News RDA vs Moicano (160 lbs catchweight) is on

[VinceArch]

Would've preferred RDA vs Islam but UFC gonna UFC

 

[Black0ut]

If your talking shit about RDA, please stfu.

Islam said let’s go, RDA said let’s do it and now RDA is fighting someone else.

Obviously RDA has the right to talk shit.

 

[Question]

I see a few comments being pissed about Islam not being the replacement in the comments under the tweet. Like why??
RDA/Moicano is much more competitive and will be a more entertaining fight with how their styles match up.

RDA would've been tailor made for Islam, especially on short notice. It doesn't do much for Islam and IMO would've been a wash out without much resistance against a out of prime RDA.

I mean, least it's something...I guess...

Because like it or not, Moicano has had a wholly unspectacular run so far. Not much of a personality to latch on to, good fighter but falls to the top guys, Not the most exciting but not the worst. Honestly He's fine but going from a guy with hype like Fiziev, and tons of bigger names publically wanting it, plumping for the guy who got knocked out by the guy he's replacing it pretty weak.

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

 

[93confirmed]

This is the only accetable reply. Of all the possible replacements...

 

[gaffbyknees2]

yawn this blows. How do we supposedly have two amazing replacement fights like Islam and Tony and we end up here? UFC sucks

 

[Johnnny]

Dana must be scared his russian mini khabib could possibly lose and ruin his russian hype trains chance for champ.

 

[chrisdiaz]

Stoked for this fight. This was the most entertaining of the matchups presented. I wouldnt be surprised if something happened the machachev is still on stand-by. Moicaino is still in brazil. Im just glad RDA gets to stay on the card. Be there live on saturday!

His last win he looked great in(Hernandez) and he puts on pretty good fights win or lose.
I do agree that Moicano's last defeat coming from Fiziez isn't the best look, but when you look at the matchup between RDA/Moicano it looks a lot more fun and intriguing than the Islam fight.

The fact that Gregor Gillespie didn't jump on this fight is a joke. His last chance will be to book Fiziev in the near future, if he doesn't do that, I don't know, the promotion may just cut him. He actually has no place in the promotion if he's not willing to...fight...

 

[Grandwizard666]

Did you guys actually expect the UFC to give us Islam or Tony??

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Props to Moicono for stepping in!

Was hysterical when he subbed that Bosnian dude then flipped the fuck out because he wanted to fight longer. <45>

Eh, this is better than Islam. Islam would just squash RDA. At least this will be a fight.

 

[TheScorpionDude]

Islam will fight in Khabib's org by next year. Mark my motherfucking words.

 

[markys00]

Well, he's got kids. Rda is a cool guy. And he has taxes to pay. Also, ppl need to know about some Olympic silver medalist cause Brazil doesn't care about sports.

 

[Raymundo Alvarado Guevara]

Well, It is a fight

Terrible take

 

[SteelEz]

And now you're gonna have goofs all over social media claiming Islam bailed lol...



This was entirely Dana & Shelby's doing. They won't wanna risk losing Islam fighting in Abu Dhabi later this year for the title. UFC wants that arab money!

Forget it bro Islam is not fighting for the title. They will wait for Dariush and make it happen next in Abu Dhabi and Conor is going to fight winner of Olives/Cheese
