In a big change from the usual post-Asylum press conference, the Man In The Hat does not sit at the center of the dais surrounded by fighters and trainers. Instead, he sits to the left of Gemma Arterton. To her right is Anna Torv. The remainder of the chairs are empty.

Man In The Hat: "OK, Gems. This press conference belongs to you. Go head."

Gemma: "I think everyone's probably clued in on what's happening here, but, here's what I want to say. Everything that's happened in my career since 2010 is because of Anna Torv, and that's why she's sitting next to me."

Anna (smiling): "She's exaggerating. Greatly."

Gemma: "Not really. If I hadn't put a TKO2 on you that July, I'd have never been signed here..."

Anna (smiling): "She reminds me of that once in a while. And, by that, I mean once an HOUR..."

(Laughter)

Gemma (smiling): "What I really mean, though, is, we've been together since I got here, way back on July 25, 2010. This stable was only a few months old, and I had my reservations about signing. But, she convinced me Front Street was going places. And, she wasn't wrong. Front Street went places, and so did the both of us. We both won a lot of fights. And, we both won the Unified Lightweight Championship. It's been a heck of a ride."

Anna (smiling): "Sure has."

Gemma: "But, ever since Anna retired, she's been joking about me joining her on the training staff. I kept pointing out that I'm a few years YOUNGER than she is.."

Anna (smiling): "Another thing she mentions on the hour..."

(Laughter)

Gemma (smiling): "But, it's gotten to be that time. I've thought about it a lot. And, while I'm not going to go out on the very top like Anna did, I AM going to go out while I'm still a top-level lightweight. Sixty-eight fights. If anyone had told me I'd get that many FCBA fights back in 2010, I wouldn't have believed them. 57 wins. I wouldn't have believed that, either. But. Here we are. It's been great. But, it's time for the next chapter."

Man In The Hat: "Which will include hosting shows on Front Street TV and Front Street +. We have ourselves a great performer here, and we aren't gonna let that talent go to waste!"

Anna (smiling): "I actually have an IDEA for a show..."

Man In The Hat: "And, I can't wait to hear it."

Gemma (smiling): "Me, either. And, I can't wait to be a part of Front Street 3.0. We've got a ton of talent here, and we're going to be using it in different ways in 2022. So, I want to thank everyone who helped me over the last decade plus. It's been a dream, really, and it's hard to believe how quickly it's all gone by. And, it all started with me stopping Anna..."

Anna: "Nowhere NEAR an hour. Nowhere NEAR..."

(Laughter)

Gemma: "Can I say it, Wiz?"

Man In The Hat (smiling): "Why not?"

Gemma: "Tess! Smackey! Limo!"
