White addressed the versatility of his team. He said, “It’s something that we’ve been building on for a long time. And one of the coolest things about this sport is how many of these fighters can actually do it. This is not easy to do. It’s a very tough thing to do. And whether it’s sitting here on the ESPN desk or calling the fights or whatever it is, I love how many opportunities we have for them, you know, outside of the octagon.”
