Joe Rogan recalled the latest UFC loss of lightweight champion Charles Oliveira during the most recent episode of his podcast.
Oliveira is on a 10-fight winning streak since losing to Paul Felder via TKO at UFC 218 in December 2017. He defeated Dustin Poirier in the main event of UFC 269 to make his first successful title defense.
Speaking on episode 1751 of The Joe Rogan Experience, the renowned commentator spoke about how Felder dominated 'Do Bronx' and proved his status as an elite fighter.
"Don't look at who he was five years ago or six years ago. Look who he is right now. I do not think it was that long ago. He had a fight with Felder. And he got Felder I believe in a guillotine. Then Felder got out of it, smashed him and stopped him. But Felder is the f***ing man. You know people forget how goddamn good Paul Felder is. He may have retired and may have never won the title. But Felder is an absolutely elite fighter. There is a thing when you get to the top level of a division, any given Saturday night [anything can happen]. He eventually wound up on top [of Oliveira] and Felder beat the f*** out of him," said Rogan.
