Dana White gifts UFC champion staggering £652,000 Lamborghini just weeks after Twitter feud over next fight
DANA WHITE has gifted UFC star Aljamain Sterling a stunning £652,000 Lamborghini just weeks after a bitter feud.
The UFC president recently lost Francis Ngannou after a row over pay and then he became embroiled in another argument with his bantamweight champion.
Sterling defended his title with a split decision win over Henry Cejudo at UFC 288 last month.
That led to White announcing afterwards that the champ would face Sean O’Malley next at UFC 292 next, which led to “Funk Master’ suggesting that his body may not have healed in time for that August 19 clash.
But those remarks did not go down well with the top MMA promoter, and he later alluded to the notion that the Jamaican native had initially tried to postpone the fight by stating that the grappler was “one of those guys who can’t get out of his way.”
White said: “If you’re not healthy, don’t take the fight. We’ll have somebody else fight, we’ll do somebody else for the interim title.

“Don’t say you’re going to go out and fight and then start saying stuff like if my body holds up.”
Sterling then hit back at those remarks as he accused White of discrediting him and dragging his name through the mud.
And he stated: “When I say I’m going to show up, I f***ing show up and I fight.”
He later tweeted: “I’m a phone call away boss! Respectfully, you made a fight, the night of the fight, without a single word of it mentioned to me or checking on my injuries.

“I have a personal life outside of fighting. But once again, I’ll show up and p*** in everyone’s Cheerios…again. Cheers.”
However, the pair seem to have patched up their differences after White had a mega green-coloured Lamborghini Huracan sports car delivered to the 33-year-old.
And, according to Sterling, his issues with the UFC boss have now been resolved
During a recent interview with The Schmo, he said: “Dana finally got me that Lambo I’ve been asking for. He’s a man of his word.
“I mean it’s a pretty damn nice car, I’ll tell you that. It’s a very nice car.”
When asked if that means him and White are now best buds, he replied: “I think so. He knows the money fight, he knows the real main event.
“I main evented the last one and he knows who to call when he needs another main event.”
