News Dana White threatened to leave the UFC to save Joe Rogan’s job as commentator

[Neck&Neck]

Dana White should run for POTUS

 

[Reach Finesse]

If only Big Bald Goof had the same empathy towards the fighters he's paying chump change to.

He should learn from generous boxing promoters like Arum, Don King, etc...lmao

 

[Thepaintbucket]

Fox sports: can we at least get rid of Goldie?

Dana White: Yeah, sure , no problem!

Dana isn't loyal he is a supreme narcissist.

Joe Rogan owns the largest independent media property on planet earth and his demographic largely intersects with MMA. He is extraordinarily important to Dana making money.

Joe might be the highest ROI they have across the board. It would cost tens of millions a year to buy ads with similar exposure they get for free.

This lol.

The UFC would be absolutely stupid to not bend over backwards for Rogan.

 

[GilErick]

Unless their name is Burt Watson

 

[Siver!]

This thread reflects well on Dana.

Obviously his benevolence is very pick-and-choose at best, but Rogan has probably deserved it.

He could still be quietly removed from so many broadcasts, though, that wouldn't hurt. He just isn't at the right level as a commentator, nothing about cancel culture or anything like that about it.

 

[ImLovinIt]

Interpretation: Joe Rogan has been with me, knows all my skeletons. Need to protect him to protect myself.

 

[JustforBROCK]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA sure he fucking did. LOLOLOLOL

 

[Captain Herb]

If Rogan had told the story, I miiiiight believe it. But since it's Lyin' Dana White...

 

[BROWNPRIDE]

Good for Dana to not succumb to the cancel culture and the smear campaign on Rogan. The bald brothers have each other's backs

You like women beaters though? Dana can also fuck over the fighters with pay and no insurance but he’s not woke. Lol what a joke

This right here.

 

[kfighter]

2 years later, we're going to hear Dana say "Joe Rogan was never my friend!"

 

[ProPROpro]

Always believe uncle Dana. Always.

 

[Neck&Neck]

Once Joe had gotten that Spotify deal and levelled up enough to sit at the BigBoy table with Dana
He knew he had to protect him

 

[dominion]

Bah, so close! WME almost shut down during the pandemic and we nearly got rid of Baldy and Rogaine at the same time.

Oh well, here's hoping the Vince controversies kill TKO.

And what are you gonna do if there was no more UFC? Post at the summer's eve forum? It's like you dopey MMA fans forget that you're here because you're MMA fans.

 

[Striker Fox]

No way Dana does this if Rogan doesn't have one of the biggest platforms to promote the UFC

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Watch whatever springs up next?

 

[ComfortablyNumb55]

Let's be honest.

If Dana has your back, you're golden.

Just don't cross the line with him and he'll back you up.

Unfortunately, he's sensitive and once he turns on you, he can grind you into dust.

 

[Dusty Rhodes]

They weren't doing jobs though

"No show jobs"

 

[Cooliox]

You know he is a wife beating psychopath, which means you know enough about him to also know he is a renowned liar...and yet you immediately believe him anyway.

Dana's words mean nothing... but the other gentleman said he heard it himself...

And I would believe Joe Rogan
