White and Johnson are such good friends that they have signed multiple deals in the UFC. And building upon the same, White, on Monday, wished the ‘Brahma Bull’ a happy birthday, “Happy 50th birthday my brother!!! @TheRock,” White captioned a photo with Johnson.

Both Johnson and White have complimented each other in the past for their work ethic and business choices, as they remain supportive of each other.

Dana White once also advised Dwayne Johnson on his XFL, an alternative to the NFL, purchase that cost ‘The Rock’ a whopping $15 million.

“If I was the Rock, I’d get that rolling as fast as I could. I’d try to get that on TV ASAP. I guarantee there’s a ton of networks that’ll do it, that’ll give it a try right now,” White said.

“They’re dying for live sports programming. I’m actually going to call [The Rock] today and walk him through what I think he needs to do on the COVID side of this thing, and I have some ideas for him. He’s a guy that will actually f***ing listen to me,” White continued.

White and Johnson’s comradery has also materialized in the UFC as well, as the Hollywood actor placed his brand ‘Project Rock’ as the official footwear partner of the premier promotion not so long ago.

However, earlier this year, Johnson and White finalized a multi-year and global deal that saw ‘Project Rock’ take that place. When briefing about the deal, Johnson was overcome with happiness and praised UFC athletes with kind words.

“UFC athletes are amongst the greatest, toughest, focused, most disciplined and hardest training athletes on the planet. Every walk to the iconic Octagon by a UFC fighter is fueled with passion, mana, and the deep desire to establish their dominance and LEGACY,” Johnson posted on his Instagram.
