I can't see how he won't fight smart. The way he dismantled Pettis was textbook game planning by RDA and his team. Pettis's kicks are MUCH more deadly than Conor's. Pettis finishes top guys with kicks both to the body and to the head. He couldn't do shit to RDA.Good good good .. seeing this only boosts my confidence in RDA. As long as RDA fights smart, he's got this!
Let's talk about bottom position. Pettis' guard is slick as butter. He submitted Bendo from bottom position with an armbar in less than second of their second fight. Pettis couldn't do jack shit underneath RDA. And Conor was begging Herb Dean for a "get out of jail free card" standup from under Mendes while Mendes was working! Herb himself (Mr. Zuffa Shill himself) told Conor, "I'm not standing it up. He's fighting. He's fighting. Do something."
All RDA's team has to train for is watch for the left straight. That is IT! The cat was out of the bag in the Aldo fight. There's no way Cordeiro is gonna allow RDA to go in there and rush him. Every bit of his fight favors RDA. There wasn't near the amount of time for Conor to try and get into RDA's mind. As soon as the fight was signed it had two months to happen. And Werdum is trolling Conor and basically doing RDA's light work. There's already a blueprint drawn up on how to beat Conor. He has massive amounts of holes in his game. Compared to RDA he's very one dimentional.
