White hugged the YouTuber, and said: "You are welcome."
The video quickly became viral and attracted many reactions from fans and fighters.
Aljamain Sterling, UFC men's bantamweight champion, tweeted the video: "Dope!
"My birthday is July 31st!" I can't wait for Dana to get me something!
Dan Hardy, former UFC welterweight champion, tweeted: "Retweet your opinion if Uncle Dana should gift all 15 top-ranked UFC fighters $250,000 for the next birthday."
Louis Smolka, a newly-released author, said: "When did we start the union bois?"
Jon Fitch, a former UFC 170lb champion, was furious at what he saw. He also took it one step further by criticizing the veteran promoter.
He stated, "He's giving up the money he stole fighters' money."
White has been the subject of much criticism about fighter pay in UFC over the years, but insists that the promotion's compensation structure is fair.
He told The Pivot Podcast that there will always be headbutting.
"Do you have enough money?" Do you? I would love to meet the guy who says, "Oh, I'm great!" I have a lot of money. I don't have any more money.
"You will never meet this guy. It is unlikely that it will happen. Everyone wants more money.
He said, "We created a business model in which, if champion, you get a share of the pay-per view revenue.
"If you are the headlining guy on the card or have been to special occasions, we know that you're making a lot of money. You're a big draw, so you can also get a share in the pay per view revenue. You can eat what you kill.
"The truth is that you can get some of these guys and walk in and say, "I want $30,000,000 dollars." Based on what? I do too.
"Give me $30 Million. But what is the basis of $30 million? You can't expect the guys on either side to worry about the sport's business.
