Dana White has been on a roll of good deeds lately.

After donating money to a fast food worker, it’s been revealed that White has donated $50,000 to a girl in Thailand – who needed a lifesaving injury.

He explained what happened during a recent interview:

There was this guy that had posted something, that he had just come back from Thailand.
He was training Muay Thai over there with this legendary coach, and his daughter was dying because she needed some type of heart surgery.

She was going to die in the next several days if she didn’t get the money.
It was gonna be $50,000.

The guy was, like: “Dana White, you need to put this f*cking money up right now and donate it to her, you f*cking bet this much playing blackjack.”

White agreed with the sentiment:

I was like, no this dude is f*cking absolutely right.
He’s not wrong, he’s absolutely f*cking right. I’m supposed to do this.

So, I end up reaching out, we find out if it’s real, [and] it’s real, and I send the $50,000 over.

And how did the UFC CEO feel afterwards?

When you go into their gym there’s this massive picture of me in there.
Then there’s a big picture of me over her bed, like I’m her guardian angel…

I pay for her schooling and all of her medical stuff, I don’t like talking about a lot of this stuff, but I’m in a position where I’m very lucky I can help other people.

I do stuff because I should do it, and I do stuff because I wanna do it, I don’t do it because I want to be recognized doing it.

But I don’t like talking about it.
