UFC President White was present as Aidan went through and won his maiden outing in the ring, participating under the guidance of his father’s new promotional outfit Zuffa Boxing.
Trophy in hand, White was beaming with pride in two social media posts on Dana’s feed over the weekend.
Aidan had his father on his shoulder throughout his preparations and may one day decide to turn pro with his dad to look after his affairs.

White is currently enjoying a high-profile spell at the helm of his MMA company, although he has never been far away from giving his input in the squared circle.
Conor McGregor’s recent outing against Floyd Mayweather came about with White’s blessing as the Irishman is under contract with the UFC.
A rematch has been talked about in the summer. Rumors are rife that Mayweather will sign a deal with White to participate in more than one contest.
