Would RDA have fallen?

[Calipwnia]

Those were some big shots Nate ate in Round 1. I can see most FW falling but the Diaz bros are especially tough. I think RDA might have been dropped.

 

[Towney007]

Nah. I picked RDA to win initially although I wasn't 100% confident about it. Having watched what Nate did to Conor, I'm not sure Conor would have lasted much longer. RDA has a *beard* and I've got not reservations about his ability to get Conor to the mat.

 

[NotSoSure]

This is the new myth in sherdog. Had it been RDA, Conor would win.

The difference between RDA or Nate? In the first clinch, RDA smothers Conor against the fence and brutalizes to a stoppage. That's the difference.

RDA absorbs the damage and wins on the ground easy.

I don't thinks so, after seeing Conor buckle from that Diaz 1-2 how do you think he would have taken RDA's power punches/kicks ?
RDA mauls him wherever the fight goes

RDA doesn't strike as straight as Nate. Power doesn't matter if they don't land

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

RDA has a strong kicking game to the leg and body, deadly knees in the clinch, good enough wrestling to take conor down, heavy top pressure, brutal g-n-p, submission threat, never ending conditioning.

Also, ate flush kick from pettis and kept coming foward.

Outside of RDA pulling an Aldo I think not.

More like conor is tko within 2 or quits on his stool after 3 rounds of being brutalized.

If the fight never got scrapped, I think we would have had a new lightweight champion.

RDA has shown all the signs of gotten to (hence, his twitter posts).

It was going to take a guy with "I don't give a F***" attitude to put down McGregor's aura, and that's what just happened.

 

[Akabignasty]

No.

 

[sharkcat]

I don't know. RDA has a good chin, but he's been KO'd before. Who knows.

 

[Russie]

RDA would've ate them dished it back to him.

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

I don't know. RDA has a good chin, but he's been KO'd before. Who knows.

And conor got rocked by a guy not known for power - hurt to the body with 1 knee as well.

He is very lucky it was nate instead of RDA. And we too. Watching a prison rape is no fun for anyone.
