Post Fight InterviewJoe Rogan steps into the ring, microphone in hand, and gestures for Laura Marano, who is still catching her breath, sweat and blood matted across her face. The crowd is roaring, but Laura is laser-focused.
Joe: “Laura, first off, incredible fight. Let’s start with those early rounds—Victoria’s jab was brutal. How did you handle it?”
Laura: “Yeah, she’s got a sharp jab, no doubt. I knew I had to stay close in some moments, work the body, and take the punches strategically. That’s why I kept coming forward after slipping and getting caught on the ear.”
Joe: “Speaking of that slip and the knockdowns, you hit the canvas twice. Did that shake you at all?”
Laura: “Of course, it stings. But I knew I had to stay calm. My corner kept me composed. I didn’t panic; I wanted to turn it into opportunity and fight smarter.”
Joe: “Your body work was relentless. Did you feel it draining her by the later rounds?”
Laura: “Absolutely. Every punch to the ribs, stomach, and yes, even the breasts wore her down. You could see her slow by round eight—my power shots were adding up.”
Joe: “Targeting her breasts—did that really make a difference?”
Laura: “It did. That's my favorite target. Everyone says that it's a waste and it rally doesn't cause as much damage as say, working the ribs or solar plexus but thrust me. I don't know a single woman n the UCC that doesn't get put off her game with a few well placed punches. It slowed her breathing, kept her guessing. She couldn’t just jab freely anymore without worrying about my counters.”
Joe: “Your temper flared in the middle rounds. Did that cost you at all?”
Laura: “I had to control it. I took some shots and got frustrated, but I forced myself to stay focused. That’s boxing—emotion is part of it, but I couldn’t let it dictate my fight.”
Joe: “The fight was close, and some fans might argue she landed more punches which should give her the win.. What do you think made the difference?”
Laura: “The power shots. She jabbed, I jabbed, but when I landed clean, hard punches to her core, it added up. That’s what won me the rounds. Damage over quantity every time.”
Joe: “Did your conditioning help you outlast her?”
Laura: “Hell yes, I knew I could push her into deep waters. Cardio was key. I stayed moving, stayed composed, and kept the pressure. Ht hr as many tmes as could”
Joe: “Any regrets about any of the rounds?”
Laura: “Just the slip. That could have been disastrous. I had to recover quickly, and I did.”
Joe: “How does it feel to win such a close, grueling fight?”
Laura: “Exhilarating. Brutal, but worth it. Victoria’s a beast—she pushed me to my limits.”
Joe: “Final thought—would you fight her again?”
Laura: “In a heartbeat. She’s tough, but I know I can push even harder next time.”
The crowd erupts again as Laura’s face, bruised and battered, lights up with a victorious grin, embodying every ounce of the battle they just witnessed.

Erin: “Do you feel like you won the fight?”
Victoria: “Of course I did. I landed more punches, actually a lot more punches. I kept my range, worked my jab, and pushed her all the way. But you never want to leave it up to the judges. That’s the frustrating part. It could have gone either way.”
Erin: “There were moments where Laura really targeted your body especially your breasts. Did that affect your strategy?”
Victoria: “Yeah, it was punishing. My abs and ribs are killing me and getting punched in the **** really hurts. Laura is known for that but I knew I had to maintain my distance and jab. I tried to control the pace, but she’s relentless. She’s strong and precise.”
Erin: “Did you think about wearing a padded bra?”
Victoria: “Dove Cameron warned me when the fight was announced. I saw what she did to Olivia Rodrigo and that was brutal. So yes, I could have covered up my titties but the women of the UCC would never let me live it down. There is this unwritten rule about padded . . .padded anything.
Erin: “Looking back, what do you think you might have missed some opportunities?”
Victoria: “I had Laura’s in trouble no doubt but sh is one of the most durable fighters and she never quits. It's almost impossible to put her away. I wanted to finish her, I rally did but she is Laura Marano.”
Erin: “Would you want a rematch?”
Victoria: “Absolutely. Next time, I won’t leave it to the judges. I’ll get her early or late—I’ll make sure it’s definitive.”
“Victoria leans back on the bench, wincing from the soreness but grinning through it. “It was a war in there. I’ve got nothing but respect for her, but next time, it’s mine.”
