That show of appreciation was reciprocated in July 2022 when White gave $250,000 in cash to Nelk Boy Kyle Forgeard as a birthday present, a gesture that drew criticism from the MMA community in relation to ongoing criticism over UFC fighter compensation. In December 2021, Deleonardis gave White a custom Maybach van worth an estimated $300,000. This isn’t the first time that White and the Nelk Boys have made headlines for a generous exchange of gifts. “Any of you know that really actually gamble, the odds of winning half a million dollars off of $10,000 has got to be a f******* 1,000,000-to-1. They started with $10,000 and went on a mission to win me a half a million dollars and they did it. “These are $25,000 chips, half a million dollars, and gave it to me. “These two just won a half a million dollars,” White said. The two allegedly worked their way up from $10,000 in chips to the six-figure number before meeting with White at Red Rock Casino in Las Vegas.
