Canelo Alvarez Reacts to Dana White Watching His Fight During UFC 268

Canelo Alvarez made history on November 6th at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. However, a little over 2500 miles away, on the other side of the country, the UFC 268 event was creating a lot of buzz. The UFC card, stacked with champions and top 3 contenders fighting against each other, drew many eyes towards it.

During the UFC 268 event, a picture of UFC president Dana White watching the Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant fight went viral. White sat ringside during the co-main event, and a monitor in front of him streamed the Canelo vs Plant fight. Canelo reacted to the viral moment via his Instagram stories.

Well, to be fair to Dana White, no one would want to miss Boxing history. Canelo Alvarez made history on Saturday night as he became the first-ever ‘undisputed’ super-middleweight champion. Caleb ‘Sweethands’ Plant put up a good fight, and Canelo was not up to his dominant best the entire fight.

Caleb Plant started off the fight well, winning early rounds on the scorecards. However, after the 4th round, it was all Canelo till the end of the fight. The Mexican used his body shots and power to connect well and dismantle Plant at the end. Throughout the fight, he changed levels and kept going at his head and body. In the eleventh round, Canelo closed the fight out, knocking Plant twice.
