Dana White and Joe Rogan look so similar that many social media users always assume they were the same person. Some appear to have been duped into making a hilarious oversight due to common threads in both men's lives.
Both are active in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), are bald, and are in their fifties. While some joked that they'd never been spotted in the same room together, there is ample photographic proof to indicate that Rogan and White are not the same person.

"Bald celebrities are so confusing"
Twitter users have expressed their confusion over White and Rogan's similar appearances. A user wrote, "Bald celebrities are so confusing which ones Dana White and which ones Joe Rogan?" Many other tweets demonstrated that the user was not alone in their thoughts.
"Just realised that @danawhite and @joerogan aren’t the same person. Baffled I’ve not processed it before," wrote another with a laughing emoji with tears. Another Twitter user posted, "I used to think Joe Rogan and Dana White were the same person."
"Wait, you mean to tell me Joe Rogan and Dana White aren't the same person," another user said. "Cuz I swear I've never seen them in the same place at the same time," he added.
The misunderstanding extends across social media platforms, with several Reddit posts referring to the same issue over the years. "How the hell are you supposed to tell the difference between Joe Rogan, Dana White, and Alex Jones," a user said, referring to the controversial conspiracy theorist Jones.
"An epic battle"
Regardless of what this Twitter user claims, there is plenty of photographic and video evidence of the two together at the same moment. They're shown here play-fighting at the Video Game Awards in 2006 when Rogan had hair and it was easier to tell them apart. People may mix up the two because White is the UFC's president and Rogan is a UFC analyst and interviewer.
Both men exhibit physical similarities, such as a similar build and lack of hair, and they are only two years apart in age — Rogan is 55 and White is 53. A number of social media users have also begun to circulate an image of Rogan and White as characters in a video game. A Twitter user said, "This would be an epic battle " While another added, "The struggle we all need."
