The Snarky Glove:
#1 UFC & MMA Gossip Source for Fangirls
Dearest Fans,
After years of giving his all in the octagon and elevating the national attention of this sport to dizzying heights, Travis Carter announced his retirement from the UFC this afternoon.
At the standing-room-only event, the ‘Humble Kid from the Emerald City’ extensively thanked his millions of fans before personally addressing his wife, family, and staff.
Guests were treated to a final meet-and-greet session, where they were gifted golden charm replicas of Mr. Carter’s championship belt.
True to his forever-cocky form, he engraved a set of parting words on the back of every jewel:
Congratulations on being lucky enough to witness my legendary career.
There will never be another champion like me.
He declined to answer questions about his future plans, which leaves us selfishly hoping that he’ll change his mind down the line.
Stay tuned for more news & updates,
The Snarky Glove
EPILOGUE TWO
TATIANA
Las Vegas, Nevada
Iwalked through the double doors of Brave Beauty Marks, dodging the nails and lopsided boards that jutted from the floor.
Although the ten-story building was still a major work-in-progress, I couldn’t help stopping by every day. I took my time strolling through every room, hopelessly wishing that my attempt at business wouldn’t fail this time.
Stepping into the space that was set to become my office, I ran my fingers along a page of blueprints. As I was admiring the rooftop’s layout, heavy footsteps sounded in the hallway.
Within seconds, Travis rounded the corner with his championship belt draped over his shoulder.
“Seriously?” I smiled. “The belt isn’t a dog, Travis. It doesn’t need to go for a walk every day.”
“What if it desires fresh sunlight and tourists’ adoration?”
I tried to think of something sarcastic to say, but all I could do was laugh.
Over the past several months, that belt had traveled almost everywhere with us. Despite his retirement, he made sure everyone knew that he was going down in history as the “best fighter to ever grace this goddamn sport.”
He was also unanimously nominated for the Hall of Fame.
“You promised to finally hang that up on your trophy wall today,” I said.
“It’sourtrophy wall.”
“Same thing.”
