Joe Rogan discusses game-changing Dana White boxing rumour with Donald Trump
Joe Rogan has claimed Dana White is close to promoting in boxing when discussing the sport with Donald Trump.
White has built an empire in the sport of MMA with promotion UFC, which has been valued at $11.3 billion and has produced some of combat sport's biggest stars including Conor McGregor.
The UFC kingpin has long teased a move into boxing, and recently announced that he would be increasing his involvement in the sport in the coming years.
He currently has began promoting Irish star Callum Walsh and is expected to announce his plans at the start of 2-25.
UFC pundit and podcaster Joe Rogan sat down with US presidential candidate Donald Trump to discuss mutual friend White's move, which Rogan suggested is set to be in partnership with Saudi Arabia.
The host said during his chat with the former president: "Dana is working with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
"They’re going to start promoting boxing now, and with Dana at the helm, I think boxing can return.
"The thing is, they want to make fights that other promoters maybe don’t want to make because they want to protect their fighter.
“Controversial fights where it’s dangerous, like you don’t know if this guy could lose.
