Yesterday we reported on Matt Mitrione enlisting the help of the UG to make a prank callers life a living hell. Now Ben Pittsley, a 1-0 fighter from Massachusetts, has recruited the UG and subsequently Dana White to help pay for the kidney transplant of Tiger Muai Thai aficionado Kuru Nai's ailing daughter. Incredible stuff, check out the thread below.

I recently visitied Tiger Muay Thai and had the experience of a lifetime, But this is not about me, this is about SAVING THE LIFE OF A 4yr OLD GIRL!!!!

I had the pleasure of training with Kru Nai and meeting his family....When I returned home I learned that his daughter needs a LIVER TRANSPLANT or will die....the doctors gave 4 weeks to live.....

Please donate and help save a life

Mr. DANA WHITE,
If you are a true ambassador for the sport.....PAY FOR THIS SURGERY!!!

Please help, no donation to small........the clock is ticking http://savetuptim.yolasite.com/ or contact TIGER MUAY THAI for details

Nai is the trainer in Roger Huerta's HL Video.....

STEP UP Mr. WHITE.....please save a life

Three hours after the original thread was posted, a representative from the UFC, who commonly posts on the forum, stated that Dana would indeed pay the remaining funds needed for the surgery.

Dana will pay for the remaining funds needed for the surgery.

Looks like Dana White is entirely deserving of our number two spot on our list of The Top Ten Most Altruistic Individuals. Next up, get Fedor in the UFC.

Okay, as humanitarian as this gesture is, by all means name ONE OTHER INSTANCE of Dana White paying for some desperately needy child's life-saving surgery?

"Shit like this"? Like what?

Oooh right, I forget about Dana White's Xtreme Couture Orphanage.

This is the kind of man that stops fighters receiving sponsorship from certain brands because they're used by a rival promotion, even though he has no legal jurisdiction to do so, hence screwing them out of the largest slice of their income: sponsorships.

The kinda guy who holds grudges against fighters because they dare to say someone outside of the UFC is actually more talented than someone inside of it.

For god's sake, put down the fucking kool aid.

Dana is still a greedy cocksucker that holds the sport of MMA back in the Dark Ages, and when he's not kissing babies you can be sure he's stealing their lollipops.

Oh cool the asshole brigade is here!

If you can't differentiate between Dana the businessman and Dana the man then you're an idiot.

This is a great story about Dana putting his UFC role aside to do a great thing for a girl who would most likely die.

But yeah, let's talk about fighters right now.

He also throws money at maimed and burned beyond recognition troops coming back home that have to hang out at walter reed. He also makes fighters go hang out there too.

I highly doubt this is PR thing. Barely anyone knows the non-UFC things he's done. Heck ost people wouldn't even know about all the charitable things he's done unless they took a gander at the
"middleeasy top 10 altruistic" list. I reckon he's fine that people only associate him with the UFC.

But regardless of PR or not, it doesn't matter - it's all about the little girl's life and the fact that he was involved in saving it. I don't think anyone has the right to downplay anyone who saved a life.

Why don't you guys do a little more homework before posting shit that isn't true. This is from the site that's linked in the first forum post that you link to on this story.

"Although the rumours of Dana White covering TupTims medical costs are amazing, we have not yet heard from Dana White or his team, therefore cannot confirm the story. We need to keep working towards Saving TupTims life...3 weeks left"

Even if this is only done for PR reasons (I'm not saying it is, but it could be) it's still baller. He didn't have to do this.

That's why I love the vlogs. I love seeing him hand out tickets and taking time with fans.

"Altruism" is easy when you are loaded. Sure, it is a nice thing of him to do, but proportionally, he ain't doing much.

Dude, dont be a dick, Im probably one of the biggest Dana haters on this site, and you have togive him props. Its what, the 2nd timenow, in what, 3/4 months he's helped out save a childs life. No doubt he's gonna do some dumb shit down the road tomake us forget about these things but still..aint doin much, isnt Dana...

Did you donate anything? Or would you have?

Even if its not that much compared to what he makes, its still something that he doesn't have to give.

And Just because he has money, that doesn't mean that he has to give anything. thousands upon thousands of dollars is the same amout for you, me, and dana.

Well done to Dana on this one, ive trained with Nai and hes so quiet and humble dispite what hes achieved. So glad this has happened so early in the appeal (about a week!?), a testament to his reputation and respect. His sick daughter is actually 7 months, his other daughter is 4.

no doubt he did an amazing thing, but when you're a multi-millionai re and you donate an amount thats not even going to phase you, it takes away from the grandiosity of the whole thing. now if he had donated his own bone marrow or kidney lets say, to a total stranger, now that is the stuff you stand in awe of

They just use dana's name because he is the face of the organization, the fertitta bros are the source of all the money, for dana and the ufc

That's why I get so pissed off when people bad mouth Dana.

This motherfucker is the REAL DEAL. He loves MMA just like all of us, doesn't take any shit from anyone, and shows his true character whenever presented the opportunity.

I'm not a nut-hugger, I'm straight as fuck, and I'm telling you that this is the best sport in the world, led by a real, no politics, motherfucker.

I'd quit my great money sales job to work for the UFC in a heartbeat. Just had to give my two cents.

A blonde goes into work http://www.buyuggfootwear.com/ one morning crying her eyes out. Her boss concerned about

all his employees well being asked sympathetically , "What's the matter?" To which the blonde replies... "Early

this morning I got a phone call saying that my mother had passed away."

The boss feeling http://www.buyuggfootwear.com/ very sorry at this point explains to the young girl. "Why don't you go home for

the day... we aren't terribly busy. Just take the day off to relax and rest." The blonde very calmly

states..."No.. I'd be better off here. I need to keep my mind off it and I have the best chance of doing that

here." The boss agrees and allows the blond to work as usual... " If you need anything just let me know."

okay??"
