A couple of years ago, UFC President Dana White got into a bit of trouble for allegedly gifting the Nelk Boys the UFC-branded brass knuckles in Nevada. This turned out to be a problem because metal knuckles are completely banned in the state, and the bearer of this object can be fined and even get imprisoned for 364 days too. But it was never officially whether they were ‘brass knuckles’ or not. But this time, White didn’t hold back from flaunting the gift he gave to Mike Tyson. Recently, he appeared on Tyson’s podcast Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson.
Post the episode, White gifted ‘Kid Dynamite’ the Power Slap, his other company, branded ‘brass knuckles’. He opened the box and showed it freely to the camera. Tyson grabbed the object and wore it on his fingers instantly, as he said, “My wife is gonna be so mad.”
