You’re Conor McGregor. Your rampage injured fighters, caused property damage, and resulted in your arrest, live and in public, if you will. You were released on bail, but what PR moves do you need to take to bring your Burger King commercial back on tv? – 0:50

You’re Dana White. Last week, you called Conor McGregor’s bus attack “the most disgusting thing that has ever happened in the history of the company”. This week? “We talked, it’s good,” is it…and why? – 8:32

You’re the UFC. What lessons have you learned in wake your traumatic UFC 223 PR and matchmaking machinations last weekend? – 15:12
