Colby Covington would dominate RDA, that's why...

[Threetrees]

RDA has been ducking him for years

RDA is a weak chinned average striker with no wrestling game - he has a decent pressure style, but he can't pressure Colby without walking into takedowns. He will get walked down, thrown around and probably tapped late in a five rounder or at least a dominant decision

RDA should stop running and just take his ass whopping like a man

first RDA, then Woodley

then maybe Colby can coax Conor out of hiding for a real money fight

People let their hatred for Colby get in the way of common sense.

Thing is i actually enjoy watching RDA fight but Colby is a very bad match up for him.

 

[lolo 06]

i dont think anyone ever ducked colby
btw according to usman,colby already turned him down 3 times,so you shouldn t talk about rda like that

Indeed.
Styles make fights, and RDA is an undersized muay thai/bjj style fighter with average to poor wrestling defense. It's been good recently but what dominant wrestler has he beat? Bendo on the way down?

Why?
Does Colby avoiding Usman somehow change the fact that RDA is avoiding Colby?

 

[Londonjitsu]

Ducking him for years? he's just joined his division.

Colby has been irrelevant more or less until his maia win recently

Again here we go, think about this logically.

You just beat the guy that lost to Tyron Woodley gained number 3 ranking. Why on earth would you go all the way down to fight the number 11 guy. Colby is looking at a possible title shot or a number 1 contender fight vs. RDA and at the very least a match up with Wonderboy.

People's emotions get in the way of common sense when it comes to Colby because he really has triggered a lot of people.

RDA has the edge over five rounds.

 

[Head Movement]

The guy just dominated and outstruke Lawler for 5 rounds.

 

[Threetrees]

quote

Lawler didn't look himself, but yes he did - not through truly exceptional technique, but because he's a great gameplan fighter when he uses pressure. It makes his striking shine more than it probably should. Good look pressuring a guy who will level change everytime you put weight on your front foot.

 

[Threetrees]

RDA has the edge over five rounds.

Based on what

 

[Chappi]

Even if that's true, it doesn't change the fact that Colby is boring as fuck and RDA is not.

 

[DiegoLunes]

Colby schools anyone at WW.

Colby got bloodied by Demian Maia buddeh

Colby got bloodied by Demian Maia buddeh

Colby is not a great striker, that much seems obvious
But Maia is a godlike BJJ player, he avoiding the ground like the plague - it was bound to be a shitty kickboxing fight once it was made

RDA is not Maia on the mat, or with wrestling for that matter.

At least try and be subtle trolling next time, croist

Weak troll

How could RDA have possibly been ducking him for years, lol

RDA has a high level ground game as well, if Colby gets him to the ground, he will work his way back up, and he definitely has the edge in the cardio department. CC might to able to dryhump his way to a UD in a 3 rounder but RDA stops him late if it's a 5 round fight.

Tell me where I'm wrong. Aside from the clear and obvious use of hyperbole in the final line, nothing in my post is unreasonable.
It is an admitted fact that RDA is avoiding Colby, and if you follow the sport this has been an ongoing thing since at least this time last year, and according to Colby longer.

Those are all fair and debatable points. But by no means is any of that clear.
Except for probably cardio, I'll give that to you - though RDA's cardio has really only been tested in fights that he's been in the drivers seat for the entire time.
