Dana White recently gave his stamp of approval to Joe Rogan’s inspirational message! The UFC color commentator and host of the JRE (Joe Rogan Experience) podcast is known by the fans for his incredible work ethic, as evidenced by the success of his ventures in stand-up comedy, TV, and the realm of podcasting.

In a past interview with Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson during episode no. 2063 of the JRE, Rogan referenced a quote from boxing legend, Mike Tyson that encapsulated his approach towards success, he stated, “Mike Tyson had a great phrase, He said discipline is doing what you hate to do, but doing it like you love it. ” And so, in a recent social media post, the UFC CEO seemed to agree with Rogan’s message as he shared another clip of him talking about the mentality required to “get sh*t done”!

In the video shared on his Instagram story, Dana White highlighted a clip of Joe Rogan giving an inspirational and motivational speech. The clip begins with Rogan stating, “What you do when you’re tired? Let me see how you push yourself. Come on man, get up, get up again tomorrow, get up again tomorrow, the next day. Get up, get up, get up, keep going. Doing more hard sh*t makes you do more hard sh*t.”

The host of the JRE’s remarks encouraged perseverance in the face of adversity and urged individuals who were listening to continue going despite obstacles. His comments reflect the statements he made about his love for martial arts during a conversation with comedian, Jimmy Carr on episode no. 2045 of the JRE.

Rogan had stated, “When I got into martial arts, then I realized, like oh I’m not lazy. I’m just not interested in those other things…I was also not around people that were following their passions…”

The Instagram video then goes on with Rogan stating, “Understand that you want it bad, so you’re willing to put in the work and do things you don’t want to do, it’s what makes you have that confidence, that you know how to push through. And the mentality that, ‘I’m the type of dude to get sh*t done.’”

And so, White’s straightforward caption, “Love this f**king sh*t!!!” encapsulated his appreciation for Rogan’s motivational words. It reflects the shared ethos of hard work and perseverance that both men embody in their respective fields.

Their bond is also based on a long-term association between the pair that began in the early 2000s and has also led Dana White to proclaim that he’d rather leave the UFC than ever fire Joe Rogan from the promotion!

UFC boss reveals unwavering support for Rogan and his place in the UFC

Dana White has confessed that nothing will sway his loyalty, especially when it comes to longtime UFC commentator Joe Rogan! In a recent interview with Lex Fridman on his podcast, the UFC CEO revealed that he would do anything in his power, including stepping away from the UFC, to ensure that his employees are taken care of.

He stated, “When you’re with me, you’re with me. It’s a two-way street. It’s not a one-way street.” His remarks are especially important considering an incident in 2022, when Joe Rogan came under fire after a video had surfaced with the UFC color commentator making questionable remarks on his podcast, prompting calls for his removal from the promotion. Fridman exclaimed that he was present when Rogan received a call from Dana White during the incident, and the UFC boss offered to resign from the organization if Rogan was let go.

White further went on to state, “I can’t say what’s gonna happen when I leave, but when I’m here, the people who are with me and have been with me they know exactly what’s up, and Joe knows what’s up. It’s a two-way street. Joe Rogan has been very loyal to me, and I am very loyal to Joe Rogan.”
