Dana White sat in his usual ringside spot for UFC 268 on Saturday night, but that didn’t stop him from tuning into the big Canelo Alvarez-Caleb Plant fight.

A lot of people found it ironic that White was watching a boxing match in the middle of his own company’s pay-per-view event. White had no problem admitting it, however. He told reporters after UFC 268 that he watched the Alvarez fight because he bet $100,000 on Canelo.

White won the bet, of course, as Alvarez destroyed Plant with an 11th-round knockout (video here). Canelo retained his three super middleweight championship belts with the win and claimed Plant’s IBF title to give him four titles across the weight class.
