Joe Rogan tells Dana White to 'spice' up White House card with another title bout
Joe Rogan has told Dana White to add another huge bout to the White House card following UFC London.
The UFC returned to London on Saturday for a Fight Night card headlined by a pivotal featherweight clash between Movsar Evloev and Lerone Murphy.
It was billed as No.1 contender fight, with UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski a keen observer.
Evloev went onto beat Murphy by majority decision to secure his 10th win in a row inside the famed Octagon.

After the fight, he called for his shot at Volkanovski and Rogan suggested the championship showdown takes place at UFC Freedom 250.
Rogan, who was joined by Joey Diaz, Brendan Schaub and Eddie Bravo on his Fight Companion, watched UFC London from his podcast studio and was full of praise for Evloev before proposing a fight against Volkanovski to take place on the South Lawn.
The UFC commentator said: "Very impressive... the fact that he was able to stand with him was very impressive to me."
On Evloev getting the next title shot at 145bs, he added: "I hope they don't f**k him again. Has to be or something's terrible in the world."
Rogan later suggested Volkanovski vs. Evloev should take place at UFC Freedom 250, which already boasts two UFC title bouts.
"White House lawn, let's go," he said. "Give the man a couple months off. We're only in March It's in June. Come on spice that card up, baby."
Alexander Volkanovski: 'I guess Movsar Evloev is next'
Volkanovski is waiting for his next UFC assignment, having defended his UFC featherweight title against Diego Lopes last month.
He was keeping a close eye on Evloev vs. Murphy and is expecting to face the undefeated Russian next.
"I don’t think we all expected Movsar to just want to stand with Lerone," he said of Evloev's striking-based game plan against Murphy. "Whether that was something that he felt he had to do, just so he could guarantee himself a title shot, I’m not too sure.
“You could see that he was a lot stronger when he wanted to take him down, and was able to outdo him on the feet.
“For me, it’s quite impressive, to be honest. Fair play to him, he’s 20-0 now."
He added: "I guess he’s next."
