Here in the United States, there was a landmark legal decision that has been noted in the press (newspapers) ever since as "Roe v. Wade" but there a lot of similar cases.

One would be, for instance; "The match tonight of Smith versus Jones will decide who advances to next week's title match against the reigning champ, Battling Bob Braxton.". Or whatever names you'd want to use. "Versus" just means "against" or "opposed to".
