UFC President Dana White shared video of an attempted break-in at his Maine vacation home before revealing that police had apprehended the suspect with the help of the MMA promoter’s Instagram followers.
“This son of a bitch just tried to kick in my front door in Levant, Maine,” White wrote on Instagram alongside a grab from the unknown suspect. “I will[give]$2,500 to the first person to let the police know who he is.”
The man was caught on a doorbell camera, which showed him repeatedly kicking White’s front door before staggering backwards off the porch. The bearded man, who appeared to be in his 20s, is seen reaching for the camera lens before retreating from the premises.
The good news for White is that a suspect is now in custody, the Penobscot Sheriff’s Office told TMZ, adding that “everyone is safe.” It is not clear if anyone was home at the time of the break-in.
“Appreciate you guys,” White wrote on Instagram. “Thanks to everyone who called and helped.”

The incident came at a busy time for White, who is currently arranging the UFC legend’s return to the ring against Michael Chandler.
Conor McGregor appeared to confirm his return to the UFC via a post on Twitter
The former two-weight world champion has been out for more than two years after suffering a broken leg during his last fight against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264.
However, on Sunday, he shared an unverified leak from streaming service UFC Fight Pass that indicates he will face Chandler on December 16.
The countdown clock on the Fight Pass website has since been removed due to doubts that McGregor will be able to fight before the end of the year.
More than 1.1 million people viewed McGregor’s post in the first hour after he posted it.
