The podcaster and iconic UFC commentator Joe Rogan is a great fan of Charles Oliveira and his ‘in your face’ fighting style. Joe Rogan will unfortunately not attend the UFC 280 event in Abu Dhabi. However, as a passionate UFC fan, he will most certainly watch the main match between Charles Oliveira and Islam Makhachev.
Charles Oliveira will face the less experienced Islam Makhachev in what is to be one of the most anticipated matches in the recent history of the UFC. Charles Oliveira is someone who fought the best of the best already. Lastly, he has built his 11-win streak on fighters that are all on top of the ranking list.
Joe Rogan Is A Massive Charles Oliveira Fan – ‘He Fights Like A Berserker!’
Islam Makhachev on the other side is currently on a 10-win streak. UFC fans criticize him for not deserving the match against the lightweight ‘king’ Charles Oliveira. However, as a Khabib Nurmagomedov prodigy, he is most certainly a tough opponent. He incorporated most of his mentor’s fighting styles into his own.
The Brazilian Charles Oliveira is a fighter that has a cardio tank that doesn’t empty no matter what. No matter what round it is, no matter how tough his opponent is, he manages to never stop pushing forward. When you take into consideration that in the last 17 months he had three title defenses against fighters that are on the top of the pound-for-pound list, you get the picture of what kind of fighter Oliveira is.
As he went through Michael Chandler, Dustin Poirier, and Justin Gaethje – Joe Rogan never stopped being amazed by the skills that the Brazilian showed. The Joe Rogan Experience podcast host was present at all of these past Charles Oliveira events. In a recent episode of the podcast he even referred to Oliveira as a ‘berserker’.
“Here’s what’s interesting about Charles Oliveira… when Charles Oliveira fights, even though he’s the champion, he fights like a berserker. He puts himself in danger, like he doesn’t fight safe. Also, he doesn’t fight to try to outpoint you. Oliveira doesn’t fight tactically, like where he’s trying to get the least amount of damage and drag you into deep water.” – Joe Rogan told to his guest in a recent episode of his podcast.
“’Good luck, take me down, because I’ll f***ing strangle you off my back.’” – Joe Rogan kept on praising the Brazilian fighter. “You can’t count Charles Oliveira out against anyone. Something happened to him… it’s the birth of his daughter. And that when he had his kid, he just changed everything. Just became this ferocious, savage f***ing assassin in there.”
