Not asking if he will, but CAN Rafael Dos Anjos beat Tyron Woodley?

[VIPERdude]

Seems like Dana White is sure RDA is next for the title.

I think the performance RDA had at 170 was impressive against a bomber like Robbie. Granted Lawler was hurt, RDA still showed his gas tank for 5 rounds is there. He has the tools to fight anywhere. He will definitely make Tyron engage and fight.

Thoughts?

No chance in hell

 

[Breaking]

He will make Woodley really fight.


And he’ll regret it...

 

[Rider1]

Easy

 

[Arm Barbarian]

He could out-hustle TWood, for sure. He has a much more busy arsenal than Tyron.

But - He will have to fight a flawless fight, defensively. One bomb from Woodley could shut his lights out.

 

[Lay N Pray 101]

Yes he most certainly can. RDA will back Woodley up against the cage and force him to fight. Could be a good or bad thing for RDA. This is the next fight that needs to happen at WW.

Good thing Woodley doesn't throw a lot of bombs these days.

Usually one per round. lol

 

[Viking Power]

Pretty impressed with his fight vs. Robbie even prior to the injury so, yeah, I give him a chance.

 

[KantoTerror]

He can...If he can dominate Lawler...he can...Tyron got a clean shot at Lawler in their fight...Imagine if he didn't and it was a scrap.

Tyron has the striking output of a journeyman heavyweight fighter. It's sad, but it's good that he has power at the very least.

 

[TrevorLahey]

I think it's a great match up, both are short for the division with the thick frame, they have similar strengths but I think it may come down to who has the better chin and that's a tough one to judge. I'd rather RDA win as I hate Woodley for his ranting about racism and his entitlement as champ but I think Woodley most likely wins this one.

 

[High Altitude]

Only if rda is on point and Tyron has a bad night.

 

[gotBooched]

Can in the sense that sure anything is possible.

Highly unlikely. He’s gonna be dwarfed

 

[Nightwish]

He can and he will. T-Wood will break to the pressure of a man on a mission.

WAR RDA!!!

 

[Terpizzle]

He sure can... if T-Wood tears his ACL before the fight

agreed, RDA will join the belt in 2 dif weight class club

 

[Filthy Phil]

If RDA manages to keep it on the feet and pressure Tyron with diverse attacks and feints he has a good chance. He'll still be a clear underdog though - Tyron has dynamite in his hands and he's very accurate.

 

[JackSchtotll]

Woodley will win, barring something unusual.

 

[KantoTerror]

IMO...leg kicks by RDA can put Tyron in trouble...that being Tyron doesn't land some bombs as he throws one leg kick.
