | |
| battered, bruised, but ready to continue. The crowd erupts in | |
| appreciation of the relentless pace and punishment handed out. | |
| Score: Chandler 10 � Tate 9 | |
| Running Total: Chandler 10 � Tate 9 | |
| Round 2 | |
| The fighters come out cautiously, knowing Round 1 took a toll, | |
| but it doesn�t take long before both are trading ferocious | |
| combinations again. Tate, still nursing her bloody nose, presses | |
| Chandler with quick jabs, snapping her head back repeatedly, but | |
| Chandler anticipates a straight cross and slips low, catching | |
| Tate�s ribs with a punishing hook that makes her double over. | |
| Tate shakes it off and counters with a spinning back fist to | |
| Chandler�s shoulder, followed by a vicious uppercut that leaves | |
| Chandler staggering. | |
| They clinch briefly, grinding against each other, then break | |
| apart with fists flying. Chandler lands a nasty body blow to | |
| Tate�s midsection that seems to knock the wind out of her, but | |
| Tate responds with a hard cross to the jaw that causes Chandler | |
| to stumble toward the ropes. The crowd roars at the sheer | |
| intensity as both fighters are now visibly fatigued but refusing | |
| to back down. Sweat runs down their faces as they unleash | |
| flurries�Tate targeting the ribs and chest, Chandler retaliating | |
| with hooks and uppercuts aimed at Tate�s head and body. | |
| Chandler feints to the left then drills Tate with a hook to the | |
| ribs and Tate is hurt. Her legs are wobbly and she stumbles back | |
| the ropes catching her before she goes down! That last shot | |
| shook Tate and she clinches tight holding on until the ref | |
| breaks them apart. | |
| A controversial moment occurs when Chandler slips and goes down, | |
| but she rolls away and jumps back to her feet. Tate sees the | |
| opening and lunges with a vicious hook to the abdomen, then | |
| lands a jab to Chandler�s temple, but Chandler weaves and | |
| responds with a thudding cross to Tate�s midsection and Tate is | |
| wincing in agony. The bell rings, ending the round just as they | |
| throw simultaneous hooks at each other as the ref sends them to | |
| their corners. | |
| Score: Chandler 9 � Tate 10 | |
| Running Total: Chandler 19 � Tate 19 | |
| Round 3 | |
| Both fighters come out swinging, knowing the fight is dead even. | |
| Tate�s left eye is beginning to swell from a sharp cross | |
| Chandler landed late in Round 2, and a fresh trickle of blood | |
| starts from a grazed nose. Chandler presses the attack | |
| immediately, jabbing to Tate�s ribs and snapping a hard hook to | |
| the cheek that makes her wince. Tate counters with relentless | |
| body shots, pounding Chandler�s abdomen and chest, and the crowd | |
| roars at every punishing strike. | |
| They trade blows in a brutal back-and-forth, neither giving an | |
| inch. Chandler lands a straight right that snaps Tate�s head | |
| back, then smashes a short hook under her ribs. Tate doubles | |
| over but recovers quickly, driving her knee slightly forward in | |
| a clinch to create space and landing a vicious uppercut that | |
| opens a small cut under Chandler�s left eye. Blood drips, mixing | |
| with sweat, and Chandler reels but doesn�t back down. | |
| Midway through the round, a particularly nasty exchange leaves | |
| both women gasping, leaning on each other for a brief moment | |
| before breaking apart. Another hook from Chandler grazes Tate�s | |
| nose, drawing more blood, while Tate responds with a thudding | |
| cross to Chandler�s body. Both are now sucking air, their torsos | |
| heaving, muscles trembling, bruises forming across their ribs | |
| and midsections. The bell finally sounds, giving them a moment | |
| to regroup but leaving the crowd on their feet, applauding the | |
| raw intensity. | |
| Score: Chandler 9 � Tate 10 | |
| Running Total: Chandler 28 � Tate 29 | |
| Round 4 | |
| Both fighters come out still reeling from the previous round, | |
| sweat dripping and muscles tight, eyes locked with unrelenting | |
| focus. Chandler moves first, using her reach to snap off jabs, | |
| then sneaks in a vicious cross to Tate�s ribs that doubles her | |
| over. Tate counters with a hard hook to Chandler�s midsection, | |
| but Chandler absorbs it and swings back with a punishing | |
| uppercut that clips Tate under the chin. | |
| Tate stumbles, trying to recover, but Chandler doesn�t let | |
| up�she drills a series of body shots, chest and ribs, and Tate�s | |
| legs start to wobble. Another crushing hook to the abdomen sends | |
| Tate stumbling backward into the ropes, her mouthguard flying | |
| slightly, and suddenly she goes down hard, her knees and side | |
| hitting the canvas with a loud thud. The crowd gasps, and the | |
| referee drops immediately to start the count. | |
| Tate�s arms flail, trying to push herself up, but the pain is | |
| evident�her ribs and midsection throb from the brutal bodywork. | |
| She beats the count at eight, but she�s clearly shaken, every | |
| breath sharp and labored. Chandler retreats slightly, circling, | |
| jabbing to keep Tate off balance, while Tate sways, trying to | |
| regain footing, her left eye already beginning to swell from | |
| earlier damage. | |
| The bell finally sounds, giving Tate a brief reprieve, and her | |
| corner rushes in to stabilize her, pressing ice to her side and | |
| back, while Chandler smirks and shakes off the hits she took, | |
| ready for the next round. | |
| Score: Chandler 10 � Tate 9 | |
| Running Total: Chandler 38 � Tate 38 | |
| Round 5 | |
| Tate limps to the center of the ring, her legs shaky and body | |
| tight, knowing she�s already behind on points and her stamina is | |
| teetering. Chandler wastes no time, circling with sharp jabs and | |
| lunging hooks aimed squarely at Tate�s ribs and midsection. Each | |
| body shot lands like a hammer, folding Tate forward, her arms | |
| instinctively coming up to protect her aching torso. Sweat drips | |
| from both fighters as the pace intensifies, Chandler using her | |
| reach and power to dominate the center of the ring. | |
| Tate tries to fight back with a couple of quick jabs and an | |
| overhand hook, but her strikes lack the snap they had in earlier | |
| rounds. Every time she swings, Chandler counters, forcing her | |
| back again. Tate clinches desperately, wrapping her arms around | |
| Chandler to slow the relentless body assault and steal a second | |
| or two to breathe. The referee steps in briefly, separating | |
| them, but Chandler immediately snaps back with a quick | |
| combination to the body and ribs, keeping Tate off balance. | |
| By the final thirty seconds, Tate is visibly wobbly, swaying on | |
| her feet as each hit sends shocks through her torso. She barely | |
| survives the round, her corner stepping in to rub down sore | |
| muscles and press ice against her ribs and midsection. Her | |
| breathing is shallow, labored, and her body is throbbing from | |
| the consistent punishment. Chandler retreats with a small smirk, | |
| knowing she�s taken control of the fight. | |
| Score: Chandler 10 � Tate 9 | |
| Running Total: Chandler 48 � Tate 47 | |
| Round 6 | |
| Chandler comes out aggressively, riding the momentum from the | |
| previous round, her confidence radiating. She starts with a | |
| flurry, body punches and hooks snapping toward Tate, trying to | |
| end the fight early. But her overconfidence leaves openings. | |
| Tate ducks a wide hook, counters with a crushing uppercut to | |
| Chandler�s jaw, and suddenly the tide shifts. | |
| Chandler reels back, dazed, her stance faltering. Tate moves in | |
| quickly, jabbing repeatedly at Chandler�s already throbbing | |
| ribs, then drives a sharp cross straight to her nose. Blood | |
| bursts free, pouring down Chandler�s face and chest, mixing with | |
| sweat, and forcing her to backpedal in shock. The crowd gasps as | |
| Chandler�s eyes widen�her overconfidence punished brutally. | |
| Tate senses weakness and presses the advantage, hammering the | |
| body and chest, each shot sending Chandler wobbling, barely | |
| keeping her gloves up to protect her head. Chandler tries to | |
| retaliate but her punches are sluggish, mistimed, and partially | |
| blocked by Tate�s solid defense. Tate lands a knee to the | |
| midsection in the clinch, doubling Chandler over, then steps | |
| back to land precise jabs to her bloodied face. | |
| The referee watches closely, counting off seconds as Chandler | |
| struggles to stay upright, her legs shaky and chest heaving. She | |
| survives the round but is battered, bleeding, and clearly | |
| shaken. Tate, breathing hard but focused, has turned the round | |
| decisively in her favor, exploiting every vulnerability and | |
| punishing Chandler for her early overconfidence. | |
| Score: Tate 10 � Chandler 9 | |
| Running Total: Chandler 57 � Tate 57 | |
| Round 7 | |
| The bell rings, and both fighters come out swinging, knowing the | |
| fight is teetering on a knife�s edge. Chandler, still reeling | |
| from her bloody nose and battered body, tries to press the | |
| attack, but her punches are sluggish and telegraphed. Tate, | |
| sensing her opponent�s fatigue, moves with precision, landing | |
| stiff jabs and body shots that echo through the arena. | |
| Chandler tries to clinch, but Tate wedges inside, driving elbows | |
| to the ribs and short hooks to the torso. The pain forces | |
| Chandler to stagger back, her legs wobbling dangerously. Tate | |
| feints, then unloads a brutal combination to Chandler�s chest | |
| and abdomen, sending her stumbling into the ropes. Tate lands a | |
| crushing uppercut to Chandler�s jaw while her head bounces off | |
| the rope, and the referee steps in to administer a standing | |
| eight. | |
| Chandler sways like a ragdoll, blood still streaming from her | |
| nose, chest heaving as she struggles to regain composure. The | |
| referee counts, but she barely gets her gloves up before the | |
| eighth count. Tate paces around, jabbing at the body and testing | |
| Chandler�s defense, landing two more punishing hooks to the ribs | |
| before the bell. | |
| Chandler survives, but it is clear she is hurt and has been | |
| dominated for most of the round. Tate�s strategy of exploiting | |
| the earlier bloodied nose and Chandler�s wobbly legs has paid | |
| off, leaving her opponent gasping and teetering, though still | |
| upright. | |
| Score: Tate 10 � Chandler 8 | |
| Running Total: Chandler 65 � Tate 67 | |
| Round 8 | |
| Chandler comes out cautiously, her battered face a map of the | |
| punishment she�s endured. Blood from her broken nose drips down | |
| her chest, mixing with sweat as she tries to keep her guard | |
| high. Her left eye is already swelling badly, threatening to | |
| close, and every movement sends sharp pain shooting through her | |
| head. Tate, sensing her opponent�s vulnerability, immediately | |
| targets the body and head, landing punishing hooks to the ribs | |
| and short, crisp shots to the temple. | |
| Chandler staggers under the onslaught but refuses to go down. | |
| She clinches when she can, trying to catch her breath, but Tate | |
| pulls back and rakes her with a series of punishing punches, | |
| leaving Chandler swaying on her feet. The referee notices the | |
| swelling eye and the persistent bleeding and halts the action. A | |
| doctor rushes in, carefully inspecting Chandler�s eye and nose. | |
| Chandler protests, insisting she can continue, refusing to back | |
| down. After tense moments, the doctor allows the fight to | |
| continue, giving the all-clear, though it�s obvious Chandler is | |
| in serious trouble. | |
| The round resumes, and Chandler scrambles to survive, blocking | |
| as best she can, but Tate is relentless. She lands a final body | |
| shot that makes Chandler gasp for air just as the bell rings, | |
| saving her from further immediate punishment. Chandler�s | |
| toughness keeps her upright, but the damage is severe�her nose | |
| broken, her eye threatening to shut, and her body thoroughly | |
| punished. | |
| Score: Tate 10 � Chandler 9 | |
| Running Total: Chandler 74 � Tate 77 | |
| Round 9 | |
| Chandler emerges for the ninth round, but it�s clear the | |
| previous punishment has taken its toll. Her nose is broken, | |
| blood still trickling down her chest, and her left eye is | |
| swollen shut from the relentless beating. Tate, sensing the | |
| finish, wastes no time targeting the big red target. She drives | |
| a punishing series of hooks and uppercuts straight to Chandler�s | |
| nose, each strike forcing her to stagger back, wincing with | |
| every thud. Short body shots to the sternum follow, leaving | |
| Chandler gasping for air and barely able to keep her hands up. | |
| Chandler tries to rally, clinching when she can, but Tate breaks | |
| free repeatedly, landing crisp combinations that make Chandler�s | |
| head snap back. The eye is now nearly closed, the swelling | |
| severe, and the referee is forced to step in. He halts the | |
| action and calls the doctor over for an immediate inspection. | |
| The doctor checks Chandler�s eye and nose carefully, noting the | |
| severity of the swelling and blood. Chandler, ever stubborn, | |
| protests that she can continue, but the referee makes the call. | |
| With the crowd holding its breath, the ref waves off the fight. | |
| Tate raises her hands as the victor, Chandler barely able to | |
| stand, bloodied, bruised, and exhausted. It�s a brutal finish, a | |
| clear statement of dominance. | |
| Tate McRae wins by stoppage due to a swollen eye/broken nose. | |
| The Official Decision | |
| Bruce Buffer steps into the center of the ring, voice booming | |
| over the roar of the crowd, his energy electric. | |
| �Ladies and gentlemen� after nine grueling rounds in the cage, | |
| the doctors have determined that Chandler can no longer safely | |
| continue. This fight goes to your winner by TKO� Tate McRae!� | |
| The crowd erupts as Tate raises her arms, sweat and blood | |
| dripping, chest heaving, but her grin unstoppable. Chandler sits | |
| on her stool, corner reluctantly agreeing with the stoppage, her | |
| left eye completely swollen shut, her broken nose still | |
| bleeding, the fight too dangerous to continue. | |
| The announcer steps aside as the crowd cheers wildly, the brutal | |
| battle leaving both fighters marked and unforgettable, but a | |
| definitive conclusion is reached�the fight ended not with | |
| controversy, but with the undeniable toll of punishment. | |
| Post Fight Interview | |
| Joe Rogan steps in, still buzzing from the chaos, microphone | |
| raised as Tate McRae catches her breath, blood drying across her | |
| torso, her hair matted with sweat. | |
| JOE ROGAN: �Tate� my god. What a war. First things first�how do | |
| you feel about the stoppage? The doctor waved it off after | |
| Chandler�s eye completely closed and that nose was just pouring. | |
| Did you think it was the right call?� | |
| TATE McRae: exhales, nodding sharply �Yeah� look, I�m a fighter. | |
| I always wanna go the distance, and honestly? Chandler�s a tough | |
| **** for sure. Tough as hell. She hits HARD. Like� every shot | |
| she landed, you feel it in your bones.� She wipes her nose and | |
| winces. �But her nose was smashed early, and that eye? Real bad. | |
| I saw it getting worse every round. I�d have kept throwing, and | |
| she couldn�t see outta that side anymore. As much as I respect | |
| her toughness, I�m not out here trying to cripple anyone, even | |
| an Awesome Aries as tempting as that may be.� | |
| JOE: �It definitely looked like you started targeting that eye | |
| and nose once they were compromised. Was that the game plan, or | |
| did you adapt mid-fight?� | |
| TATE: �Adapted for sure. She lit me up in the second�I mean, you | |
| saw my mouthpiece go flying. But once I broke her nose and saw | |
| the swelling starting� look, this is a fight, Joe. You go for | |
| openings. And Chandler? She wasn�t backing off. She kept coming | |
| forward, so I had to slow her down.� | |
| JOE: �There was a moment in Round 8 where the doctor came in. | |
| Chandler practically shoved him away. What was going through | |
| your head when they let the fight continue?� | |
| TATE: smirks a little �I knew she�d say yes. The Aries�s are | |
| stubborn as hell, she must get that from Laura Marano. That girl | |
| would fight with her head hanging on by a thread. But I also | |
| knew that gave me about� what? One round before something gave | |
| out. I just stayed sharp.� | |
| JOE: �Did you expect the eye to close completely?� | |
| TATE: �After the third straight right hand landed? Yeah. She was | |
| blinking, squinting, wiping at it�classic signs. Once it sealed | |
| shut, I knew the ref wasn�t gonna let it go.� | |
| JOE: �Fans are saying this might be the toughest fight of your | |
| career. Agree?� | |
| TATE: �One hundred percent. She pushed me harder than anyone. I | |
| respect the hell outta her. And trust me�if we ever run this | |
| back, I know she�ll show up twice as dangerous.� | |
| JOE: �Anything you want to say to Chandler right now?� | |
| TATE: looks into the camera, serious �Heal up sweetie and we can | |
| do this again. You gave me a war. And thank you for that. I'd | |
| like to go a few more rounds and maybe one of us can finish the | |
| other.� | |
| Joe nods, grabs her wrist, and raises Tate�s arm again to the | |
| roaring crowd. | |
| Losers Locker Room | |
| Erin Andrews steps quietly into the Chandler Kinney locker room. | |
| Ice packs, bloody towels, and a half-collapsed stool tell the | |
| story of the last nine rounds. Chandler sits on a bench, head | |
| tilted back slightly as a cutman works on her swollen, | |
| completely closed left eye and her heavily bandaged, crooked | |
| nose. | |
| ERIN ANDREWS: �Chandler� you seemed upset when the fight was | |
| stopped. How are you feeling now?� | |
| CHANDLER KINNEY: gives a tired laugh, winces as the cutman | |
| adjusts the bandage �Upset? Of course. I could still see�at | |
| least out of one eye. And look� to be honest, Tate was kicking | |
| my ass by that point. It�s fine. I�ll survive. I�ll be back.� | |
| ERIN: �Did she break your nose?� | |
| CHANDLER: touches the bridge gently and sucks in a pained breath | |
| �Not right away� but yeah. It�s broke. I can barely breathe out | |
| of it, but hell�war wound, right? Something to talk about | |
| later.� She smirks through the pain. �Not my first, definitely | |
| won�t be my last.� | |
| ERIN: �How about the second round? Tate was hurt�probably worse | |
| than you realized. Did you know just how badly you had her | |
| rocked?� | |
| CHANDLER: her eyebrows lift despite the swelling �Really? That | |
| bad? I knew I should have knock her on her ass, sh!t!� | |
| ERIN: �She was wobbling. Mouthpiece flew. One more clean shot | |
| and she was going down.� | |
| CHANDLER: snorts, immediately regretting it as her nose throbs | |
| �Damn� I knew I tagged her, but I didn�t realize it was that | |
| bad. If I�d known she was on the edge like that? I would�ve | |
| finished her right there. No question.� | |
| ERIN: �Looking back now, do you feel the stoppage was fair?� | |
| CHANDLER: �Fair? Yeah. I can admit that. My eye was gone, my | |
| nose was useless, and she was dialing in every shot. But it | |
| doesn�t mean I have to like it. Fighters never wanna be saved | |
| from themselves.� | |
| ERIN: �Is there anything you want to say about Tate�s | |
| performance?� | |
| CHANDLER: �She�s tough. Strong. Smarter in there than people | |
| give her credit for. She saw my face falling apart and went | |
| after it. That�s what you�re supposed to do.� | |
| ERIN: �And a rematch?� | |
| CHANDLER: a slow, painful grin spreads across her face �Hell | |
| yeah. Once this eye opens again and this nose stops throbbing? | |
| Sign me up. I want another crack at her and trust me, the next | |
| time it will end with Tate on her ass.� | |
| Erin nods, offering a sympathetic hand to Chandler�s shoulder as | |
| the fighter exhales, bruised but unbroken. | |
