Dana White pulled over by police as MMA boss arrives back in Las Vegas after UFC 288
DANA WHITE revealed he was pulled over by police after arriving back in Las Vegas following UFC 288.
The UFC president smirked to the camera, with a police car in shot behind him, and said: “Welcome home. Back in Vegas.”
White is yet to reveal why the police pulled him over.
The promoter had been in New Jersey, where Aljamain Sterling, 33, beat Henry Cejudo, 36, to retain his bantamweight title.
American star Sean O’Malley, 28, entered the octagon post-fight to confront champion Sterling.
And White confirmed plans for the pair to fight in August in Boston.
Although Sterling instead wants it in Vegas and was unaware of plans to head to Boston.
He told TSN: “That’s news to me. I don’t want to go to Boston.
“Dana, I’ve been trying to fight at the T-Mobile for God knows how long. I want to fight in Vegas.
“I want to fight in Vegas where it’s nice and hot and go to a pool party. Boston is cool but I want to go back to the West Coast.”

White admitted it was not a good idea to have O’Malley face-off with Sterling in the cage.
But he all-but confirmed the bantamweight contender will be next in line for the title.
White said: “I’ve had better ideas than what I did tonight. Not a great idea but yes, [O’Malley is] next. It was a bad idea.”
