After last week saw Maria Cucinotta and Liz Hurley fight, both Liv and Keeley arranged to fight and with their names, they quickly found a big arena to fight in.
Before the fight, both were interviewed together on a BBU set, sitting on a black leather sofa as they smile for the cameras as an interviewer sits behind the camera.
Keeley asked first about her opinion of Liv, she answers "she is certainly cute, I don't know if that means she can fight, I mean she is coming into my yard if you will, I won't be playing nice"
Liv replying "oh I won't be playing either" as the girls faces lose some of that friendliness, looking more seriously at the other as a rival.
The interviewer asks Liv the same question, she answers "me and her have similar backgrounds, we started modelling, showing people that we are stunners, then we started acting and I hear us getting praised, though of course I made it into big Hollywood Movies, while Keeley is stuck on the small screen, where she belongs"
Laughing at Liv, Keeley replies "when was the last big movie you were in? You're a has been, I still get roles you would beg for"
Liv not taking that lying down, slipping her black heels off as she sits in a blue dress with a short helm, Keeley seeing that, knowing what is about happen as she slips off her own heels to just sit in a black dress similar to her rivals.
"I guess we'll see who will be begging soon" says Liv as the two cougars lunge on the sofa at each other, hands in the others hair.
Falling to the carpeted floor, they grapple with each other as security rushes in to separate the two big women, only for them to break free and clash again.
Security manages to pull the snarling women apart, both still wanting a piece of each other, they have to wait though as they get dragged off the set.
Fight night, out comes Keeley first with Katie Price behind her, she's wearing a black one piece swimsuit with matching gloves that shows her still impressive body off.
She looks confident as the crowd roar for the local favourite, though she hasn't fought since 2011, pundits wondering how much rust is on that frame.
Climbing into the ring, she gets the crowd standing and chanting her name, she bows to each side of the ring to say thank you in her way and jogs to her corner to await her opponent.
Out comes Liv with her coach behind her, she's wearing a red one piece swimsuit and matching gloves, smiling even as she gets a lot of boos, though there are cheers mixed in.
Heading to the ring, pundits comment that she hasn't fought since 2014, so she isn't much better on the ring rust side of things too.
Climbing into the ring, she smiles over an Keeley, not a friendly one; more a cocky one as she heads to her corner, bumping gloves with her coach.
Both fighters are brought to the ring centre, they glare as they trade insults, their coaches ready to dive in if these two start trading before the bell.
Asked to touch gloves, they swipe gloves and jog back to their corners, once everything is ready, the referee signals for the bell to ring to start 10 rounds of welterweight action.

The bell rings to end the round, the girls staring hard at each other, the referee pointing at their corners to get their attention.

After:
The fans in the arena look upset, most silent with only a few cheering the victor, she raises her fists as this is the first win she's had in years, grinning wildly as she stares down at the wreck that's Keeley.
The ringside doctor comes in to check on Keeley, getting the smelling salts under her nose, she awakens and shakes her head to clear it.
Staring up at the ceiling, it dawns on her that she's lost as she covers her face with her gloves, till that is she feels a foot on her chest and uncovers her eyes to look up at Liv posing over her for the cameras to boos.
She doesn't care as she looks down at Keeley, mouthing "I beat you bytch" after all the bad blood between them, it seems fitting that one stands over the other.
Katie asking Liv to get off her fighter politely, knowing she isn't a match for the big girl if she tried to threaten her, Liv does as asked, happy she's made her point as heads back to her corner.
Keeley needs to be helped up, the referee helping Price to get her onto a stool, clean up her bloody face and get the gloves off of her.
While Liv high fives her coach, he helps get her gloves off and both girls were brought to the ring centre for the final results.
Even after losing, Keeley still snipped at Liv, who fired back her own venom ladened insults, after Liv had her hand raised, Keeley nudged past the referee to square up to Liv, the two going nose to nose as the crowd chant fight, though neither feels ready to go round 2 yet.
Keeley saying to Liv "I want to pull your hair out you Yankee bytch before you retreat back to your dump" Liv almost laughing as she hears that.
"Really? You want to go with me again, without the safety of the gloves?" She asks in a mocking tone, knowing Keeley wants this as badly as she does.
"Come over to mine bytch, I'll message you the address, just make sure you turn up in your best lingerie, as I plan kicking you out into the cold knowing who the better woman is bytch" replies Keeley as she turns to leave the ring.
"You're on bytch!" Is the stern reply from Liv, Katie Price looking astounded that Keeley is so desperate to fight.
She's been happy to train the new fighters these past few years, but Liv seems to have gotten something going in Keeley, jealousy maybe, just a natural urge to fight each other.
Now they are going to be in a common catfight, like girls half their age would get into, Katie hopes she can get a ticket to this show as she heads up the ramp with Keeley.
Liv doesn't stay in the ring much longer herself, her mind elsewhere now as she stares hatefully at the leaving Keeley, the crowd are happy to see the American go too.
With all these cougars fighting in the BBU, maybe more old feuds could be settled in the ring.
