Dana White issues X-rated response to critics of $250,000 gift to YouTube prankster

UFC boss Dana White has told people to mind their "f****ng business" after being criticised for gifting YouTube prankster Kyle Forgeard $250,000 on his birthday.

Forgeard is one of the founders of YouTube prank group Nelk Boys. The group, who have over one billion views on YouTube, have become increasingly involved with the UFC in recent years and are often cageside for pay-per-view events. One of their presenters was recently slapped by UFC veteran Nate Diaz whilst backstage at an event earlier this month.

White made sure to be there for Forgeard's 28th birthday and also got him a jaw-dropping gift of $250,000 wrapped in a plastic bag. Forgeard was "in shock" at the gift and labelled White as the "best f****ng mentor/friend" ever. The gift didn't go down well with fans as many said White should focus on paying his fighters more before handing money out to YouTube stars.
