“Down a $120,000 in the First Five Minutes” – Dana White’s Infamous Vegas Exploits With NFL Star Puts Joe Rogan in an Unusual Dilemma

Joe Rogan is a dear friend of the UFC president, Dana White. In his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, The UFC commentator has often been vocal about the bond they share. However, there is something about White that shocks Rogan, and it’s nothing but the UFC boss’s gambling tendencies. The 55-year-old is often surprised at the huge amount of money that White loses and gains during gambling.

A few weeks ago, a video of Dana White gambling with Kick star Adin Ross surfaced, in which the duo lost nearly $1 million. The video shocked the MMA fans, as, according to them, White was spending a lot of money for all the wrong reasons instead of paying the UFC fighters well. Now, yet another incident in which White lost a huge sum from gambling came to light from Rogan. Later, Rogan also narrated how the popular NFL star lost a large amount within five minutes of gambling with White.

Joe Rogan details on Dana White’s gambling

The UFC commentator was talking on the #2015 episode of JRE with Zach Bryan. During that time, he narrated an incident where the UFC Boss lost a whopping six hundred thousand dollars.

The former Fear Factor host said, “I was in Vegas with Dana White, Taylor Lewan… who else was gambling, Will Compton. Who else was gambling? That was Will Compton and Shane Gillis was with us and Jamie and Dana White was gambling and he was down six hundred thousand dollars just playing blackjack and I was like [shocked].“

Rogan further added how football offensive tackle Taylor Lewan showed huge interest in gambling with Dana White. However, Rogan tried to stop him, as he knew the UFC boss would destroy Lewan in minutes. The UFC commentator said, “He [Taylor Lewan] goes ‘Hey we’re gonna go gamble with Dana. I’m like ‘Oh my god do you know how hard he gambles he’s gonna get.’ He’s like ‘I’m up all this money.’ Taylor’s like ‘I’m fired up Dana shows me how to bet.’”

When Dana White was banned from a Casino

Joe Rogan once narrated an incident where White was banned from the Casino at Palms. The major reason for White’s ban was that he won an unimaginably huge sum through gambling. Rogan said, “So he won so much money that they told him he is banned from the casino.

 Rogan then recollected White’s reactions to the incident- “And he said, oh really? Guess what else is banned? And he pulled the UFC out of the palms.” The UFC commentator recalled that UFC used to conduct The Ultimate Fighter and small shows at the Palms, but now after White got banned from the casino, he stopped having them there.
