UFC President Dana White Joins the Company That Made a $100 Million-Worth Failed Attempt for His Friend Joe Rogan

Online video-sharing platform Rumble has seen substantial growth as a social media in 2022. It recently announced a partnership with slap-fighting promotion, Power Slap. The deal will feature an exclusive show based on slap fighting with founder, Dana White. 

Rumble has grown to prominence after influencer and former kickboxer, Andrew Tate switched to Rumble following his ban on all other social media websites. The new Power Slap deal will see the promotion start its own page on the platform.

Dana White said, “Rumble is an incredible platform and we couldn’t be more excited to be the first sports league to join. Tune in to the Power Slap page because you’re not going to want to miss this.”

The President of Power Slap, Frank Lamicella has publicly stated that it is a great opportunity for them to educate the fans about a new form of combat sport by helping fans connect with their athletes and popularize their content.

Rumble had earlier approached the UFC commentator and podcaster Joe Rogan for a similar deal. They were willing to offer him a lot of money for it.

Joe Rogan rejects Rumble’s offer

Joe Rogan is the host of probably the biggest podcast in the world, The Joe Rogan Experience. He has invited many guests from different walks of life, which makes the show very fun to watch.

Earlier this year, Rumble made an offer of $100 million to the 55-year-old to move his podcast from Spotify to their platform. Rogan reiterated this situation while in Texas for a stand-up performance. He maintained he will not leave Spotify. “No, Spotify has hung in with me, inexplicably, let’s see what happens,” said Joe Rogan. He had already signed a $100 million deal in 2020 when his show became a Spotify exclusive.

At the time of his Spotify Deal, Joe Rogan had faced a lot of backlash from several people who were of the opinion his podcast was spreading misinformation. Post that, Spotify introduced new features to prevent the same.
