Dana White went viral recently after he gifted Kyle from the NELK Boys, a whopping $250k for his birthday.

The internet did not go easy on Dana and his friends after the birthday video came out.

When asked how the fighter was doing, Derrick replied with, “I’m doing pretty good but not better than you, man. I seen lil birthday gift, man. Sh*t I was jealous, I ain’t gon lie.” Shawny Mack had to correct Lewis that it was not him who received the gift but Kyle from the NELK Boys. The FULL SEND reporter then said the NELK boys should give Derrick some money or a deal with their booze, Happy Dad.
