Dana White believes two events he hosted lost attention to a bizarre boxing incident. The UFC president reflected on a strange moment that dominated conversation across combat sports. He staged a Zuffa Boxing show and a major UFC card within one weekend. Yet an unexpected scene from boxing stole the spotlight.
A busy weekend for Dana White
Dana White promoted his second Zuffa Boxing event at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. He staged the show on Sunday evening with several developing fighters. Twenty-four hours earlier, he delivered a UFC featherweight title rematch. Alexander Volkanovski faced Diego Lopes in a highly anticipated sequel.
White chose not to travel to Sydney for UFC 325. He watched the card from his home in the United States. He also followed a major boxing event promoted by Eddie Hearn. That show took place at Madison Square Garden in New York.
The boxing moment that shocked everyone
Shakur Stevenson defeated Teofimo Lopez in the main event. The fight drew attention, but an undercard moment exploded online. Heavyweight contender Jarrell Miller suffered an embarrassing incident during his bout. Kingsley Ibeh pressed forward late in the second round.
Ibeh landed a rapid combination and snapped Miller’s head backward. The impact lifted Miller’s hairpiece and exposed a bald patch. The crowd erupted with laughter inside the arena. Fans completely lost control when Miller removed the wig. He tossed it out of the ring before round three began.
Dana White reacts with disbelief
Dana White addressed the moment during a Sunday press conference. He admitted the incident dominated his thoughts from the night before. He said the toupee moment stood out above everything else. White called it one of the wildest things he had ever witnessed.
Satisfaction despite stolen attention
Dana White still praised the success of UFC 325. He acknowledged the boxing moment overshadowed his event online. He expressed pride in the numbers his promotion achieved. White said the live gate broke the company record again.
He described the atmosphere as electric throughout the night. White said the fights delivered excitement from start to finish. He emphasized his satisfaction with the overall card. He made clear that he loved the event despite the distraction.
