Dana White goes on expletive-laden rant on criticisms to $250k cash gift to vloggers

UFC President Dana White has finally broken his silence about criticisms hounding him for handing out a $250,000 cash gift to Nelk Boys' Kyle Forgeard earlier this month.

The video, which was posted by the internet sensation Forgeard himself on Twitter, drew the ire of mixed martial fans and fighters alike, complaining that White does not pay as much to more than half of his athletes in the UFC roster.

The UFC President took notice of the comments and criticisms he received online and then lashed back at his critics in an interview with The Pat McAfee Show.

"If you look at what Kyle and the Nelk Boys have done as far as Howler Head and a lot of other things that they've done, those kids have never asked me for anything, ever. Never asked me for anything, and they couldn't be better people," he said.

"Kyle has done so many things for me, and believe me, the $250,000 that I gave him for his birthday does not cover the number of things that kid has done for me. So don't count other people's money, and mind your own f****** business."

White, who has been at odds with the media in the past, also put the blame on journalists for the beating he took on social media.

"A lot of this is driven by the scumbag MMA media. So what happens is, they act like there's this massive safe here at the UFC offices that says fighter pay on it. I go in there and grab whatever I want out of the fighter pay," he said.

"This is money that I actually have made over an entire career and I will spend it however the f*** I want."
