UFC President Dana White recently received a spectacular gift that he won’t forget anytime soon. The long-time UFC boss was given a customized Maybach van with Howler Head decals all over the outer body of the vehicle.
White was visibly taken aback by the gift that was given to him by Stephen Deleonardis of the Nelk Boys, popularly known as SteveWillDoIt. Chiefly, the social media star initially acted like the van was his and then revealed to Dana White that he would be receiving it as a $300,000 gift. According to Deleonardis, the van was ‘Presidential’ and was thus perfect for someone like Dana White.
