Canelo 'A Big Part' Of Noche UFC Celebration

Canelo Alvarez was ringside for UFC 282 on Saturday night in Las Vegas.

The Mexican boxing star was a guest of honor at the event, which was headlined by a light heavyweight title fight between Jiri Prochazka and Glover Teixeira.

Alvarez was seated cageside for the main event and was seen cheering on both fighters.

He was also spotted talking to UFC president Dana White after the fight.

Alvarez's appearance at UFC 282 was a sign of the growing relationship between the UFC and boxing.

In recent years, there have been several crossover fights between boxers and MMA fighters.

Most notably, Floyd Mayweather Jr. defeated Conor McGregor in a boxing match in 2017.

Alvarez's presence at UFC 282 is likely to further fuel speculation about a potential crossover fight between him and UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman.

The two fighters have been linked to a potential fight for several years, but no deal has ever been reached.

A fight between Alvarez and Usman would be one of the biggest fights in combat sports history.

Both fighters are considered to be among the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world.

Alvarez is a four-division world champion in boxing, while Usman is the reigning UFC welterweight champion.

Whether or not a fight between Alvarez and Usman ever happens remains to be seen.

But Alvarez's appearance at UFC 282 is a sign that the lines between boxing and MMA are continuing to blur.

It's possible that we could see more crossover fights between boxers and MMA fighters in the future.
