RDA might've won round 4. Idk what you guys have been watching..same thing with that Holm decision. She lost the first round clearly. That was pure domination. Khabib vs Barboza like I said.

Sucks for Whittaker that even if he defeats the incredibly dangerous Yoel Romero for a second time, it won't count as a title defense.

RDA spent the majority of round 1 on his back lmfao. Holm was rocked in round 1. Learn the new rules. Effective striking or grappling trumps all.

on paper. I think most of us know that it is a title-defense regardless.

@analias but the good thing for him is back to back champion paychecks. That's the biggest benefit having the belt is the payraise

Well if Rob beats Romero again I don't see anyone challenging him for a while. He should go on a decent undefeated run.

lol yeah, but costa won't be ready for a while. I do believe he's the future champ though unless he pops and turns into a deflated condom after a suspension.

@massa

I'll tell you what I was watching.  I saw a guy in Covington who was eating 5 strikes before going into wall and stall and did nothing with his seven take downs on twenty three attempts. No LnP, no sub attempts, no passing to control position.  Nothing.  I also saw a guy in RDA, who for three to four rounds straight was hitting Covington with enough hard strikes to win rounds and outlanding him for almost all of the fight.  At the very worst you can argue a 3 rounds to 2 either way.  At best it is 4 rounds to 1 RDA.  Covington also looked massively gassed mid fight.  RDA won, imo.

Meh, covington won't beat Woodley. Which sucks, because I hate Woodley. He will work over Til and may or may not beat Usman.

Bruce you are basically just a run-of the mil rub-a dub. Can't handle your alcohol. The more piss you drink, the more ******** and obnoxious you get.

You need to lay off the turps, budgieguts.
