Reactions to UFC/WWE super-happy-fun merger

There we all were, just minding our own business, tying to enjoy our weekends when suddenly Endeavor just casually drops that, oh yeah, they’re going to buy WWE and roll it into a single, publicly traded company with the UFC. Say what now? As you might imagine, this rather mind-blowing news quickly put to rest any notion of us talking about PFL, Bellator or GameBread Boxing 4 on Monday’s episode of the Proper. So, here are our initial reactions to Vince McMahon and Dana White becoming co-workers and (we’re just guessing here) best friends.

Plus, there actually is a lot to say in advance of Saturday’s UFC 287, where Israel Adesanya faces what is almost certainly his last chance to defeat Alex Pereira in literally anything.
