“Ariel Helvani” has claimed yet another victim. This time, it is British mixed martial artist Darren Till. The UFC Welterweight fighter posted an image of a cup, wishing followers a good morning. Well everyone, “except that b**** Carole Baskin.” His post prompted replied from both “Dana White” and “Helvani.” DARREN TILL RESPONDS TO FAKE DANA WHITE The post is a shot at Baskin, an animal rights activist. She is prominently positioned as an “evil” person in the recent Tiger King series on Netflix. Till certainly believes it to be true. The fun began when Till assumed Dana White replied to his tweet. “White” said he hoped the coffee would get Till ready for his next fight. The Twitterati were quick to notice the fake account, as there was a noticeable lack of a blue tick next to the name. Also, the ‘v’ after the name indicates that it is a play on the fake “Ariel Helvani” account. Users were quick to jump in with their two cents. Many pointed out the grammar error in the tweet. Darren Till responded to the fake Dana White saying he’s ready. Till is due for a return to the Octagon. The Middleweight’s last fight was a split decision win over Kelvin Gastelum in November. This prompted “Ariel Helvani” to join in and praise Till. Does Darren Till know that it is a fake account? If yes, he is certainly providing fans with an abundance of entertainment. If not, he needs to get up to speed as the Ariel Helwani parody account has caused problems all weekend, most notably with Daniel Cormier. The former heavyweight champion believed a tweet by the fake Dana White, claiming him and Russian leader Vladimir Putin reached an agreement permitting ‘The Eagle’ Khabib Nurmagomedov to fly to the USA for UFC 249. UFC [https://www.ufc.com/] 249 has been confirmed [http://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-249-fight-card-official-impressive-list-of-fighters-announced-ufc-news/] with Tony Ferguson fighting Justin Gaethje for the Interim Lightweight Championship at an undisclosed location. 

Darren Till is the latest victim of the fake account going by the name 'Ariel
Helvani.' The British middleweight figher replied to his tweet earlier today.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Dana White: Net Worth 2024, Salary, Wife, and More</b></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Who is Dana White? </strong></h2>
Dana Frederick White Jr. is a name that every MMA fanatic knows. From running away from mobsters to running the biggest MMA promotion in the world, White has come a long way. An organization he and his friend Lorenzo Fertitta bought for $2 million, now stands at nearly $7-8 million.

He played an instrumental role in making the UFC the household brand it is today. He started his career as a bouncer and climbed the ladder to become one of the most successful businesspeople worldwide. His business acumen, shrewd tactics, and eye for opportunities eased UFC's path to establish itself as the biggest MMA promotion.

As of 2024, he works as the President of UFC, a position he has held since 2001.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Dana White's early lifeÂ </b></h2>
Born on July 28, 1969, White spent his early childhood in Ware, Massachusetts. The 53-year-old spent his youth switching bases between Las Vegas and Maine. White initially attended Bishop Gorman High School, where he first encountered Lorenzo Fertitta. However, he got kicked out twice and finally graduated from Hermon High School in Maine in 1987.

</figcaption></figure>
White dropped out of college twice and juggled various jobs, including laying asphalt, a bouncer at an Irish bar, and as a bellhop at the Boston Harbor Hotel.

Ever interested in combat sports, White picked up a pair of boxing gloves at 17 and initially dreamt of pursuing a professional career. However, he soon dropped the idea after witnessing a punch drunk boxer (someone suffering from Chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a disease linked to head trauma injury)Â and feared the same outcome for himself.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Dana White's parents</b></h2>
Dana White was born to June and Dana White Sr. and traces his roots as an Irish American. While much is not known about his father, he and his sister Kelly mostly grew up under the care of his mother and grandparents. His mother was a nurse by profession and their move to Vegas was in pursuit of a better livelihood.

In 2011, June released the unauthorized autobiography of the UFC lynchpin- 'Dana White, King of MMA'. She shockingly revealed that her sonÂ <em>"had turned his back on his family and friends who were there for home when he needed help and support".</em>

Similarly,Â <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46eMp_rWgjc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in a 2011 interview,</a>Â she said,Â <em>"He's not a good person. He seems to have lost his character somewhere along the way. He mistreats people."</em>
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Dana White's wife and children</b></h2>
UFC President is married to Anne, whom he met in eighth grade, and the duo tied the knot in 1996. The couple is blessed with three children, two sons- Dana III, Aidan, and one daughter Savannah.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>What is Dana White's net worth in 2024?</b></h2>
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Dana White has a net worth of $500 million. Further, he collects an estimated $20 million salary annually.

Apart from this, he also owns "Power Slap," alongside ventures inside the UFC like "Dana White's Contender Series." This surely helps him bank quite a sum, alongside his occasional big wins in gambling. For instance, he once won nearly $7 million in a single night at a Las Vegas Casino.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Is Dana White the owner of UFC?</strong></h2>
While running boxercise gyms, he met MMA fighters, Tito Ortiz and Chuck Liddell, and eventually took over as their manager. Moreover, he met Bob Meyrowitz and pounced on the opportunity when he learned Meyrowitz wanted to sell UFC. He sought the aid of Lorenzo Fertitta and ultimately he and his older brother Frank bought the UFC for $2 million. And the pair appointed White as the President.

<p id="node---34197-figcap">via Getty</p>

</figcaption></figure>
In 2019, White penned a lucrative 7-year contract with the promotion, elongating his stronghold. Markedly, in April 2023, Endeavor, the parent company of UFC,Â <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-unbelievable-wwes-high-profile-sale-to-ufcs-parent-company-made-jim-ross-scared-because-of-one-particular-reason/" target="_self" rel="noopener">announced a merger with WWE</a> to form a new $24 billion company. Additionally, White retained his position as the president of the UFC brand. White previously owned 9% of the UFC before he sold his stake to Endeavor for $340 million.

In addition, White also worked as a co-promoter of theÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/conor-mcgregor/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Conor McGregor</a>-Floyd Mayweather fight, thus making his debut in boxing scenes. However, soon he lost interest as he labeled boxing promotion as a "<em>broken business</em>" in 2022.

Another brainchild of White, The Power Slap, debuted in January 2023, on which White worked as a producer.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Dana Whiteâ€™s health: Weight loss, fasting &amp; transformation</strong></h2>
Over the last few years, Dana White's health has undergone a massive transformation, and now he is seemingly in his best health. His life coach and founder of 10X Health System, Garry Brecka had even predicted that at the rate White was indulging in bad habits and ignoring his health, he might only have a decade left.

He had previously been wrongly diagnosed with idiopathic depression, and the medications took a toll on him. Later, the mogul also suffered from dangerously high blood pressure, was overweight, and had a high triglyceride count, which allowed Brecka to reach his conclusion. And according to him, marking the life expectancy only validated the urgency for White.

He would soon make <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-why-did-dana-white-lose-so-much-weight-real-reason-behind-86-hour-water-fast-carried-out-by-the-ufc-ceo/">massive strides in his lifestyle and share with the world his secrets</a>. He followed a holistic plan with the help of Brecka that included the right diet, supplements, and exercise. His diet included high fat but low carbs, to induce ketosis, a method by which fat is broken down into ketones. It also included an 86-hour water-fast regimen that was so transformative that White couldn't help but share it with the world.

<img class="size-medium wp-image-1914362 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/NINTCHDBPICT000765320323-380x315.jpg" alt="" width="380" height="315" />

Now White continues to be healthier than ever and includes other innovative techniques such as ice baths to up his health game. After all, to be the president of the world's biggest MMA promotion is no joke and only a healthy man can play the long haul.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Dana Whiteâ€™s other businesses and endorsements</strong></h2>
A man of many talents, the man who made UFC the biggest MMA promotion in the world has numerous other ventures under his sleeve. Here are some enlisted-
<ul>
 	<li>
<h3>Power Slap</h3>
</li>
</ul>
White is the founder and promoter of Power Slap, an unconventional fighting organization that was launched in 2022. Since then, it has come under much controversy, with many deeming it a barbaric and exploitative sport. Nonetheless, White has stood stern on his belief that it has the potential to become a major combat sport and open new avenues for numerous fighters.
<ul>
 	<li>
<h3><strong>Throw One</strong></h3>
</li>
</ul>
It is a media company that was founded by the two original pillars of the UFC banner, Dana White and Lorenzo Fertitta. This venture operates as the parent company for numerous ventures, such as,-
<ul style="list-style-type: circle">
 	<li data-sourcepos="6:5-6:88"><strong>Power Slap:</strong> The controversial slap-fighting organization.</li>
 	<li data-sourcepos="7:5-7:53"><strong>Ridiculousness:</strong>Â A popular comedy clip show.</li>
 	<li data-sourcepos="8:5-8:75"><strong>Street League Skateboarding:</strong>Â A professional skateboarding league.</li>
 	<li data-sourcepos="9:5-9:62"><strong>Nitro Circus:</strong> A live-action stunt performance group.</li>
 	<li data-sourcepos="10:5-10:64"><strong>Travis Pastrana's NRX Rallycar:</strong>Â A rally racing series.</li>
</ul>
White's involvement currently stands as the co-founder and co-owner of the above. Further, the UFC head honcho is committed to UFC and restricts himself from promoting anything apart from the UFC.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Dana White's awards and accomplishments</strong></h2>
<ul>
 	<li><span style="font-weight: 400">Armed Forces Foundation - Patriot Award (2009)</span></li>
 	<li><span style="font-weight: 400">World MMA Awards - Leading Man of the Year (2008â€“23)</span></li>
 	<li><span style="font-weight: 400">Wrestling Observer Newsletter - Promoter of the Year (2005â€“13; 2015â€“16)</span></li>
 	<li><span style="font-weight: 400">Other accomplishments - Nevada Sportsman of the Year (2009)</span></li>
</ul>
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Dana White's foundation and charity</b></h2>
The UFC president also liberally utilizes his money for good causes. HeÂ has donated $100,000 toÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dustin-poirier/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Dustin Poirier</a>'s charity. In addition, he once gave $50,000 for a liver transplant to the daughter of one of the instructors at Tiger Muay Thai.

Also, he gave $100,000 to his former high school, and $1 million to the Las Vegas shooting victims.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Dana Whiteâ€™s house</strong></h2>
The UFC head's first notable house purchase was reported in 2006 when he bought a mansion in Pine Island Court, Las Vegas, from the American business mogul <b>Frank Fertitta </b>for $1.95 million. Thereafter he bought 3 more mansions in the same area from 2016 to 2017, which were later demolished, presumably to build his current mega mansion.

The current mansion boasts nine bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, a gym, a massage room, a basketball court, an arcade, a bar, and a kitchen, all worthy of a king.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Dana Whiteâ€™s car collection</strong></h2>
Complimenting his massive crib, and the luxurious office is his collection of vehicles that he has amassed over the years. But despite that, his first car was a 'rusted out Datsun B210.' Here are some of his prized possessions-
<ul>
 	<li>A Harley Davidson featuring the UFC logo, that was gifted by the company</li>
 	<li>Ducati and a MV Agusta F4</li>
 	<li>A classic red Ferrari Testarossa</li>
 	<li>A black Ferrari Spider F430</li>
 	<li>1971 Plymouth Barracuda</li>
 	<li>BMW M6 Gran Coupe</li>
</ul>
Apart from this, he has also gifted his beloved sons the gift of speed as their sweet sixteen gifts. His eldest son Aidan was bestowed with a customized Defender Works V8 70th Anniversary Edition, while Dana Jr. kept a BMW M6.

Keeping up with his busy schedule, it is not surprising that he owns a private jet, an indulgent Bombardier jet to be precise.

Later, the mogul also suffered from dangerously high blood pressure, was overweight, and had a high triglyceride count, which allowed Brecka to reach his conclusion. And according to him, marking the life expectancy only validated the urgency for White. He would soon make massive strides in his lifestyle and share with the world his secrets. He followed a holistic plan with the help of Brecka that included the right diet, supplements, and exercise. His diet included high fat but low carbs, to induce ketosis, a method by which fat is broken down into ketones. It also included an 86-hour water-fast regimen that was so transformative that White couldn&#8217;t help but share it with the world. Now White continues to be healthier than ever and includes other innovative techniques such as ice baths to up his health game. After all, to be the president of the world&#8217;s biggest MMA promotion is no joke and only a healthy man can play the long haul. Dana Whiteâ€™s other businesses and endorsements A man of many talents, the man who made UFC the biggest MMA promotion in the world has numerous other ventures under his sleeve. Here are some enlisted-  Power Slap  White is the founder and promoter of Power Slap, an unconventional fighting organization that was launched in 2022. Since then, it has come under much controversy, with many deeming it a barbaric and exploitative sport. Nonetheless, White has stood stern on his belief that it has the potential to become a major combat sport and open new avenues for numerous fighters.  Throw One  It is a media company that was founded by the two original pillars of the UFC banner, Dana White and Lorenzo Fertitta. This venture operates as the parent company for numerous ventures, such as,- Power Slap: The controversial slap-fighting organization. Ridiculousness:Â A popular comedy clip show. Street League Skateboarding:Â A professional skateboarding league. Nitro Circus: A live-action stunt performance group. Travis Pastrana&#8217;s NRX Rallycar:Â A rally racing series. White&#8217;s involvement currently stands as the co-founder and co-owner of the above. Further, the UFC head honcho is committed to UFC and restricts himself from promoting anything apart from the UFC. Dana White&#8217;s awards and accomplishments Armed Forces Foundation &#8211; Patriot Award (2009) World MMA Awards &#8211; Leading Man of the Year (2008â€“23) Wrestling Observer Newsletter &#8211; Promoter of the Year (2005â€“13; 2015â€“16) Other accomplishments &#8211; Nevada Sportsman of the Year (2009) Dana White&#8217;s foundation and charity The UFC president also liberally utilizes his money for good causes. HeÂ has donated $100,000 toÂ Dustin Poirier&#8216;s charity. In addition, he once gave $50,000 for a liver transplant to the daughter of one of the instructors at Tiger Muay Thai. Also, he gave $100,000 to his former high school, and $1 million to the Las Vegas shooting victims. Dana Whiteâ€™s house The UFC head&#8217;s first notable house purchase was reported in 2006 when he bought a mansion in Pine Island Court, Las Vegas, from the American business mogul Frank Fertitta for $1.95 million. Thereafter he bought 3 more mansions in the same area from 2016 to 2017, which were later demolished, presumably to build his current mega mansion. The current mansion boasts nine bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, a gym, a massage room, a basketball court, an arcade, a bar, and a kitchen, all worthy of a king. Dana Whiteâ€™s car collection Complimenting his massive crib, and the luxurious office is his collection of vehicles that he has amassed over the years. But despite that, his first car was a &#8216;rusted out Datsun B210.&#8217; Here are some of his prized possessions- A Harley Davidson featuring the UFC logo, that was gifted by the company Ducati and a MV Agusta F4 A classic red Ferrari Testarossa A black Ferrari Spider F430 1971 Plymouth Barracuda BMW M6 Gran Coupe Apart from this, he has also gifted his beloved sons the gift of speed as their sweet sixteen gifts. His eldest son Aidan was bestowed with a customized Defender Works V8 70th Anniversary Edition, while Dana Jr. kept a BMW M6. Keeping up with his busy schedule, it is not surprising that he owns a private jet, an indulgent Bombardier jet to be precise. How to contact Dana White?

<h2 style="text-align: center">Darren Till 2021: Record, Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</h2>
Darren Till is perhaps one of the most entertaining fighters in the UFC. Not only does the Scouser put up exciting matchups, but he also has an appealing personality outside the cage. Fans know Till for being raw and funny on social media. As of August 2021, he sits at #7 in the UFC middleweight <a class="jsx-2733623271" href="https://www.ufc.com/rankings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rankings</a>.

[caption id="attachment_437214" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-437214 size-full" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-841932556.jpg" alt="Darren Till" width="1920" height="1280" /> ROTTERDAM, NETHERLANDS - SEPTEMBER 02: Darren Till of England celebrates victory against Bojan Velickovic of Serbia after their Welterweight bout during the UFC Fight Night at Ahoy on September 2, 2017 in Rotterdam, Netherlands. (Photo by Dean Mouhtaropoulos/Getty Images)[/caption]

Till started as a Muay Thai fighter and later transitioned to Mixed Martial Arts. Born in Liverpool, Till began training in Muay at the early age of 12. Three years later, he turned pro.

Till then found himself in a life-threatening altercation at a party. The Liverpudlian was <a href="https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2017/09/darren-till-guarantees-win-im-going-to-build-my-name-off-donald-cerrone" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">stabbed</a> in the back twice. This moment changed his life forever.



He traveled to <a href="https://www.fightersonlymag.com/interviews/darren-till-liverpool-brazil-back/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Brazil</a> to stay out of trouble and by the time he was seventeen, Till began his MMA training. After finding success in his amateur MMA career, he turned pro and racked up eight wins in 2013 alone.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Darren Till: UFC Career</h2>
In 2015, Darren Till received a call from the UFC and entered the company with a perfect 12-0 record. He won his first match against Wendell de Oliveira via a brutal TKO win in the second round. His next fight ended in a draw.

Till amassed a record of 17-0 before challenging the former welterweight champion, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/tyron-woodley/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Tyron Woodley</a>. Unfortunately for Till, he got knocked down by a huge right hand from Woodley and then got submitted via D'arce choke.

It was his first MMA defeat. He then fought Jorge Masvidal before moving to middleweight to fight <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kelvin-gastelum/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kelvin Gastelum</a>. His last fight was against <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/robert-whittaker/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Robert Whittaker</a> in 2020, where he suffered a unanimous decision loss.



Now, he will step inside the octagon against the #5 ranked middleweight contender, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/derek-brunson/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Derek Brunson</a>, on September 4, 2021.

'The Gorilla' who walks out to Sweet Caroline, has put together a 6-3-1 UFC <a href="http://ufcstats.com/fighter-details/9ce6d5a03af801b7" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">record.</a>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Darren Till: Fighting Style</h2>
Till, one of the best elite strikers in the UFC, has claimed 10/18 wins by T/KO. Moreover, he has a great takedown defense (82%) to keep the fight standing.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Darren Till: Controversies</h2>
Following his defeat to Woodley, Till challenged <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jorge-masvidal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Jorge Masvidal</a> in his hometown of London, England. Sadly, Masvidal humiliated Till by knocking him out cold in the second round. What followed was probably the darkest phase of Darren Till's life. The Brit allegedly <a href="https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2019/04/darren-till-arrested-allegedly-stealing-cab-trashing-hotel-canary-islands-ufc-crime-report/amp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">vandalized</a> a hotel room and stole a taxi on the Canary Islands.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Darren Till: Achievements</h2>
Till holds a stellar record of <a href="https://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Darren-Till-73436" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">18-3-1,0NC</a> in his MMA career. He has won two Fight of the Night bonuses with Nicolas Dalby and Jorge Masvidal. Besides that, he won a Performance of the Night Bonus for his fight against <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/video-throwback-darren-till-knocks-out-donald-cerrone-in-the-first-round-ufc/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Donald Cerrone</a>.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Darren Till: Net Worth and Salary 2021</h2>
Till has earned around $913,000 in the UFC so far, according to <a href="https://thesportsdaily.com/2020/07/26/darren-till-career-earnings-fox11/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Sports Daily</a>.

Darren Till

Darren Till 2021: Record, Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements Darren Till is perhaps one of the most entertaining fighters in the UFC. Not only does the Scouser put up exciting matchups, but he also has an appealing personality outside the cage. Fans know Till for being raw and funny on social media. As of August 2021, he sits at #7 in the UFC middleweight rankings. ROTTERDAM, NETHERLANDS &#8211; SEPTEMBER 02: Darren Till of England celebrates victory against Bojan Velickovic of Serbia after their Welterweight bout during the UFC Fight Night at Ahoy on September 2, 2017 in Rotterdam, Netherlands. (Photo by Dean Mouhtaropoulos/Getty Images) Till started as a Muay Thai fighter and later transitioned to Mixed Martial Arts. Born in Liverpool, Till began training in Muay at the early age of 12. Three years later, he turned pro. Till then found himself in a life-threatening altercation at a party. The Liverpudlian was stabbed in the back twice. This moment changed his life forever. He traveled to Brazil to stay out of trouble and by the time he was seventeen, Till began his MMA training. After finding success in his amateur MMA career, he turned pro and racked up eight wins in 2013 alone. Darren Till: UFC Career In 2015, Darren Till received a call from the UFC and entered the company with a perfect 12-0 record. He won his first match against Wendell de Oliveira via a brutal TKO win in the second round. His next fight ended in a draw. Till amassed a record of 17-0 before challenging the former welterweight champion, Tyron Woodley. Unfortunately for Till, he got knocked down by a huge right hand from Woodley and then got submitted via D&#8217;arce choke. It was his first MMA defeat. He then fought Jorge Masvidal before moving to middleweight to fight Kelvin Gastelum. His last fight was against Robert Whittaker in 2020, where he suffered a unanimous decision loss. Now, he will step inside the octagon against the #5 ranked middleweight contender, Derek Brunson, on September 4, 2021. &#8216;The Gorilla&#8217; who walks out to Sweet Caroline, has put together a 6-3-1 UFC record. Read More: Darren Till Says Underestimating Masvidal is the Biggest Mistake of His Life Darren Till: Fighting Style Till, one of the best elite strikers in the UFC, has claimed 10/18 wins by T/KO. Moreover, he has a great takedown defense (82%) to keep the fight standing. Darren Till: Controversies Following his defeat to Woodley, Till challenged Jorge Masvidal in his hometown of London, England. Sadly, Masvidal humiliated Till by knocking him out cold in the second round. What followed was probably the darkest phase of Darren Till&#8217;s life. The Brit allegedly vandalized a hotel room and stole a taxi on the Canary Islands. Darren Till: Achievements Till holds a stellar record of 18-3-1,0NC in his MMA career. He has won two Fight of the Night bonuses with Nicolas Dalby and Jorge Masvidal. Besides that, he won a Performance of the Night Bonus for his fight against Donald Cerrone. In 2017, Pundit Arena named Till the Breakthrough Fighter of the Year. Read More: Darren Till’s Memorable Visit To Liverpool Darren Till: Net Worth and Salary 2021 Till has earned around $913,000 in the UFC so far, according to The Sports Daily. However, this does not include undisclosed bonuses or other sources of income. His middleweight debut against Kelvin Gastelum helped him to bank his biggest paycheck yet. &#8220;The Gorilla&#8221; earned $245,000 from that fight at UFC 244.

Sadly, Abdulmanap passed away in 2020 after complications from COVID-19, leaving a legacy that will continue to inspire generations of fighters to come.

Khabib Nurmagomedov and his wife Patimat Nurmagomedov tied the knot in June 2013. Not much information is available on his wife as she does not have any social media presence, and Khabib has always maintained privacy regarding his personal life.

The couple has three children. Their firstborn was a daughter named Fatima Nurmagomedov, born on 1 June 2015. Two years later, they welcomed a son named Magomed Nurmagomedov, named after Khabib's great-grandfather, on 30 December 2017. Another son, Husayn Nurmagomedov, was born on 22 December 2019.

Despite Khabib's fame as a professional fighter, his family of five lives a private life away from the public eye. They keep their personal life out of the spotlight and focus on spending time together as a family.

Eventually, he earned a shot at the UFC lightweight title in 2018 against Al Iaquinta. That fight saw Iaquinta stepping up on short notice, leading to Khabib living his dream.

After that, in a highly anticipated showdown with champion<strong>Â Conor McGregor</strong>, Khabib delivered a dominant performance, submitting his opponent in the fourth round to claim the belt.

His house dorns neither fancy interiors nor luxury items. According to some local publications of Dagestan, the house boasts two rooms with ottomans and beds, a pantry, and even what they describe as an old refrigerator.

Khabib Nurmagomedov, however, lives in Nurmagomedov Street. Yes! That right. Nonetheless, it was not named after either his or his father's legacy but his Sambo world champion uncle Nurmagomed Nurmagomedov.
