There's one question Joe Rogan was told to 'never ask again'

Joe Rogan was told to avoid asking one question by a UFC star ahead of one of the biggest fights of his career.

UFC bantamweight king Merab Dvalishvili spoke on a podcast in January and said he didn’t want to be asked about a potential future fight – and made it clear he didn’t want to hear one of Rogan’s questions.

The question relates to a potential bout with teammate Aljamain Sterling. Dvalishvili Verse Us with Eric Nicksick podcast and urged Rogan, and others, to stop asking about it.

Dvalishvili said: "I said don't ask me this question [about fighting Sterling] during press conference or media day.

“I was like I have to win first [against Aldo] and Aljo already has a fight... And when Joe Rogan asked me again and Aljo is there, 'Hey, are you going to fight Aljo?' And like I said, Please don't ask me this question anymore."
