Dana White is forever loyal to Joe Rogan.
The longtime UFC commentator and popular podcaster made his promotional debut at UFC 12 in 1997, years before White and the Fertitta brothers purchased the UFC for $2 million. However, it was White who gave Rogan his first shot at the commentary table, booking the then-Fear Factor host for UFC 37.5 (yeah, that’s a thing) in 2002.
20 years later, Rogan found himself in a heap of hot water after multiple clips of him using racial slurs emerged online.
