What's up everybody? Hey, welcome to the other episode of The Way and In Show. I just wanted to jump on real quick and talk, man. You've got some noncommittal stuff coming from Dana White.

0:09.8

Basically coming down to is Connor going to fight? I've been hearing a lot of other things that Connor is he's back in training. He's doing well.

0:17.6

Things look like they're lining up for him to potentially fight at the White House. But you have Dana White coming out with comments. Shelf in the Chandler fight. That was

0:26.5

years ago. What was that? Three years ago. That should have happened three years ago. And then also

0:30.5

to Mazvedol with his comments about got big news. Everyone's speculating on Mazvedal and Connor
