Yeah it is weird. Lee looked like he typically does - fast start then run out of stream when he cannot put someone away.
RDA looked like a fighter who knew he had rounds and time to work with - while kevin was kevin - most of the fools who watched didn't notice the combined effects of Rafa stuffing all Lee's takedown attempts, the knees to the body (in particular), combined with the psychological wear of having the majority of his offence nullified.
Rafa stayed calm, weathered the bum rush from lee while putting in the work he needed in order to break down his opponent and finish him.
Lee was supposed to be the guy to challenge Khabib and so far it has not panned out the way things were planned.
