When UFC President Dana White tested positive for COVID-19, the first thing he did was call Joe Rogan. White told The Jim Rome Podcast that he picked up the virus on vacation with his family in Maine, immediately phoning the UFC color commentator and podcast host for advice.
“We went up to my place in Maine for Thanksgiving; it’s tradition we go up there every Thanksgiving. Somebody up there had it, and we get back and we all tested positive for COVID. Literally the whole family and my family up in Maine, too.
When Dana White Knew He Had COVID, He Called Joe Rogan
We got back on Saturday. On Sunday – I cold plunge and steam every day – I get out of the cold plunge and I get in the steam, and I spray the eucalyptus and I couldn’t smell anything.
So I open the bottle, I start sniffing the bottle of eucalyptus, and I’m like yeah, I got no smell. So you know what this means. I literally got out of the steam, picked up my phone and called Joe Rogan.”
Joe Rogan courted controversy recently when he endorsed, among other things, the use of ivermectin, a horse dewormer, as treatment for COVID-19. The FDA has not approved the use of ivermectin as a treatment for COVID-19.
When Dana White tested positive for the coronavirus, he followed Joe Rogan’s advice to the letter. “[Joe] said as soon as you get up in the morning, get tested.
So I get up 9 o’clock Monday morning, get tested, I test positive. He said get monoclonal antibodies in you as soon as possible. So I did. By noon, I had the monoclonal antibodies in me and then he told me to do an NAD drip. I did that.
I get up Tuesday, getting ready to shave, cleaning my razor, I could smell the alcohol. My taste and smell were back the next day by 11 o’clock in the morning. Then I took a dose of ivermectin yesterday and then I did a vitamin drip and then today I did another NAD drip.
Could not feel better. Feel like a million bucks. I’m doing two-a-day workouts by the way for the next 10 days while I have COVID, I’m in quarantine. I got my smell and taste back in less than 24 hours.”
Dana White was, at the time, fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Should White test negative in time for this weekend’s UFC event, he plans on attending.
