Pacquiao Jr. was later asked how his fight went as he took a picture with White. The UFC President was interested in how the young boxer did and how many fights he had under his belt.

Though their interaction was brief, White clearly expressed an interest in seeing more from Pacquiao Jr. in the future.

His father, Manny Pacquaio, unfortunately could not be ringside for this event after losing in the presidential race in the Philippines.
