Dana White was left stunned after receiving an extremely generous gift from podcasters Taylor Lewan and Steve Will Do It.
Like many other celebrities, the UFC CEO was in Las Vegas this weekend to watch Max Verstappen win the latest Formula 1 Grand Prix ahead of Ferrari rival Charles Leclerc and Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez.

Naturally, White, who is a self-confessed degenerate gambler, ended his night in a casino and two of his friends managed to turn $10,000 (£8000) into $500,000 (£400,545).
Instead of keeping the cash for themselves, they gave it to the man who helped make the UFC a mainstream sports promotion and pocketed an estimated $500million (£400m) in the process.
"I’m here at Red Rocks [casino] right now, it’s f***ing 2:30 in the morning or whatever,” White said in a video shared on his Instagram story.
“Formula 1 just ended, I’m here with Taylor Lewan from ‘Bussin with the Boys’ on Barstool and Steve Will Do It from the Nelk Boys.

“These two just won a half a million dollars, these are $25,000 (£20,000) chips.
"Half a million dollars and gave it to me. They are f***ing lunatics.”
“It started with $10,000. These two started with $10,000 and went on a mission to win me a half a million dollars and they did it! It’s f***ing unbelievable.
"Any of you that really actually gamble, the odds of winning half a million dollars off ten thousand dollars? It’s gotta be a million to one. It’s f***ing impossible. Literally impossible. They did it.”

White’s wild story was quickly corroborated by Lewan on social media.
“Just had the most insane gambling experience in my life with Stevewilldoit,” he wrote on X – formerly known as Twitter. “I’m not exaggerating when I say it was a movie.
“It might not ever be done again in the history of time.”
This is not the first time Steve Will Doit – real name Stephen Deleonardis – has impressed White with a shockingly expensive gift.
In December 2021, the social media star surprised his pal with a customised $300,000 (£240,327) Maybach van.
A few months later, White returned the favour – and caused controversy in the process - by gifting Steve’s fellow Nelk Boy Kyle Forgeard $250,000 (£200,272) for his birthday.
The UFC boss will now start thinking about how to repay Lewan and Steve Will Doit for their bizarre cash gift.
