If they fought before RDA experienced his first WW loss
 
It wouldn't go well for T-Wood. RDA is one of the best pressure fighters in the UFC ever. And he has amazing cardio.

Here's a video of RDA unleashing 48 combos on Lawler without breaking a sweat.

 
Prime for prime? Twood by TKO.
Most non prime situations RDA by beat down
 
If Woodley landed the big overhand it would be over.

If he didnt, he would be in for a rough night.

Prime or not Woodley still has the same problem. Super low output and backing himself against the cage. Doing both of those things against RDA is suicidal.

Jake Shield beats him on the feet by just being more active, pressure him up against the fence, and clinching him whenever Woodley tries to lead or throw.
 
Woodley backs up to the cage and maybe throws 2-3 power shots per round, most likely missing all of them.
 
RDA was always a bad stylistic match up for T-Wood, the only real thing woodley had going for him in that matchup was an extra 10-15lbs of muscle.
 
Prime Woodley had unreal power and he landed on just about everyone. Even in the seemingly uneventful Wonderboy fights, he had a bunch of highlights where he was inflicting a lot of damage.

Lets not forget Woodley has lost to Usman, Covington, and Burns. The elite of the WW divsion, 3 absolute beast.

Coasting old man Woodley is still better than the majority of the guys in his division, and is very likely better than he's shown as of late.
 
RDA beats any version of Woodley

Tyron is dog shit against fighters who can pressure him (Hory, Usman, Colby, Burns even Nate in the last round when he started to move forward more). Look how clueless he looked in all those fights

Hes a deer in the headlights and gets backed up to the fence. And gets shut out and his limited offense and shit footwork exposed

Hes looked good against favorable outfighting matchups like Wonderboy and Till who dont pressure at all and fight from the outside or Maia who shoots TDs from 20ft away

Purime RDA had elite combos which he struggles with too. Tyrons right hand counter mostly works against pot shotting single sturike fighters. He was struggling with Condits combos too before his ACL blew out. RDA had good wrestling, much better clinch and far higher pace/cardio

RDA 50-45 all day
 
Prime, Woodley has a much better chance, his tendency to let himself get backed into the cage is way worse now and RDA is still a tough out even past prime, I don't think I've ever seen him get handled the way Woodley has in his last 3
 
How most RDA and Woodley fights go.

RDA pressuring, throwing volume, occasionally mixing in takedown attempts. Woodley standing with his back to the cage threatening to throw a big overhand right.
 
Basically asking who would win Woodley from the Till fight or Rafael Dos Anjos from the Lawler fight?

Not prime for prime but if it was their 2018 fight how would it go then.

RDA having been cracked by smaller competitors seems like it would work in Woodleys favor but obviously the styles are clearly made for RDA to overwhelm Woodley
