'What the f***' - Joe Rogan left speechless by Donald Trump's response to his fear of terror attack at UFC White House

Joe Rogan shared the conversation he had with Donald Trump at the UFC White House card last week.

Joe Rogan has revealed the comment from Donald Trump about a potential terrorist attack at the White House card which left him stunned.

Rogan was part of the broadcasting team for the UFC Freedom 250 at the White House on Sunday, where Justin Gaethje became lightweight champion with a destructive TKO victory over Ilia Topuria in the he main event.

Off the back off his triumph, Gaethje appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience alongside MMA trainer Trevor Wittman to discuss his big win.

The trio talked about the scale of the spectacle UFC put on at the White House, splashing out $60 million for the historic show.

Wittman spoke about the possibility of such an event going horribly wrong - even with an increased security presence.

That led to a defiant Gaethje saying, "I was like, f*'k it. If I get taken out in the middle of the case, how f*cking legendary would that be?”.

Rogan then explained that he had spoken to the President about the possibility of a terror attack occurring and was genuinely taken aback by his strong response.

He revealed: “I said to Trump, I hope we don’t die in a terrorist attack. He goes, we gotta go somehow. I go, what the f*ck, dude?”

Rogan and his two guests couldn't help but laugh about the remark. The 58-year-old said the UFC White House card was "the was the wildest experience that I’ve ever had in my 20 whatever years of calling combat sports" and that it "was the greatest night of fights of all time".

UFC Freedom 250 terror attack was foiled by FBI

Though Rogan and his recent guests took a light-hearted approach, the FBI released a statement with details of a planned terror attack that they managed to thwart before it could happen.

Officials told Fox News that they were able to thwart a planned out plot where 'explosive-packed drones' would hit buildings close to the White House.

According to a terrifying report, the idea was to prompt mass evacuation and send crowds into a nearby sniper team who had taken up positions - with a second wave including storming the White House gate.

23 people were identified as being involved in a potential network, with the FBI becoming aware of the threat days before and worked closely with the U.S Secret Service and other partners.

In a statement, on X, FBI director Kash Patel said: "On June 10, FBI and our law enforcement partners became aware of a potential threat to the UFC America 250 event in Washington, D.C. involving individuals outside of the National Capital Region – and thanks to the rapid action of this FBI, our partners, and the Department of Justice in a multi-state operation, multiple individuals are now in custody and allegedly planned attacks were stopped cold.

"While the result represented the best of investigative work, it was also nothing out of the ordinary for this law enforcement team – we are built to detect, respond to, and bring to justice those who threaten the lives of American citizens - particularly during large gatherings like the historic UFC 250 fight. That’s exactly what we did here.

"I want to thank our great agents and partners. This work remains ongoing, and we will continue to update the public as permitted."
