The lights were shining bright at the Encore Beach Club on Saturday night. After a memorable fight night, it was time for a celebration. Volkanovski was obviously the star attraction at the club, but he wasn’t the only champion present. Recently crowned NBA champions Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon also showed up along with Israel Adesanya, Aljamain Sterling, and many more on a star-studded night.
Myles took to Instagram stories to share a post by the official handle of UFC, which showed the news of Alexander Volkanovski?s victory over Yair Rodriguez with the caption, ?STILL THE UNDISPUTED CHAMP.? Myles provided his own caption to the picture, stating, ?Oh it?s gunna be a GOOOOOD night!??

Even though Myles has made a name for himself in the fashion industry, the young O?Neal carries the same level of affinity and passion for music as his father. That passion for music and MMA collided as Volkanovski?s TKO victory was celebrated in style.

While Myles made his debut at the UFC after-fight party, it was his father who seemingly stole the show. DJ Diesel had the crowd jumping up and down. ‘The Great’, who knocked out Yair Rodriguez in round 3, just hours before the party, joined the 4x NBA champion on stage to show off his title. With this victory, he successfully retained his title yet again and proved his dominance in the division.
In a post shared by the official page of the club, the celebrities can be seen enjoying their night. The UFC Featherweight champ even got up on the DJ set, displaying his belt to everyone in attendance.
