"I have so much respect for, not just you, but for everybody who is part of the first responders and the medical staff that are taking care of everybody and putting yourself in harm's way to help others," White said to TMZ Sports. "You were a stud on [The Ultimate Fighter] and apparently you're still kicking ass, my friend. Congratulations! Thank you so much for all you're doing for everybody.
