UFC president Dana White agreed to hire a fan if he lost an incredible amount of weight.
White is no stranger to giving opportunities to fighters and during a press conference for UFC 308 in October, an undefeated brawler from Tajikstan asked him to let him fight for UFC.
After a conversation, Nabotov Dorobshokh, who claimed to be unbeaten, was brought up on the stage and proceeded to fight for South Korean promotion ZFN banner for the ‘Dana White: Lookin’ for a Fight' series but lost a December bout against Brazilian Matheus Camilo.
But White also made an agreement with another member of the public, who has since released a TikTok disclosing their wager.

NasharMMA, who has 52,000 followers and 9.4 million likes, was unhappy with his physical condition and sought about changing his lifestyle for the better.
But he enlisted the help of UFC boss White, who has got himself in incredible shape in recent years.
As disclosed in his viral video, Nashar stepped on the scales in the presence of White and found that he weighed 321lbs six months ago.
He told White that if he lost whatever weight the 55-year-old set before December 31, he would get a job in UFC's social media and marketing team.
The deal was sealed with a fist bump, with White telling the content creator, "You got a deal".
Nashar then went away and put the work in over a six-month period, posting videos of him partaking in regular exercise and eating healthier meals.
Between July and December, he lost just over 100lbs to get down to 220lbs and proudly showed off his outstanding weight loss.
White remained in contact with Nashar during his almighty training camp and even sent him a message encouraging him to "keep grinding".
However, it is unclear whether White has held up his end of the bargain just yet as Nashar finished the video by asking his viewers to "Tag Dana".
The video was captioned, "I've watched 6 months to post this TikTok don't let this flop", and racked up over 360,000 views and 27,000 likes, as well as many positive comments hailing Nashar for his achievement.
