If RDA can't KO Colby, Colby awaits a long long night...

...of pummeling. Colby is really slow with his stand up, and I believe he will only gas out trying to wrestle a stocky guy like RDA. So we are looking either late round TKO or a dominant decision from RDA. In either case, Colby's face will look so terrible, his eyeglasses won't help him.

Would not be shocked if Colby was able to blanket RDA, but I am also picking RDA as well.

I think if it stays standing a KO for RDA will come sooner or later. 4th and 5th rounds especially favor him imo.

Colby 50-45

Hoping RDA whoops him soundly, but I also would not be shocked to see Colby put on a wrestling clinic.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Hoping that happens... but I expect Covington to go grind mode and get the decision. Plus the beef with Woodley would be interesting... the fight , doubt it.

Fixed. Dude will just lay on top with no passes and pitter patter gnp.

RDA has had problems against wrestlers in the past and Colby is the largest, most decorated amateur wrestler that he will have faced in the Octagon. I can’t understand why so many are writing Colby off in this fight. If anything this is his most favorable stylistic matchup in the top 5.

I struggle to see a clear path to victory for RDA.

What wrestlers? I only remember him having problems against Khabib

Guida, Jason High got him down three times in the first round of their fight and pre-USADA Gleison Tibau beat him via blanketing wall and stall. Colby is a bigger, more decorated wrestler than all of those guys.

 

[Sonny Qc]

Can't Wait for that beating.

Hope Woodley won't run from RDA after this.

 

[Kryptt]

As many have said, rooting for and hoping RDA seals the deal but I wouldn't be surprised if Cody grinds him out.

 

[Senzo Tanaka]

Considering how easily and badly Maia battered Colby in the first round of their fight before gassing, I expect nothing less of destruction from RDA. Colby isn't on that level. He got pushed to the top of the line because of his mouth and it's going to be satisfying seeing it shut.

 

[McBlaze]

hope your right... but i think colby gunna wrestle fuck rda 5 rounds of boredom. this shit should NOT be a title fight. itz pathetic.

 

[MysticCam]

Nerd bash

I agree but Colby needs to be humbled

Imagine Colby vs Woodley. Colby literally wouldn't be able to do a damn thing.

He can't out wrestle Woodley.

Can't out strike him since he has rudimentary, slow striking that heavily relies on the threat of the takedown, which would be nonexistent.

Has below average strike defense. Look how Maia tagged him in round one. Imagine Woodley exploding on him.

It would be glorious, but I don't think we ever see it happen.

Easiest win of RDA's career. Guaranteed
