I think RDA will make adjustments and pull this off. One of the best to do it in my opinion

Rda is a great 5 round fighter , he’s def down on points but he’s always in the fight . Very hard guy to finish or to break

RDA is going to have to pull something out of the hat to win this one! #UFCSanAntonio
— Stephen Thompson (@WonderboyMMA) July 21, 2019
Not an exciting style to watch but it won for the cut from the elbow early on. Gotta put pressure on that guy. Go for broke and bring the fight to him.
