Joe Rogan recently discussed Charles Oliveira ahead of his match against Islam Makhachev at UFC 280.

Oliveira is all set to lock horns with Makhachev for the lightweight title in the main event of UFC 280. The pay-per-view is scheduled for October 22 at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. The main card for this event is stacked with a bantamweight title clash between Aljamain Sterling and T.J. Dillashaw, as well as another bantamweight bout between Sean O'Malley and former champion Petr Yan.

Rogan discussed Oliveira's upcoming lightweight showdown against Makhachev with Will Harris on a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience. An excerpt of the same was uploaded to MMA-INSIDE YouTube channel. The UFC color commentator is of the view that the Brazilian's "world championship caliber" jiu-jitsu skills could prove to be a winning factor in his upcoming bout:

"If you get a guy like Charles Oliveira who's that good at jiu-jitsu, he could strangle a f**king heavyweight... Oliveira's jiu-jitsu is some of the best I have ever seen in MMA. It is like world championship caliber jiu-jitsu. But he's doing it in an MMA match. He's the one guy where it doesn't matter what happens in the fight, if you go to the ground with him you are in deep s**t."

Joe Rogan breaks down Gordon Ryan vs. Andre Galvao ADCC Superfight

Gordon Ryan secured a historic victory over legendary grappler Andre Galvao at ADCC 2022. Joe Rogan described Ryan's submission of the legend as a "one-armed rear-naked strangle." Speaking on the submission move on a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, he said:

"What he did was, he traps his left arm with his left leg and then he traps his right arm with his left arm. So he's one-arm strangling him and Galvao literally can't defend... I'm not saying it's not an awesome way to tap somebody, it certainly is. But that's not the hardest he could do it."
"The fact that he can tap world champions with a technique utilizing a small percentage of the power that he would get if he fully locked in and clamped down on the head... I mean it's wild. It's a one-arm rear-naked strangle is what it is."
