Dana White is set for a very busy week promoting two events in two different sports.
The UFC will celebrate Mexican Independence Day with a show in Glendale, Arizona, on September 12.
On the same night at Noche UFC, Zuffa Boxing will host a fight between Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn in Las Vegas.

Who wins between Conor Benn and Ryan Garcia?
Now that the super-fight has been confirmed, who do you think gets it done and how?
Dana White plans to attend Noche UFC & Garcia vs Benn
On Friday, it was announced that Noche UFC is set to start three hours before Zuffa Boxing’s biggest event yet.
If everything goes to plan, the card headlined by Jean Silva vs. Jose Delgado will also finish three hours before Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn get in the ring.
Dana White is planning to use the time difference to make sure he attends both of them.
Barring any flight issues, the UFC boss will be there live for Noche UFC and Garcia vs Benn.
“Yeah, so I’ll probably fly in the night before into Arizona, and we’ll do Noche,” White told Sports Central.
“Then, as soon as Noche ends, I jump on the plane and fly to Vegas and do the event.”
“And the great thing about that boxing card, too, from the first fight of the night, just like a UFC card, the matchmaking is incredible. Every fight is a real fight, from the first fight to the last fight.”
“It’s a great day of fights. Might be the greatest day in combat sports for the year.”
