Flair said, “Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love it. I’ve gotten to know Dana fairly well.” Rogan replied, “He is really he’s the f**king man.” Flair added, “Yeah, great guy.”

Furthermore, Rogan added, “There’s no better person to be running it. It’s just like Vince running WWE, Dana running UFC is the same sort of thing. Like you can’t imagine that anybody else doing that job? You know I have it in my contract when he leaves. I’m gone.”

Clearly, Rogan and White are the closest friends as he is ready to leave the fighting promotion when the 53-year-old president retires. Nevertheless, the 55-year-old commentator is right when saying White and McMahon are similar.

Both made huge money from their companies and even legitimized MMA and pro wrestling worldwide. Now, as WWE is being sold to Endeavor, the parent company of UFC, both White and ‘Vinnie-Mac’ will get an opportunity to work together in their corporate roles.

White has made the UFC a top MMA company like McMahon made WWE. There are no signs of the UFC president leaving the company, but he might someday in the future as per Joe Rogan. However, Flair disagreed with the statement as he couldn’t envision the American visionary leaving the company he helped create.

Ric Flair says Dana White will never leave

Rogan shared about his clause of leaving UFC when White leaves. But the 16-time world champion doesn’t believe the 53-year-old will ever leave UFC. Naitch gave his take, saying, “Wow. Well, he won’t leave. He’s like Vince. What’s he gonna do?”

The UFC commentator claimed White would leave UFC because he has ample money now. Both Rogan and Flair had points that are true, but as Mr. McMahon created WWE, White made UFC. Hence, he might stay in the company for his entire life.
