Dana White was once left in disbelief after Joe Rogan asked 'idiotic' question to Ronda Rousey live on-air

Dana White reacted angrily to Joe Rogan's 'idiotic' question to Ronda Rousey immediately after her victory at UFC 175.

Back in July 2014, Rousey vs. Alexis Davis headlined UFC 175.

Rousey claimed a stunning victory, stopping her opponent in just 16 seconds to defend her UFC women's bantamweight title.

After the fight, she spoke to Rogan, who asked her if she would be willing to make a quick turnaround to take a short-notice fight.

According to UFC legend Chael Sonnen, the question infuriated White who was left 'p**sed' backstage.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Sonnen said: "Somebody overstepped and told Joe Rogan in his ear to, 'Ask Ronda right now in front of the world if she’ll come in on short notice'.

"And Joe did ask. Ronda was like, 'Yeah, sure. I guess'. She was kind of caught off guard, but it was cool, everybody did what they were supposed to do."

The former UFC middleweight and light-heavyweight title challenger added: "Dana White was p**sed. Behind the scenes, if you were there and you saw who he went over to and engaged with... Afterwards, he was more confined, but he let you know that’s not how we do business.

"He made it clear that not only would Ronda not be doing that fight, but he also he would not even offer that fight because she should never have been put in that position."

At the UFC 175 post-fight press conference, however, White cleared up the situation by directing his anger at the production team, calling the incident the 'biggest idiotic move'.

"I wasn’t upset with Joe Rogan," he clarified.

"I was upset with the truck telling him to tell Ronda that she’s going to fight again. That wasn’t true, that was some sh*t that somebody made up back there.

"It was the biggest idiotic move in the history of our production team."

Rousey didn't take the short-notice fight as she eventually returned to action seven months later, beating Cat Zingano at UFC 184.
