Joe Rogan wants one more fight added to UFC Freedom 250.
Movsar Evloev (20-0 MMA, 10-0 UFC) further cemented his case for a featherweight title shot after he edged out Lerone Murphy by majority decision at UFC Fight Night 270 Saturday from The O2 in London. Evloev overcame a point deduction after landing two inadvertent low blows during the fight.

Rogan thinks the Russian fighter has done more than enough to earn a shot at UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski – and he wants to see it on June 14 at the White House.
“The Evloev thing was very impressive. The fact that he was able to stand with him was very impressive to me,” Rogan said on his “Fight Companion” podcast. “I’m into (Volkanovski vs. Evloev). God, I hope so. I hope they don’t f*ck him again. After this? It has to be, or something is terrible in the world. White House lawn, let’s go. Give the man a couple of months off. We’re only in March, it’s in June. Come on, spice that card up, baby.”
All of Evloev’s 10 UFC wins have gone the distance. Rogan noticed that he opted to stand and trade with Murphy for the most part.
“The pressure he must be getting to try and finish fights in strikes, and strike with people must be nuts,” Rogan said.
