“I knew that a few months ago, that they were interested in putting him in the show, and I’m glad he did it,” White told Fox Sports. “It’ll be great. The show is huge. It’s awesome, and I’m excited for him.”

One interesting take, via Esquire, is that McGregor could be used to try foil the Mountain.
