He lamented being unable to bet more.

"Because these sissies won't give me $1 million a hand," he said.

"I'm a sick, sick guy. That's the only explanation I can give ya," he said.

But in the blink of an eye, White's luck turned around. The two left the table up $700,000.

He opened up about his stance when it comes to fighters being able to speak freely on social media about whatever topics they want.

"I'm a big believer in free speech, and unfortunately probably the most important speech to protect is hate speech," he said, adding that he's not a fan of cancel culture.

"On both sides. It's like all the stuff that's going on with Charlie (Kirk) right now. These people are going out and saying stuff. And, you know, you're seeing people getting fired or kicked out of school.

"I think you're a disgusting human being if you're celebrating the death of another human being, but people make mistakes and people are gonna do dumb things. I don't like trying to destroy people's lives - over doing something dumb."
