My prediction is that RDA takes McGregor down easily at the beginning of each round and destroys McGregor.

As for the fight, I could easily see your prediction coming true and this one looking a lot like RDA-Pettis.
However, McGregor's got more power than Pettis IMO, especially in his hands, and he's damn accurate. He's certainly capable of shutting RDA's lights out, but will be interesting to see if he can deal with the wrestling and top control. Mendes is a better pure wrestler than RDA, but his top game and overall size is nothing compared to him.

As for this fight, it's such a close fight, but I've doubted Conor enough, he gets this done.

It is flat out greed, 100%. McGregor's biggest challenge stands right before him at FW, the man who's been calling him out all along (you know, the one who deserves it). Nevertheless, I almost hope Conor beats RDA because Frankie's got a bead on him and fire in his eyes. To see Edgar return to LW and take the 155lb strap from McGregor--exposure will never be sweeter.

I do agree however, that it'll be ... let's say challenging ... for Conor when they are against the fence and if/when RDA does get Conor down, but I'm pretty sure with how aggressive and open RDA is that Conor will have all he needs to end the fight.
Not saying easy fight, but I don't think it's that hard to see what Conor brings to this fight nor am I doing so because the UFC have "convinced me Conor is a god". I haven't bought into a UFC promo since forever. It's just the way I see their styles clash. I can see this fight going either way, depending on how Conor lands in the first round. The longer the fight is, the more "top time" RDA will have and the less sting Conor will have. Footwork won't keep you on your feet for the whole 25 and I find it hard to see Conor shaking RDA off him for more than one or two "sessions".
Not everyone who likes Conor is a bandwagoner "believeing the hype", behind all the bells and whisltles you have to admit he's also a pretty unique and spectacular fighter.

Honestly, I'm a big believer in Conor, but it reminds me a bit of BJ Penn fans during his heyday.
He is an amazing fighter, but sometimes the narrative spun by Penn's fan base clashed with reality and really put me off regarding HOW good he actually was.
Conor is great, but he's got weaknesses. I don't pretend those don't exist like some of his fans (many) do.
For years, I was a Penn hater, until I realized I didn't hate Penn, but rather the vocal fanbase he had.
