"They kick him out" - When Joe Rogan recalled Dana White's $7 million exploit and the UFC's fallout with popular Las Vegas casino

UFC CEO Dana White has a known gambling habit. On multiple occasions, UFC commentator Joe Rogan has shared some of White's casino adventures on his podcast.

In episode #1824 of The Joe Rogan Experience, the 57-year-old was having a conversation with Lex Fridman when Rogan started sharing some of White's gambling stories. Rogan stated how White's biggest winning sum from a casino was a whopping $7 million and his biggest loss was around $1 million.

The UFC commentator shared that one time, the UFC CEO won such a huge amount at The Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, the establishment banned him from playing there again.

As a response, White decided to withdraw all the UFC events that used to be held at The Palms.

"[Dana White's] so good, they kick him out of casinos. Listen to this story. This was back when it was The Palms... He won so much money, the most he's ever won on a night is 7 million dollars. Most he ever lost on a night is a million. He's really wealthy. So, for him to feel it, to get that charge, he's gotta be betting big money.

"So, he won so much money, they told him he's banned from the casino. And he said, 'Oh really? Well, guess what else is banned?' And he pulled the UFC out of The Palms. So, the UFC, we used to do 'The Ultimate Fighter' and some of the smaller shows we'd do at The Palms. And he pulled it from The Palms."

Joe Rogan speaks about the skill difference between UFC athletes and other fighters

Joe Rogan believes that the level of competition as well as the skills possessed by UFC athletes, is superior to any other MMA organization in the world.

To back his statement, Rogan brought up the recent flyweight title clash between Alexandre Pantoja and UFC debutant Kai Asakura.

"The level at the UFC, as great as some of these guys are in other organisations, the level at the UFC, that's the peak. Those are the greatest fighters. There's not arguing about it... Alexandre Pantoja... he fought this dude Kai Asakura from Japan who's an assassin... but the level is just different, Pantoja just strangled him."
