I like RDA and was tempted to pick him, but Tibau is just too much of a monster.

I think Tibau will wear him down against the cage and grind him on the ground for the 1st round, then submit him in the second.

 @fresno, That's what I was thinking, but it think Dos Anjos will be too hard to submit so I'll go tibau by dec

RDA does have power though. Still Tibau should prove to be too much for him. Hopefully.

Close round but I gotta favor Tibau because of the ability to stand up and he clipped RDA at the end of the roud
