>MMA media: 'Zhang vs Rose nearly signed!'
'We finally got it this time, well, I think' Dana White Jr said. 'My father was always hopeful about this before he passed away in the great Google-Disney war of 2031 but I think this time we finally coaxed Rose out of her shell'. Sources have reported that a proviso to allow Namajunas to commune with her emotional support transdog in the cage between rounds was the final stumbling block.
White Jr confirmed Carla Esparza's minders in the Huntingdon Beach Nursing Home were on standby to drag her to the cage if a substitute is needed. 'It's been tough for Carla not having fought since 2019 for reasons I can't get into now, but we think she's still got it, her minders say she's not even blinking at the hellacious zimmerframe workouts they're putting her through, and we've told her we have a slot ready for her if she just waits a little longer' White Jr said, before adding to the thronging reporters, '...you fucking goofs'.
President Covington went public on Twitter3.0 to express support for Namajunas, hoping to 'finally repatriate this precious piece of treasure from those commie animals and make America great again (really this time, trust me guys)'.
