I consider myself a fan of RDA. I admit, it wasn't until he KO'd GSot that I got behind him though. We all hop on board a bandwagon at some point or another. I always disliked GSot, Nate Diaz and Anthony Pettis and RDA fucked all three of them up, so he sealed it for me. Beating Bendo and Cerrone the way he did only validated to me how seriously badass this dude really is. Everything came together for him.
People always wanna talk about his losses 6 and 7 years ago but that was before King's MMA, Master Cordeiro and Nick Curson got ahold of him. He was always a fringe top 10-15 guy, but once he found the training that worked for him, it was a whole different story entirely. I think he beats Khabib in the rematch. Call me crazy, I don't care. It's no worse than thinking Conor has a snowball's chance in hell at 170 like his fanboys think.
