Published 07/27/2022, 5:30 AM EDT

UFC President Dana White has been criticized for fighter’s pay. In fact, he got a lot more criticism after he gifted NELK Boys member Kyle Forgeard $250,000 for his birthday. Many fighters, including Sean O’Malley and Aljamain Sterling, commented on it.

In a new episode of ‘The Pat McAfee Show’, the promoter spoke about his gift to Forgeard and the objections he received after it. White said, “You know what? I’m glad you asked me that question. You set this record straight.”

“First of all, all these people on the internet go f**k yourself. … Mind your own f**king business, number one. Number two, you know, if you look at what Kyle and the NELK Boys have done as far as Howler Head and a lot of other things that they’ve done. Those kids have never asked me for anything, ever.”

“Never asked me for anything. And they couldn’t be better people. Kyle has done so many things for me and believe me, the $250,000 that I gave him for his birthday, does not cover the amount of things that that kid has done for me.”

“So don’t count other people’s money and mind your own f**king business.”

While Pat McAfee couldn’t stop laughing at White‘s response to the question, the promoter seemed relieved to finally set the record straight.

McAfee was of the opinion that White’s gesture was that of a good friend. Dana White agreed and went on to speak about how the media portrayed the incident.

He made it clear that money was not the UFC‘s, but the money he made. Thus, he said, “I will spend it however the f**k I want.” Dana White was glad he was finally able to give an explanation.
