The Joe Rogan Experience and its role in the upcoming U.S. presidential election always be remembered by Americans, after the UFC color commentator unexpectedly invited ex-POTUS Donald Trump onto his podcast. This episode has become one of the most-watched, with 44 million views, reviving interest in Rogan’s show, which some claimed was losing its edge. Trump’s bold communication skills allowed him to tackle every question from the podcaster, leading to discussions about the impact of Trump’s presence on the segment.

This question was echoed by comedian and writer Francis Foster, a recent guest on the latest episode (#2220) of JRE. Rogan, impressed by Donald Trump, remarked, “He’s very charming, right? So he’s very friendly to me, and we have a very good mutual friend—Dana White. Dana White loves him.”

Joe Rogan further highlighted Trump’s positive contributions, recalling how, back in the 2000s, ex-POTUS helped White by offering his venue to host UFC events when other venue owners turned away from the sport. The podcaster explained, “He stood up for Dana when MMA was a banned sport and let them put on his events in Trump’s casino in Atlantic City. Dana has always had a good friendship with him, you know.”

Since then, the developing friendship between Donald Trump and Dana White has grown stronger over time, as evidenced by Trump’s occasional appearances, including his recent appearance at UFC 302 earlier this summer, where he enjoyed the headline event featuring the lightweight title clash between Islam Makhachev and Dustin Poirier.

However, with his latest appearance on JRE, many critics are raising eyebrows, speculating about White’s role in bringing his friend Donald Trump onto Joe Rogan’s podcast to gain an upper hand in the upcoming election. But is it true? Well, it’s a question only UFC head honcho Dana White can answer, as he recently came clean on this situation.

For Dana White, nothing is more important than loyalty, which he has earned and given over decades of building the world’s largest mixed martial arts promotion. Throughout this challenging journey, he has gained respect and built strong relationships with personalities like Donald Trump and Joe Rogan, who have supported him and his billion-dollar promotion during hard times.

How could White leave out his friend in his time of need? Dana White is leaving no stone unturned to help get Donald Trump back in the White House, which is why he encouraged the former president to appear on Joe Rogan’s podcast.

White recently admitted this in his latest conversation with Russell Brand, stating, “He is authentic enough to go on Joe Rogan’s show for three and a half hours, unscripted, and talk about anything that pops up. I pushed hard for him to do that interview because that’s the setting he needs to be in every time he does an interview. With the mainstream media, it’s all the same bulls**t, and I knew that he and Rogan would sit down.”
