At LAVO Aaron Paul hosted a post fight party of his own. The Emmy Award winning actor and star of the AMC hit series Breaking Bad headed to LAVO directly after the fight for dinner with friends at the Italian eatery.  After enjoying signatures dishes including the Kobe Meatball, Chicken Parmagiano and Bread Pudding for dessert, they made their way upstairs to a table on the dance floor.  The star took pictures with fans and his friends as DJ Reach gave him shout outs throughout the night.
