Dana White lost her patience when commenting on the 'million dollar gift' worth US$250 (about R$1,3 million) given to YouTuber Kyle Forgeard, from the group 'Nelk Boys' – an entertainment company, as a birthday present . When asked about the matter, the UFC president refuted criticisms about the value and highlighted that he spends his money as he sees fit.
“I will clarify all of this. First, to all the people on the internet, f*** you. I spend my money however I want. And mind your own sh*t business. Number two, if you look at what Kyle and the Nelk Boys did, they never asked for anything and they're great people. Kyle, for example, has done great things for me and $250 doesn't cover it all. So, don’t count other people’s money and take care of your f***ing lives”, said Dana in a post-Contender Series interview.
