Joe Rogan Campaigns For Charles Oliveira To Fight For Lightweight Title
Joe Rogan believes Charles Oliveira should fight Dustin Poirier for a vacant lightweight title.
With Khabib Nurmagomedovretired, and likely not coming back, the big question is who would fight for the belt. According to Rogan, he believes a fight between Oliveira and Poirier is a scrap he wants to see and one that makes a ton of sense.
“I believe (Khabib) is the GOAT of that division, but I don’t know what would have happened with Oliveira until you see it,” Rogan said on his podcast (via MMAFighting). “With Oliveira, there are moments – like when Cub Swanson knocked him out – there’s moments when you go back in his career and you go, ‘Oh, this guy is not the greatest.’ Then you see him in some fights like the Kevin Lee fight – where he submitted Kevin Lee – submits Tony in a spectacular way. He’s just so technical. Everything’s so good. He’s never out of position. He doesn’t force anything. Everything looks f****** amazing.
