The Joe Rogan Experience you know oftentimes in in the UFC you'll see guys when they go up in weight they become their best version like Charles Oliveira is a great example of that like he fought for 145 and a while for a while rather and he fought very well but it never really hit the strides that he hit when he went up to uh 155. he's on a roll now oh my God he's so good he's so good and he's he you know people take different approaches they talk smack give fights you know there's a whole different ways to do it he's so respectful so it's so nice yes and it's like I mean whatever I guess it's different for everybody but man he's got something that's working right now and he's hard not to root for yeah well that's who he is he's a very very nice guy and uh he got screwed in his last fight they there was uh some Shenanigans with scale uh some people had messed with the scale here's a problem with these digital scales um foreign Fighters they use kill kilograms and in America obviously we use pounds right and so the foreign Fighters were like these scales are calibrated and then the foreign Fighters would reset the scale so they could switch it back to kilograms so it [ __ ] up the whole calibration oh I see and so he would weigh in or he weighed in like the night before the weigh-ins he was like oh I'm good to go and then in the morning he goes and shows up for the weight cut and it's a pound Plus off and that is directly related to this calibration thing calibration issue yeah so since now they have a the UFC has a new policy because of this where they have a guard who watches over the scale 24 hours a day like day of shifts where no one can [ __ ] with the scale like that if you're going to get on that scale to try yourself they're going to watch you like a hawk and you don't press any buttons you don't just get on what's your weight get off that's it so these guys were monkeying around with the scale and that's surprising that even at the level that UFC's at right now it's that was still still hadn't got that figured out it's Phoenix yeah that's that's what it is and it's not not a knock on Phoenix I love Phoenix it's just that the people that are there don't do high level World Championship MMA fights on a regular basis they do a
few you know we've had a good good time there they've had some good events there but uh they just made a mistake they'll let these guys do it and there should have been someone watching the scale and if the scale was off and that's a fact and that's why Oliveira look it's not the best excuse because just engaging made weight yeah everybody else made weight except uh one of the the women that fought earlier in the night she didn't make weight but that's it but how so I I wanted Gucci in that fight I'm I'm a Justin gay chief fan I love all his team I like his attitude I like he's a just a he's also tough um but how impressive is it that Oliveira can have that all that drama which you know how you got to be in the right mindset to fight I imagine and he's got to overcome all this and still then he gets rocked yeah gets rocked twice by gaichi Who's Got You Know hands of stone [Music] and still comes back and wins well here's what's interesting about Charles Oliveira when Charles Oliveira fights even though he's the champion he fights like like a Berserker he fights he puts himself in danger like he doesn't fight safe he doesn't fight to try to out point you he doesn't fight tactically like where he's trying to get you know the the least amount of damage and you know and drag you into deep water and then and then strategically try to take you out the fourth and fifth round no from the moment the first Bell Rings he's coming at you guns blazing and gaichi was coming at him too but it's like gaichi was overwhelmed by Olivera's pace and his aggression it's why even when gagey cracked him Oliveira is so different than anybody else when he gets hit he just lays on his back yeah and he's like come get some of this and nobody wants that guard to break so he's got the most submissions in the history of the sport he recovers yeah so because nobody wants to go to the ground right normally guys would just come bombing in yeah just trying to land anything extra it's like when you wound an animal any other arrow in it is right so you're just trying to glance something off catches something most time guys will hurt a guy come in and just go crazy but not with him no you don't want that ground game his ground game is so Elite
it's so good I mean I wonder how he would do in a like world-class Brazilian Jiu Jitsu tournament because I think he would do very well because I watched the way he finishes submissions the way he syncs things up I mean it is top of the food chain stuff I've seen a lot of jujitsu in my days I've rarely seen anyone compete in MMA that closes the show like Oliveira when the fight goes to the ground his [ __ ] is razor sharp razor sharp
