No such thing as an RDA fan. They are literally just Conor haters who have supported all of his opponents.
Exactly. RDA couldn't even finish Nate Diaz a year ago when Diaz hadn't trained, was sick, was injured, missed weight and was only in it for the paycheck. I was at that event and I assure you Conor would have finished him in the first round. RDA is all hype.

Just looking at the numbers closely. Numbers don't lie. RDA has finished only 6 of his 32 fights. FACT. Conor is not about to lose to a point fighter.

Correction. Only 6 finishes in 19 UFC fights (less than 33% finishing rate). Typed a little to fast. Take a look at the numbers yourself.

P
Pettis lost to Guida for crying out loud and would again with a rematch. If Henderson isn't overrated why did he run away to the welterweight division, then to Bellator? He's running scared from all the losses he would've finished his career on. Henderson is an incredible athlete, but an overrated fighter at an overrated camp.

What I do know, if Conor face plants RDA like he did Aldo, Sherdog will explode almost as bad as it did when Ronda got decapitated.

Even an unmotivated Diaz is probably one of the tougher outs in MMA. Who, not named Josh Thomson, has stopped Nate in the past five years? And he's been in there with some real tough dudes like Rory, Henderson, DHK, RDA, Cerrone, etc.
Fight was dominant in RDA's favor. Don't really see the problem with couldn't finish him. He made Nate look ineffectual and Nate typically (outside of the Thomson, Henderson, and Rory fights) really doesn't look ineffectual even in defeat.
THe hilarious story from that fight is what RDA said Nate was saying to him when he was slapping him in the face when Dos Anjos was in top position. Dos Anjos basically noted that Nate was slapping him and saying, "You wanna be the champ?! Submit me! How you gonna be the champ if you can't sub me?!"
pretty damn funny especially considering I think every one of us can picture Nate saying that.

Your sentiments regarding Benson are a massive load of steaming shit.

Oh and LSU I very much disagree with RDA is all hype. Cerrone got stomped and look at Cerrone's run prior to that
Evan Dunham, Adrian Martins, Barboza, Jim Miller, Eddie Alvarez, Myles Jury, Ben Hendo (probably shouldn't have won that one but still, competitive fight), John Makdessi- not a slouch among that group and a couple of very good fighters in there.
RDA made him look like he didn't belong and took him out in short order.
Pettis may have a glaring weakness, but even the fighter who exploit that weakness tend to not look good in victory over him. Guida won but had minimal offense and had to mainly play defense in the guard. Alvarez narrowly took a win and neither guy could get much done.
But RDA dominated Pettis over five rounds. He landed nasty shots on the feet that would have probably crumbled a guy without Pettis' damn good chin and he easily put him on the ground and dominated him there.
Also, in what world is tko'ing Ben Henderson not a major accomplishment?

Are you sure. I'm pretty sure RDA has double that amount of finishes...Arinelli, Oliveira, de Oliveira, Minu, Serza, Cherman, Hirayama, Etim, G-sot, Shalorus, High, Henderson, Cerrone.

Shallow? More like featherweight is shallow. So Conor is mostly hype, got you. Other than Frankie Edgar who is there? Keep smoking on your peace pipe and looking at pictures of Daniel Craig.

It's a direct response to all the bitch ass Conor haters pretending they're RDA fans and shitting on Conor.
