During these discussions, there was also a topic about placing bets. While the hosts, Kyle and Bob, explained their betting history, the UFC supremo too shared a betting incident, where he placed he placed a huge chunk of money on someone but had to return empty-handed.

“A million dollars,” White said when asked about the biggest sports bet he ever made. “Remember Jermain Taylor? The boxer? Good looking f*cking kid came up through the Olympics and actually married the volleyball player.”
