What happened

The arrival of Jaxson Dart and Cam Skattebo last season briefly gave the Giants something to be excited about during another miserable season at MetLife Stadium last year.

Why it matters

On Saturday night, the duo — whose rookie seasons were impacted by injuries — reunited for UFC 328 at the Prudential Center in Newark.

Common ground

They were shown in the crowd together and lightly head-butted for the camera, mimicking their move they debuted last season with the Giants.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
