Squeezing RDA is the best RDA (RDA sucks backfoot although it’s not much of a comparison).

RDA with first combat removal. This is what I expected from the Brazilian. # UFCVegas14

Bisping continues and talks about how sharp a felder is when Paul eats 5 straight punches and gets taken down. # UFCVegas14

A very competitive battle yet! RDA looks strong in wrestling and Paul is quick to fire his hits. # UFCVegas14

Fun 1. Fielder looks sharp for Camp Zero but RDA outperforms him. And we have 4 more! # UFCVegas14

The fight was only in the middle of the cage for a few seconds, but Fielder immediately began to get better. It looks like he needs to keep it there.

Serious question: When was the last time a disappointing lightweight major event happened in the UFC?

Paul isn’t ready for retirement looks great

Fielder has slipped 0-2 so far but still looks sharp and dangerous. Great fight from both men so far.

RDA hits his double leg attempts because his head is on the wrong side.
That’s it.

Raphael Dos Angus offers 30-27 through three rounds in # UFCVegas14 The main event.
I think a lot of people have forgotten how good the RDA is at the lightweight. It is a monster. # UFCVegas14

The RDA finds more success with its takedowns in every round. It mixes his strikes and entries nicely too. Fielder defends well but will need to finish.

Rafael dos Anjos has just become the second fighter in history to pass 7 hours of total UFC cage time. He joins Frankie Edgar. # UFCVegas14

Fielder needs to finish here but damn it if you don’t think he’s just the guy looking for something and finding one! Though, hard work against a legend! # UFCVegas14 Embed a Tweet

3-1 RDA for me to go to st. 5. Buckets of respect for each of these headlines.

This fight is very good. And Wilder is legit as one of the toughest humans alive.
Brett Okamoto (@bokamotoESPN) November 15, 2020
Felder’s curse is difficult. It takes powerful shots and doesn’t even flinch. Hitting it pretty good, too. Everything seems to take someone’s head.

Dang What a fight threw RDA and Felder!

Great fight, always bittersweet when you have two really good people and great fighters but I loved RDA’s reign as a hero and I wouldn’t mind seeing him again. I feel felder would have gotten a rematch if that happened, too. # UFCVegas14
