Yo -

While the kids are off mouthing off at each other, want to spice this up? Winner gives 10k to loser's charity.

What's up, danger?

- Ria G.

[Hope]

Why would I want to donate 10k to the Wrecking Crew?

[Ria Graziano]

Nice burn. Woulda been nicer if I was Crew, dude.

I haven't been Crew for almost a year now. Been too busy under Jaycy's skirts to notice?

[Hope]

Let me know which charity these nobles are going to.

This fight happened tonight and it was very exciting!

Our challenger was Ria Graziano! One of the Arena's newest Warlords, Ria fought under no banner and no persons of honor. Oh, but she did have a second, Jay Capistrano!

Defending the title tonight was Overlord Hope Naharis! Hope fought under the Real Rhy'din banner in white and gold. Her second was Michelle Montoya, and her people of honor were the Real Rhy'din folks!

Hope decided to test the challenger, calling on loyal Baron of Dockside, Morgan Chae to step in for him. Morgan was ready for the challenge. Initially, Myria Graziano offered to counter the test, but only a renegade baron is eligible --- so Caleb Feren, renegade Baron of Old Temple, answered the call.

Fighting with his signature twin sickle blades, Caleb jumped out to an early two-point lead attacking, but Morgan quickly worked that back, evening the score with his mean-looking crowbar in hand. Continuing to attack, Morgan found a lead of his own, but Caleb's blades soon overcame him in a combination of defense and attack, thus clearing the way for Ria's challenge.

FINAL: Caleb Feren def. MC, 5 - 3 in 10 rounds.

Ria and Hope both stepped into the ring seemingly without weapons. It was a neck-and-neck, rough and tumble fight with Ria capturing two leads, but Hope staying right on her and keeping things close through six rounds. In round seven, Hope found her first lead of the fight with a powerful hook that seemed to stagger her opponent. Ria couldn't come back from it. One more attack from Hope, and that was the end of the fight.

FINAL: Hope def. Ria Graziano, 5 - 3 in 8 rounds.

Congratulations, Hope on your fourth defense!

Well-tried, Ria!
