The Dub Connect

#BrittneyGriner #WNBA #UFC Welcome back to the Dub Connect.  Each week Antonio Williams and Jackie Rae breakdown some of the biggest headlines in sports. Segment 1 - Brittney Griner is finally home.  Several Americans are uninformed and outraged because the Biden administration brought Griner home and not former Marine Paul Whelan.  We breakdown why that anger is misguided.  Segment 2 - The fights in UFC 282 did not disappoint! But, the judges did. Why are they calling these fights completely wrong.  Why does this continue to happen? Is some of this the fault of Dana White?
