The D (where it's so cold)
Cerrone wasn't defending himself. Only reason he got back to his feet was because Herb stopped it.
Yeah, it was over, Herb let him get punished for a good 20 seconds and Cowboy wasn't defending. I actually give Herb credit for not stopping it when Cowboy was against the cage I thought it was over then but Cowoby managed to briefly escape, that pressure RDA puts on is relentless.

but timing beats speed, precision beats power ::lupe:

Size, Iron chins, wrestling, brutal leg kicks, and smothering top control trumps all that shyt. Don't get me wrong Connor has proven us wrong time and time again, but I doubt he really wants any part of RDA. High risk/low reward fight against a relatively unknown fighter(to casuals)

Essentially this.

Conor's got a punchers chance, just like everyone in this sport but RDA is just too big for him, which negates all the advantages that Conor has in FW. The size advantage is what allows MCG to bully and walk down his opponents but against a guy like RDA, MCG has to fight a much more methodical and slow paced fight and counter the fukk out of him (something which he excels in).

Like I said, MCG definitely has a punchers chance and with his slick countering and punching power, he can pull it off but I just think RDA is too big and strong for him.

I know one thing but it would be an amazing fight for sure.

i'm a cowboy stan but i didn't think he'd win that fight so that wasn't surprising at all. that diaz/johnson fight was dope...i wasn't expecting nate to look that good. and i thought junior was gonna catch overeem but dude just wasn't pulling the trigger on him and let alistair work his game plan easy. olivera ran through too jury, that guy is badass.
