UFC president Dana White gives YouTube prankster $250,000 in cash for his birthday

UFC boss Dana White left YouTube comedian Kyle Forgeard speechless after gifting him $250,000 in cash for his 28th birthday.

Forgeard, who turned 28 on July 12, is one of the founders of YouTube prank crew Nelk. The group have over one billion views and seven million subscribers on the platform. They have become increasingly involved with the UFC in recent years and are often cageside for pay-per-view events.

Earlier this year, White brought Nelk along with him to Kansas City for an episode of the promotion's series 'Lookin' For A Fight'. Nelk were able to pick their own fighter and sign them to the UFC. White's good relationship with Nelk, in particular Forgeard, was yet again shown when he surprised him with $250,000 in a plastic bag for his birthday.
