UFC boss Dana White paid social media influencer Bob Menery $50,000 after he introduced him to YouTube stars the Nelk Boys.
White has developed a close friendship with the social media sensations over the last few years, inviting them to countless events, helping them land Donald Trump as a podcast guest and gifting key member Kyle Forgeard a massive bag of $250,000 in cash for his birthday this year in a move that drew controversy online.
But the relationship between White and Menery, who was the initial contact between the two sides, has soured after the podcaster was removed from Nelk's successful Full Send podcast. Menery has been taking aim at Forgeard for the fallout, and included White in a montage of guests that he reportedly got on the show in the early days when he was co-host.
