Dana White gifts $250,000 to Nelk Boys member as a birthday gift

Recently, Dana White gave Kyle Forgeard from the Nelk Boys $250,000 in a plastic bag for his birthday. Forgeard nicknamed the UFC president "Uncle Dana" on Twitter after revealing the gift.

"Uncle @danawhite just gave me $250,000 for my birthday.."

The two businessmen have seemingly developed a close relationship since their friendship developed on Fight Island. The Nelk Boys offer the chance for the UFC to gain exposure to a younger audience, with the YouTubers mainly posting prank videos on their channel.

However, some MMA fans were unhappy with the gift, especially given the constant debate over fighter pay.
