UFC president Dana White is trending on social media after reacting to a custom-made 'UFC White House belt' for the first time. The viral clip shows White admiring the championship-style belt, calling it 'freaking badass.'
However, fans and users began focusing on the background of the video, where a controversial artwork was displayed. The artwork is an erotic image of a man with numerous tattoos on his back and a girl lying in front of him in a sexually suggestive pose.
White explained the details of the artwork, stating that it's a sensual painting of a Yakuza member and his girlfriend in a private setting. He revealed that the photo is worth $1.2 million and that he acquired it for $200,000 as a gift from his close friend Richie Sacks.
The original clip shows White examining the custom belt, inspired by both UFC championship belts and White House aesthetics. The belt features gold inscribed 'UFC' on top of the American Flag, with surrounding gold detailing, suggesting White's long-standing friendship with US President Donald Trump.
