Count UFC color commentator Joe Rogan among those who think Charles Oliveira ‘got screwed’ by the Arizona Athletic Commission prior to his fight with Justin Gaethje at UFC 274.
Oliveira, the now-former UFC lightweight champion, was stripped of the title after weighing in half a pound over the 155-pound championship limit. But there might have been some fishy business behind the scenes, as UFC official Marc Ratner suspects the practice scale may have been tampered with prior to ‘Do Bronx’ missing weight.
Rogan isn’t sure there was any evidence of tampering, suggesting the cause could have been a miscalibration issue, but either way, he thinks Oliveira got the short end of the stick in this situation.
