The country of Australia has been battling wildfires that have reportedly burned approximately 18 million acres, killed nearly 30 people and have also killed billions of animals and destroyed a large portion of their habitats.
Both the UFC and Endeavor, which is the parent company of the UFC, has pledged $250,000 towards the relief efforts to help Australia through this crisis.
UFC President Dana White released the following video about the pledge through Twitter:
The UFC family sends its love and support to all those affected by the devastating bushfire crisis in Australia.

“To support recovery efforts, UFC is joining Endeavor and its partner companies in making a $250,000 donation to the Australian Red Cross Diaster Relief and Recovery Fund. The people of Australia are facing a long battle to overcome these fires and rebuild their lives, and they need our help.”
