Why do I think Colby beats RDA?

[Sansnom]

because he talks much and is cocky.
people actually think lee will beat barboza. why ? barboza says nothing while lee is acting cocky and talking much about beating up barboza.
so people think lee is the better fighter.

But Lee will beat Barboza...

Colby is the present best, woodley is just delaying the inevitable and RDA is just collateral damage

Santos is undefeated in the UFC and has wins over Martin's and Tony Martin, no shame in losing to that guy.

Lee is super chinny though -- he's fucked if he can't get Barboza down early, but I think he will

He's a WW Ryan Bader with Chael Sonnen level self-promotion skills.

Can he beat RDA? Yes (don't strongly favor either of them).

Does that make him special? No.

I question him being "WW Ryan Bader", but saying his self-promotion skill is on par with Chael is just BS. He is nowhere near Chael.

 

[ixRanGzeNxi]

Because he’s a winner, plain and simple. MMA fans tend to live in the past also. Everyone still thinks it’s 2015 and RDA is hot shit for beating Pettis and Cerrone.

They also still think beating Lawler in 2017/18 is the same as beating him in 2014/15.

Colby is the present best, woodley is just delaying the inevitable and RDA is just collateral damage

What makes Colby the "best"? Who has he beat that's worth a mention more than RDA's wins over Pettis/Bendo/Lawler/Diaz??

Demian Maia. Are you really gonna pretend any of those guys except Lawler would beat Maia at 170?

And Maia likely strangles Lawler if they fought this year

Oh...so Colby has one win over like a 40-year old BJJ specialist, who happened to out-strike him and bust his face up. That counts as a "big win" when RDA beats (former) LW Champs and WW Champ and it's "nothing". Hahaha Sure.

Also, you're clearly dumb if you think the aforementioned guys not being able to beat Maia makes any point. None of the guys that Colby beat could beat Antonio Silva...so does that mean Antonio Silva is a better fighter than Colby? Yes, he is...but that doesn't prove the point.

There's something about this guy. I can't put my finger on it.

If he can take him down and stay dealing out damage in dominate wrestling positions he wins. RDA has better standup overall and is still a threat with a possible sub.

 

[Deleted member 436105]

I expect Colby to wrestle him but lose the championship rounds and possibly get finished

It's all his instagram pictures and stories you've been swooning over got you thinking he's legit. <Lmaoo>

LMAO. What a stupid ass point.

And Lawler would crush Maia. His takedown defense is still top notch last i checked

There's nothing mysterious about Covington...he's a solid fighter who has legitimately climbed the ranks to near the top. Not sure what you can't figure out. And RDA has lost to elite-level fighters before. He's not invincible.

I think Colby prefers your finger in it...

 

[Legendary]

Colby's only chance is LnP wrestlefuck. RDA is ALOT better in every aspect of the game except wrestling.

Lawler Top notch takedown defense? Donald Cerrone says otherwise

 

[jonnyboy316]

I feel fairly confident RDA takes this one
