Ross said, “Dana White invited Tony Khan and I to attend. He and Tony are buddies and I’ve known Dana for a long time myself, probably not as well as Tony does.”

“When we’re in Vegas coming up in several weeks, he’s going to come to one of our events. We have a lot in common, we’re trying to sell tickets to a live event and then televise it. There’s a lot of common ground there,” he added. (H/T: WrestlingInc.)
