UFC CEO Dana White is an honorary member of the social media influencer group Nelk Boys. UFC bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley is the group’s ambassador. The group has different business ventures, and one of them is the FULL SEND podcast on YouTube. The podcast started with Bob Menery, another American influencer and Power Slap gamer, as one of the co-hosts. Many UFC fighters like Justin Gaethje, Islam Makhachev, Colby Covington, and O’Malley have appeared on the podcast.

However, Menery had a fallout with Kyle Forgeard and other members of the Nelk Boys. Menery left the podcast and started a podcast of his own. The fallout was due to financial reasons, as Menery felt the Nelk Boys underpaid him. However, Forgeard felt Menery was ungrateful for his more than a million dollar revenue with the Nelk Boys.
