Dana White is one of the three men who brought the Ultimate Fighting Championship into existence. It is due to White’s presidency that the UFC has prevailed and become one of the most looked-into mixed martial arts championships. It is no wonder that fans begin tagging the UFC president whenever they stumble upon something relevant to MMA on social media. Such was the case with the Island Boys’ video clip that showed them demonstrating a kick while performing on a stage.
The Island Boys were previously lifted up by Dana White when they made a video for a retiring UFC veteran. However, their interest in the sport in fact splashes from random corners.
