I´m a huge fan of RDA. The man is a hard worker and a true warrior. And he's been champion in the deepest division in the UFC.
Lee's game is bad for him this weekend I know, but maybe he can pull if off with superior striking, volume and cardio. War RDA!

He really took it to Pettis.

I remember thinking Pettis was gonna walk all over him.

RDA ended up giving Pettis a life changing beating.
 
His run from the Benson to the Cerrone fights was incredible. He’s had some tough stylistic matchups but I’d like to see him rebound against Lee.
 
RDA vs Pettis will always be one of the best MMA performances ever.
 
I wish he was still at Kings MMA but he will always be one of my favorite fighters!

I also remember thinking RDA would walk through Eddie but god damn.

To be honest, I really do think RDA wins that fight 9/10 times, not to crap on Eddie or anything.
 
although im a mcnugget fan and i really wish in another universe rda never pulled out, fought conor and beat him. then conor stayed in fw and became the fw goat. buuuuut we all knew how that ended <DCrying>
 
Credit where it's due I thought Cerrone, Bendo, and Pettis would all beat him. He should get more credit for being the WEC slayer after we learned WEC actually had the best lws not the ufc.

The way all that played out was shocking at the time. I was a big wec fan and used to argue on here that wec lws were on par with the ufc. People called me a newb but look how that turned out
 
My current favourite fighters. He is always willing to test himself and trying to improve. He had some ups and downs but he always comes back. He is coming for that WW belt sooner or later. War RDA!!!
 
Will never forgive him for training like a fool and allowing Nate Diaz to step in and become relevant again. And bring Diaz fans back from hiding.
 
one of my favourites

remember thinking his fight with Bendo would be close then booooooom (although the stoppage was a tiny bit early he still fucked his shit up)
 
Though he clearly lost he had a fair amount of luck defending Colby's and Usman's takedowns. I think he has a very good chance of doing the same and gassing Lee out over two rounds.
 
He looked pretty damn good up until June of 2015... Those 4 losses after June of 2015 were pretty rough
 
One of my favourite fighters to watch, his streak with the only loss to Khabib was crazy. He's been given big wrestlers and has lost cos his pressure heavy game makes it a bad style match up but he's always game.

If he fought Conor and the fight went past 2-3 mins Conor would have taken a life altering beating

Well he almost died during the weight cut and it should not have gone forward. That played a big part in not being able to handle shots like he normally does.
