This is just sad, Lawler might be declining in skill also from all the wars and fight age, but not to take anything away from RDA that was amazing regardless.

Now 4 rounds in the bank for RDA.  Lawler really needs to let the hands to fly if he wants to get a win. He has no chance of getting a decision victory.

They need to stop the fight. Lawler's leg is too messed up. He's just gonna get hurt.

RDA dominating but Lawler shouldn't be counted out. He has the power and those blitzes

5 round clean sweep for RDA.  That was a one sided striking clinic.  With his ridiculous stamina, striking and grappling skills, he could easily make life for Woodley hell in a 5 round fight.

How tough is lawler though? That was slow but steady destruction. 50-45 imo. Now I really want to see RDA-Woodley.

It doesn’t go the same against woodley. He could make woodley gas but pressure fighters like rda will eat counters and woodley likes people walking into his power imo. I’ve he survives early he could finish him late I guess

RDA isn't even a small WW,when they came to the center before the fight he actually looked bigger than Lawler.What a crazy performance,I think RDA would outwork Woodley.Woodley hasn't had someone pressure him,he's been able to dictate the pace so he doesn't gas,that woudn't be possible imo vs RDA.Lawler looked like ****,he was flat and sloppier than normal,but of course some of that was RDA but he didn't look good.

I think I'm on the RDA train now as well, masterful performance, what he did to Lawler was nothing short of perfect and with that cardio+pressure he's going to give Woodley tons of problems.

Sadly this fight pretty much confirms the fact that Robbie is slowing down.

@Kuma It was a good run =D We can always go back to watch those epic Rory and Condit title defenses.

I have been away from regularly visiting these forums for a long time, but I am glad to see everyone finally getting in on the RDA train.

Love the trash talk from Colby. He has been calling RDA for a while. Hope the fight happens. Not sure if the UFC makes the fight though.
