Dana White Pays For Child's Liver Transplant


MMA fan Ben Pittsley from Fall River, MA called out to UFC President Dana White to help pay for the surgery of the daughter of Kru Nai of Tiger Muay Thai, who was diagnosed as needing a liver transplant, without which she was given 4 weeks to live.

Ben Pittsley posted this on the UG. "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!!!

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.

Saucylv33 replied on the UG that "Dana will pay for the remaining funds needed for the surgery." Saucylv33 is a UFC employee that is allowed to post and monitor on the UG. This story was again later confirmed by Ray Elbe, whom is the main MMA trainer at Tiger Muay Thai, the facility where Kru Nai is employed.

Ray Elbe's post. "Everybody Dies, but not everyone lives" "Just received confirmation that Dana White is the reason for the season. Monday morning he will be having his assistant contact Grainne Farrell of Lotus Medical to make arrangements for the payment of the Liver transplant operation."

"Amazing. DFW you have no idea how many people's prayers you answered with this random act of generosity....Dana...you have a vacation home available anytime your in Phuket. I'll even make sure Rattanachai teaches you a few Muay Thai privates ;)"

For all the heat and hell we may give Dana White, this is pretty impressive sir. Well done.
