Who Deserves The WW Title Fight: Covington or RDA?

[Arkridge]

Colby Covington and Rafael dos Anjos are undoubtedly the two top contenders to Tyron Woodley's belt right now. Covington's latest win coming over Demian Maia and Rafael dos Anjos' last win coming over Robbie Lawler.

Both guys are campaigning to get title shots against Woodley, right now the picture is unclear as to which of the two will get the title fight. Who do you think deserves the title shot when Tyron Woodley returns post shoulder surgery?

Covington Win Streak: Max Griffin, Jonathan Meunier, Bryan Barberena, Dong Hyun Kim, Demian Maia

Rafael dos Anjos Streak: Tarec Saffiedine, Neil Magny, Robbie Lawler

RDA
100%

Both have solid cases for a titleshot.

Wouldn't care if either got the next shot or had to face each other for #1 contender.

I can assure you that RDA is winning this poll based on the universal hatred Colby has on here.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

That's a tough call for me.

I'd say Colby deserves it a little more, but I would WAY rather see RDA against Woodley.

RDA by far. His Lawler win was much more impressive than the Maia win.

You know your division is weak AF when a fighter like Colby Covington is in talks to get a TS

 

[jojoRed]

Thing is, Colby deserves it but RDA is a tougher matchup for Woodley.

A fighter whose on a 5 fight win streak with wins over DHK and Maia?

 

[RayA]

I wouldn't mind seeing them fight for the spot, but at the same time, both have enough for a shot and there's not really anyone else worthy of a shot atm.

RDA's last win is stronger than Colby's, but Colby is riding a better, longer streak.

I assume you've never seen him fight

Woodley actually said on Rogan's podcast that he feels Usman is the only one in the division he believes should fight for the title lmao. Usman is good but Woodley is delusional.

 

[SKITZADACTYL]

i'm gonna say colby because i dislike him and woodley would knock him the fuck out then he can finally fuck off.


or just feed colby to someone like till, usman, wonderboy, etc, so many dudes would embarrass that dork.


hell give him maia in a boxing match so he can get pieced up again lmao.

 

[Squall10]

Darren Till. More impressive than either fighter.

 

[LcBR]

RDA destroyed Robbie wich is a former champ,number 1 WW at the time and have won his last bout,Demian was a good win for Colby but the way he got it was'nt so impressive,in fact he had some difficults in the first round and we all knew before the fight that Maia was a good matchup for him...i believe RDA has a better case right now.

 

[Lay N Pray 101]

RDA, without a doubt.

i think woodley was just looking at skillsets, and i think he respects usman's skills and realizes how good the dude is.


obviously doesnt deserve a titleshot yet but he's getting there.

 

[GearSolidMetal]

Woodley VS RDA for the belt.

Colby VS Wonderboy for #1 contender.

 

[Defeat Unknown]

I believe RDA wanted some time off.

Also not sure how close Woodley is to being ready to fight.

I'd be ok with either, depending on who can fight sooner.

If Woodley wants to make claim to WW goat then line 'em up and knock 'em down. Fight both before summer.

Definitely. Usman is legit as fuck. He'll fight for a title late 2018 imo.
