UFC boss Dana White has been labelled a "bald idiot" by one of his former fighters for gifting YouTube prankster Kyle Forgeard $250,000 for his birthday.
Forgeard, one of the founders of YouTube prank crew Nelk Boys, turned 28 earlier this month and UFC president White left the prankster speechless when he unwrapped the generous birthday present. The gift has divided the opinions of fans and fighters, with some defending White stating the money has come out of his own pocket whilst others have stated he should have used the gift to pay his fighters.
Former UFC heavyweight Mark Hunt said the gift is a slap in the face to many UFC fighters, with the current minimum guaranteed purse in the promotion being just $12,000. "That's just a slap on these fighters, that's what upsets me because these fighters are probably living on $10,000. They can't get sponsors and that bald idiot goes and gives that YouTuber $250,000. That's more than probably more than some of the champions get, that's disgusting," Hunt told The AllStar.
