RDA latest Instagram after decision loss to Colby Covington.

• rdosanjosmmaHey guys
  
  I want to thank you all for the messages and the support. I am a very competitive guy and I confess I never know how to handle defeat. I did my best inside the octagon, I had the support of the best coaches in the world. The result was not mine, but nothing will make me give up. I am a challenge driven guy and this is just another one in my way. In 2014, after the fight against Khabib, I worked very hard, and with God’s blessing, 11 months later I became the Lightweight champion. This time it won’t be any different. I got the chance to fight for the interim belt after only three fights in the welterweight division. My path in this weight class has just started. I know what I am capable of, I know what I can achieve. I won’t give up my dreams because of the first obstacle in this division. Now it’s time to see what did not work, improve, and get back to my path to the top. God knows everything. Bad guys win sometimes in real life, but at the end, the good guys always win. You can lose the battle, but never the war. Thank God I have the best friends and family I could ask for. I’ll be back soon stronger than ever. You’ll see!

I had no idea colby could do that to RDA.

 

[hot carl]

Tough not to dig that dude.

I wish him all the best

 

[GOATER]

wtf is he talking about?

 

[AimedWithV]

Evil can overcome good at some moments in life, but in the end, good always wins.

Evil, evil Colby!!!!

78

Stays positive, makes no excuses, and can admit he has trouble with defeat.

Hespect.

 

[joeyjoejoe]

No excuses just needs to get back to work, nothing but respect for RDA.

 

[Sonny Qc]

Boy was I wrong about that fight...

 

[truthisfreedom]

I had no idea colby could do that to RDA.

I had no idea RDA was that small compared to Colby. Looked like 2 different weight classes in there.

 

[HomeRun916]

RDA is the athlete we deserve.

Absolute class act. Can’t wait to see him fight again.

 

[Cooliox]

You could see how the size disadvantage hurt him.

Moving up a weight class against strikers and BJJ guys doesn't pose as much of a problem as moving up to fight against wrestlers... and Colby is a div 1 wrestler.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

RDA all class.

No sour grapes.

Just back to the drawing board to get better.

 

[Enigma87]

That loss has to sting like no other

Must really suck losing to Colby after all the shit he talked about RDA and his country

 

[Mixfight]

I knew RDA was going to lose.

The guy has 10 losses and everyone was acting like he was going to walk in there and destroy Colby.

Nah fam. Guys with 9 losses find ways to lose fights theyre supposed to win.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

The guy is legit... One loss at 170. Just get back in the gym and work on improving...

 

[Haj01]

RDA just got overwhelmed by Dolby's pressure. I think RDA is the more skilled fighter and he could win a rematch should he gameplan and approach the fight in a different manner.

 

[fractal]

Lol at good guys win at the end.

 

[Gabe]

Yet if Colby lost everyone would be shitting on him. Pretty bad performance from RDA, he just let Colby control him all night.

 

[Cojopi Extomino]

It's ok RDA, most of us were expecting a fight, not a "run your opponent into the fence and hold him" contest. So you didn't lose any fight fans on this one. Respect.

You could see how the size disadvantage hurt him.

Moving up a weight class against strikers and BJJ guys doesn't pose as much of a problem as moving up to fight against wrestlers... and Colby is a div 1 wrestler.

RDA was bigger than Colby on fight night. If anything Covington was at a size disadvantage.
