The UFC CEO

Dana White may just have found common ground in the most unlikely of places. White is a risk taker. We already know that given his extensive history with combat sports. He is the CEO of UFC as well as the mind behind the rapidly growing Power Slap.

So who is this person that White found an immense similarity to himself in? It’s none other than the famous streamer Adin Ross. Ross and White have met before and even exchanged a few games of cards. Here’s what makes the two sound like they’re cut from the same cloth.

Dana White and Adin Ross, what’s the same?

Ross and White sat down for a gambling match and Dana White couldn’t help but recall the incident in a recent conversation. The UFC Boss is worth hundreds of millions, and Adin Ross is also fairly fortunate himself. Here’s how the whole thing went between White and Ross.

“Adin is fascinating,” said White. “You know I was sitting in here a couple days ago with a psychologist and uh and Hunter right and these guys are f*cking psychoanalyzing me and basically they’re talking about how I have no fear of risk.”

“Zero fear of risk and Adin Ross is one of those f*cking guys too when you actually watch Adin sit down and you know we’ve gambled together many times. Zero fear of risk this kid he’s f*cking all in.” Him and Ross have played at the table before and the clips went pretty viral too.

Ross is a fan of White’s other venture, Power Slap. He has been seen stageside betting on fighters as the slapping goes on. White and he probably connected over similar events and became somewhat close to one another. Either way, Power Slap remains a crucial part of them coming together. And it also remains a controversial part of White’s life.

And by the looks of it, Rogan seemed a little bit impressed by the short interaction. So will he be the next guest? Perhaps as Rogan’s Spotify deal nears its end in 2024, he’d like to do as many episodes as possible and invite interesting guests over. Ross is certainly an interesting candidate. Would you watch such an episode? Let us know in the comments.
