Who's the bigger fighter, RDA or Colby??

[brian]

Colby said on embedded that he's 181lbs, Colby is definitely taller, at 6ft, while RDA is 5'8.5, but i think their size is pretty close. Are they a similar size or do you think Colby will be alot bigger come fight night?

RDA... The former UFC champion.

Remind me who Colby has beaten and what he's achieved again...?

 

[TriangleMonkey]

Colby should wrestle any size talk right outta the fight, early and often.

 

[Thesnake101]

RDA might be thicker, but Colby is used to manhandling dudes at 170, so even if he's at a size disadvantage I don't think it'll play that big of a factor.

 

[Sterling]

Rda might be heavier but I don't see it making a difference, Colby will have no problem moving him around

 

[Fergelmince]

Easily Nate Diaz

Maia is a pretty big win

Beat top 5 Maia
Beat 22 - 4 Stun Gun who has won 8 of his last 10
Beat 14-4 Max Griffin who just beat Platinum Perry

Colby is 8-1 in the UFC on a 5 fight win streak. By UFC standards, he should be on his third title shot.

Maia is a pretty big win

I mean in my head Maia's a super overrated and one-dimensional gatekeeper, and has been over 2 divisions for the last 10 years without ever really improving...

But it is still a reasonably big name... Not quite UFC gold, but its a start.

For me Stun Gun is the only name on that list worth a mention - Maia is massively overrated, Griffin is ok, but still nowhere near a victory to tell the grandkids about.

Im not saying Colby is terrible, just that comparing a fresh contender to a former champ is silly.

Maia was on a tear but he was getting older at the same time and not evolving or adapting at all. Covington fought Maia at a good time, when his name value was still high but he was fading also stylistically it was a great matchup. So overrated now but he had a good run.
RDA has been grapple****ed before although that was Khabib and its been four years. So I am concerned Covington could blanket him to a decision. It's still War RDA though all day.

RDA is thick as hell at WW.He was much thicker than Lawler and he's not tiny.

With that fighting style, I dont know how he has the fans he does.

It's weird - Fitch was a way better fighter in his day but git canned for being boring fight after an FOTN loss... Colby literalky inly cares to lie on someone, yet he's Dana's newest darling because of social media.

I hate 2018.
