Joe Rogan may be a fan of Madonna in his childhood, but currently, the UFC analyst is a fan of the best lightweight fighter, Charles Oliveira.

Joe Rogan praises Charles Oliveira’s performance at UFC 274

The UFC commentator saw ‘Do Bronx‘ miss weight and then outclass Justin Gaethje at his own game. This performance from Oliveira showed how underrated his striking has been, even after giving constant wonderful performances on the feet against the likes of Dustin Poirier and Michael Chandler.

Rogan praised Oliveira’s fight style and said, “He puts himself in danger… He doesn’t fight to try to outpoint you; he doesn’t fight tactically… from the moment the first bell rings, he’s coming at you.”

Even though the Brazilian won at UFC 274, since he missed weight, the UFC stripped him of his title. However, he would have the chance to win it back when he fights for the vacant lightweight title sometime this year.
