I gave round 3 to RDA. Very effective that round.
Did Tony hurt his hands? He seems to be going for a lot of elbows.

I gave RDA the 3rd
Tony's cockiness is hurting him a little.

I missed most of that round. No idea who won it. Looking at the reply I'm guessing Ferguson did.
So its all tied up going into the last round.

Tony missed a lot in that last round. He may get the win, but I think it was a hell of a lot closer then Kenny and whoever that is are making it out to be. Listening to them, you would think Tony won every round.

I didn't think it was that close, RDA got punished. He landed but wasn't hurting Ferguson.

If Conor beats Eddie he should serious think about relinquishing the title if Tony is his next opponent. I think he would be a nightmare for Conor. He walks through power shots with relentless pressure and cardio.

I see Khabib ragdolling him doe.

Eddie, if I am remembering correctly can pressure guys well. He may not have the wrestling to consistently get a TD but he can hang on to Conor in order to tire him out, make him grapple, and finish/steal the later rounds. He does have to deal with Conor's power though which I still think translates to 155.

But one of his UFC fights he showed more of a game plan, more of a grinding type of fight. And he was very effective with it. If he can do that to Conor, I think Eddie can take this fight. And ofcourse Eddie can stand and bang and has a good chin.
Conor can win by KO at anytime, But I think his best chances are going to be in the 1st round.
Should be a very good fight

Ferguson is a stud. Would love to see him get the belt and to see match-ups against Nate or Cowboy. Dude is uber entertaining and will smash Eddie, should Eddie beat Conor. If Conor wins and announces retirement, and Khabib beats Johnson and doesn't get hurt, I expect Dana will announce Khabib vs Ferguson for the vacant belt. If there is one guy that can beat Ferguson (or anyone) its Khabib and his relentless pressure grappling.

RDA should have applied more pressure like he did with Pettis.
Giving Tony room to work was stupid.
Tony/Cowboy would be a good fight.

After the first Tony turned up the aggression and RDA couldn't hurt him enough to slow him down. When you hit someone with bombs, they just smile at you and keep coming forward it takes toll on you mentally.

When you hit someone with bombs, they just smile at you and keep coming forward it takes toll on you mentally. The first round is the only round RDA applied any pressure. RDA was landing nicely in the first when moving forward. Once RDA stopped moving forward and keeping the pressure Tony started opening up. RDA dominated taller guys like Pettis and Cowboy by keeping the pressure. He failed that gameplan after the first round. Don't get me wrong, Tony is good, but he's beatable with the right game plan.

Let's not forget that RDA was snapping Tony's head back all night.
Tony could not handle many of those from Conor.
These guys can only hope to out cardio Conor cause they aren't winning by trading for too long.

Didn't Tony get dropped by a nobody in his last fight before this one? Just sayin....

I was excited for RDA in the firat round. He should had kept that pressure all night. Not sure what happened, RDA didnt looked gassed. He just stopped pressuring.
I think a Conor/Tony fight will depend if Conor gasses out early.
