After yesterday? I must admit Conor was putting together some nasty combo's in the first round and early in the second and i'm not sure RDA would have been able to take it like Nate did!!!..but then on the other hand perhaps RDA would have been more inclined to take it to the ground much more than Nate was!!!..no doubt though RDA's confidence should be boosted by what happened to Conor.
 
Yes, to an extent. I do think Cloner is dangerous, but his power didn't translate against a natural 155'er and Cloner's chin isn't traveling well either. Nate didn't really put it on Cloner until mid-way through the second and when he did, Cloner gassed against the cage after being rocked by a straight left and a jab from a guy without any KO power.

RDA is going to be all over him like white on rice in their fight. He's a tank with a ton of cardio, something Cloner apparently had issues with last night as well. In reality, I thought Cloner was going to do better before last night. Now, I can definitely see ways that RDA can win this fight much clearer.

All that said, RDA needs to fight smart and not run into that left hand. It could still hurt him.
 
RDA would got through Conor like a buzzsaw.
 
Yes.

RDA would end it in the first round, as oppose to the second.

Agreed. If he can avoid that power shot and drain Mcgregor's tank a little, I think Mcgregor better bring his lunch bucket cause it's going to be a long night with RDA on top.
 
No.

Because Conor fought Nate Diaz and not RDA

Nope. I said from day one that RDA would murder Conor.

I also picked Diaz over Conor and said it would be like Gomi-Nick Diaz all over again.

There is a world of difference between fighting FWs and fighting LWs.

RDA is a much tougher matchup for Conor than Nate
 
No.
Stoppage on the third: RDA dominates the cage, those clinches will become ground-rapes.

Again: shertards decided that out-of-shape Diaz is Conor's kryptonite. This is nonsense: RDA runs through both of them.
 
No, I always thought RDA would run through Conor pretty quickly. We will most likely never know now though.
 
Conor McGregor it's better to stay at featherweight division because this is my division men, it's going to be easy money.
 
I thought RDA would whoop Conor before. My opinion has not changed.
 
Going into the fight I thougth Conor could do it. I was 50/50. After last night I would favor RDA more but the question still lingers if RDA could eat those shots from Conor. I just can't see him RDA running into a fist head first like Aldo. I think RDA takes him out. Styles make fights and I think Nate was a bad match up for him. Conor will bounce back for sure and hopefully we will get to see him face RDA in the future.
 
Pre 196 I believed that RDA would finish Conor inside of 5 rounds, my belief was simply reaffirmed a bit.
 
RDA will destroy him in the clinch, with the amount of spinning kicks Conor misses it will be easy to tie him up.
 
My opinion didn't change because I have always thought RDA would obliterate Conny. I don't even think Conny can hold the belt against Edgar at 145, screw messing around with a beast like RDA.
 
My only concern with RDA is he wouldn't have the reach and height advantages that Nate had and thus would have to exchange way more in the pocket...which plays into Conor's game.
 
Not one bit,

RDA by bulldozer. Check my post history. It's a terrible fight for Conor.

So because Nate finished Conor inside of 2 rounds, and because Nate got dominated by RDA, you conclude that RDA would slaughter Conor.

Yet Conor finished Aldo in 13 seconds while Aldo cruised to an easy UD against Edgar... But you conclude Edgar can beat McGregor.

That's called conflicting logic.
