Colby is good but..

[greenhawk]

1. He cant beat Woodley
2. He can talk trash as much as he wants but he can never be a draw with his wall n stall style
3. RDA took him down at will, an offensive wrestler like Khabib would eat him alive
Decent fighter , a legit top 3 but nothing special.

his striking is lazy and slopping. Just throwing whatever to set up for take down's. Woodley would easily drop him

3. Wrong

Just win MFer.

 

[Usssssyyyy]

Rda fought like an idiot

It’s the first time I’ve seen him fight and meh

The Woodley fight will be very interesting cause he's gonna fight a great wrestler. But a guy with way more power and better striking.

At will?

But RDA didn't take him down at will. He landed two opportunistic takedowns and then Colby stuffed subsequent attempts.

RDA showed poor fight IQ there but that doesn't change the fact that Colby was taken down by a striker 2 times.

The one thing I hate about MMA is that during all of the training I have seen the fighters do in person and on video, they have constant pressure and movement, striking, etc...and then they step in the cage and it's one, two step, kick..repeat..as if they are doing a dance. Why train as if you are going to war and then not go all out every minute. So anytime a fighter moves forward as much as possible the whole time, throwing, going for a take down or whatever..they have a fan in me. He's a little sloppy with the hands, a little sloppy with his trash talking (excellent on twitter, not so much on camera) and he is testing his chin a too much for my taste..that will probably be his downfall. But I appreciate his effort and that wasn't boring at all imo

Ok I said Colby would win but I thought it would be more dominate 5 round wins. I thought Colby would get takedowns more easy and have more of a top game but it was just a clinch game that was it not much damage or fighting. At least now woodley have to fight someone, lol he just tried to call out Conor again, sorry woodley you'll have to fight a the man the Interim belt.

RDA is one of the most well rounded fighters in the UFC. Calling him just a striker is doing him a disservice. If he was just a striker Colby would have ragdolled him.
