Joe Rogan recently reacted to Deontay Wilder's wild KO in his comeback fight this past weekend.

'The Bronze Bomber' faced a foe who used to be his sparring partner, Robert Helenius, at the Barclays Center in New York. After a two-fight losing spree against Tyson Fury, the former WBC Heavyweight Champion secured an outstanding first-round knockout to throw his name into the gauntlet of championship contenders.

Taking to his official Instagram handle, UFC color commentator Joe Rogan reacted to Wilder's scintillating performance against Helenius. The JRE podcast host seemed to be in awe of the heavyweight's emphatic punch, calling it “the touch of death."

Lauding 'The Bronze Bomber', Joe Rogan wrote:

"It’s absolutely f**king amazing the power that @bronzebomber can generate. He’s truly unlike anyone I’ve ever seen in the history of the heavyweight division. You can make no mistakes with this man. There have been many incredible KO artists in the history of boxing, but for my money he’s the most impressive. If you look at this punch it wasn’t even with full leverage and his opponent instantly shuts off. It’s what the great @firas_zahabi calls “the touch of death.”

Joe Rogan comments on Charles Oliveira's captivating fighting style

Still considered by many to be the lightweight champ, Charles Oliveira is all set to fight Islam Makahchev for the vacant lightweight belt. The former was stripped of the title due to a weight miss at UFC 274, and later many fighters alleged that the scale was not working correctly.

During a recent edition of his popular podcast show The Joe Rogan Experience, host Joe Rogan alongside guest Cameron Hanes discussed the Brazilian's enthralling title fights so far.

Putting forth his opinion on 'do Bronx's fighting style, Rogan said:

"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. He doesn't fight to try to outpoint you. He doesn't fight tactically, like where he's trying to get the least amount of damage and drag you into deep waters."

Charles Oliveira enters UFC 280 on an 11-fight win streak, with the majority of his victories coming via submission or knockout. Islam Makhachev, on the other hand, is also riding a ten-fight winning streak.
