Like many MMA fans, UFC president Dana White found himself screaming at a screen during the conclusion of the UFC 275 main event between Jiri Prochazka and Glover Teixeira.
White, who was not in attendance at Singapore Indoor Stadium, watched the pay-per-view Saturday on a screen in what appeared to be a luxury party vehicle. White did not make the trip overseas as he stayed in the U.S. for his son’s 21st birthday celebration in Miami, but he still tuned in for what turned out to be a bonkers headlining bout.
“He tappe!” White said exclaimed in an Instagram live video. “No way! No f*cking way! Jiri f*cking tapped him out. No way. No way. What a f*cking fight. What an absolute f*cking war, man. Sh*t, my phone is f*cking blowing up.”

The back-and-forth bout between Prochazka (29-3-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) and Teixeira (33-8 MMA, 16-6 UFC) earned the two light heavyweights Fight of the Night honors. Prochazka submitted Teixeira with 28 seconds left in the fifth round to become the promotion’s light heavyweight champion.
