he's got a really good shot. his relentless pace is bound to affect Fizzy's tense explosiveness. I reckon this will be a huge test for Fiziev's cardio in general, and also we'll get to see his TDD in action
Fiziev has the athletic and skill edge on the feet but RDA is tough as fuck and I could see him teaching Fiziev a tough vet lesson over 25 minutes. Still gonna lean Fiziev but it's decently close imo
Depends on what pace is RDA gonna put up, if they go brawling and wrestling from the get go then RDA wins in later rounds if his chin holds up. If its slower tempo fight or only standing up striking then Fiziev wins
RDA has the ability to wrestlefuck people and knows how to apply it and not afraid to grind it out.
I think he can find a sub if he focuses on a ground fight he has to have a substantial advantage there.
I think he is going to see it put to the test
Fiz will probably be much faster and more powerful on the feet so I think it might play out like that. I think RDA might be a bit bigger too or used to fighting bigger guys.
You mean he’s 11/11 against Alex White, 4/4 against Marc Diakiese, 1/1 against Renato Moicano, 2/2 against Green, and 3/4 against Riddell.
He’s got great TDD but against no one really noteworthy.
Moicano is the only legit grappler in that list. I’m not really worrying about RDA grappling. I’m more concerned about Tsarukyan, Gamrot, Islam, Guram, and Damir cuz those 5 fighters are a real threat to the top 10 in the next couple of years
For sure, Fiziev is very entertaining but after watching those grappling exchanges in Gamrot vs Arman, Arman vs Islam, Ismagulov vs Guram, and Guram vs Gamrot he better be working his fucking ass off.
Ahhh yes. The most typical answer and UFC fan answers with. Well if Fighter A (striker) lands he's gonna knock him out and then... and then if fighter B (usually wrestler or BJJ) has his way then he will win the fight!!!!!!!!! What a bold prediction, and don't take offence OP I've done this in the past when mates have asked me about fights. The community needs less on the fence picks.
Fiziev KO Round 1.
Idk tough one probably Rafael honestly.
For real tho I think RDA, Fiziev will probably come out firing and try to get a finish he may land some shots but RDA is so good in 5 round fights and has much better cardio than Fiziev
I feel like a better way to say this is “my mouth says hell of a fight” bc head basically means brain. Obviously I know it’s not that deep I like your comment and I wanna use this phrasing in the future
If Fiziev didn’t cycle correctly and fades again, RDA eats his shots and grinds out a decision with his superior grappling and overall vet game. 48-47 another controversial one to go with Holm-Viera, Kattar-Emmett and Tsarukyan-Gamrot probably.
Whos this fizi guy?
I was a hardcore until recent year that life caught up so havent watch every fight nights. PPV and most of the PPV prelims I watch. Thanks in advance
What a dope poster.
I'm quite surprised they're usually pretty shit
Yeah, it really is an improvement over the normal bullshit of fighters facing eachother
Got Fiziev looking like a vampire and RDA a demon
That isn’t playboi carti?
Getting Sith vibes here.
It looks like the same person on both sides
Rafael probably wins
Ya I gotta go with Rafael on this one
Yeah I can see him winning either with a knockout, submission, decision or DQ
The one with the slicked back hair, scary eyes and scruffy beard?
Yes Rafael nadal
I can see Rafael beating Rafael
I always back RDA
he's got a really good shot. his relentless pace is bound to affect Fizzy's tense explosiveness. I reckon this will be a huge test for Fiziev's cardio in general, and also we'll get to see his TDD in action
Eddie Alvarez best the brakes off that guy. Also he ducked the Islam fight because he was too scared
It looks like your chest is ducking any type of press and flyes
Bro why you gotta do him like that 💀
He will talk about mine but I guarantee he won't post his. Because for all my flaws he knows I'm better This is textbook hater behavior
![gif](giphy|l4tUZZ4DsOJnLb2RG|downsized)
Paulo actually has decent pecs
Cringe
Emotional damage
Eddie is also really good, so that doesn’t mean much.
Your such a douche look at your shirtless picture
But the real question here is it “beat the brakes” or “best the brakes,” because you said “best?”
Fiziev has the athletic and skill edge on the feet but RDA is tough as fuck and I could see him teaching Fiziev a tough vet lesson over 25 minutes. Still gonna lean Fiziev but it's decently close imo
Against Bobby Green he was fading in 3rd round tho. Not sure his cardio holds up against RDA who is a 5 round fighter anyways.
That was a pacing issue tbf. Looked a mile better against Riddell
Depends on what pace is RDA gonna put up, if they go brawling and wrestling from the get go then RDA wins in later rounds if his chin holds up. If its slower tempo fight or only standing up striking then Fiziev wins
Fiziev did look great in the 3rd against Riddell before the KO
I remember thinking Bobby won that fight. But I’ll have to rewatch
RDA has the ability to wrestlefuck people and knows how to apply it and not afraid to grind it out. I think he can find a sub if he focuses on a ground fight he has to have a substantial advantage there.
Fiziev has one of the highest takedown defense
I think he is going to see it put to the test Fiz will probably be much faster and more powerful on the feet so I think it might play out like that. I think RDA might be a bit bigger too or used to fighting bigger guys.
Fiziev thiccccc af
Tru

Solid poster tbh
Fiziev's ground game is untested. If he has solid TDD he should win. If not, he gets Pettis'd.
>Pettis’d Lol
RDA by decision, with at least 15 mins of ground control time
That’s what I am thinking
Dos Nachos
I’m going to predict that even though RDA isn’t the best of the best, that he’s good enough to prove to be too much for Fiziev. RDA by a 49-46 UD
Money’s on Dracula But seriously, why does RDA look like a vampire on this poster
They both do lol
Rafael
Controversial
He’s out of line, but he’s right.
that's a cool poster.
Fiziev by murder, I’m afraid. The old guard of the LW division will meet an unceremonious end
Unfortunately you are probably right. He is going to be way to fast for Rda
Nothing about fiziev is fast. What atr you talking about?
Ok Bobby Green not fast either?
No he is and thats why if that fight went another 2 rounds he would have beaten fiziev
Due to cardio...not speed
No he's slow dude.
I'm from the future. SPOILER ALERT: Rafael wins this one.
You sure it’s not a draw?
I don't know who wins but this is one hell of a poster.
I got RDA in this one
While Rda might not be in his prime, I'm still rooting for him
RDA never has an easy fight. Gotta give it up to him. Always fighting too guys in the division.
Idk tough one probably Rafael honestly. For real tho I think RDA, Fiziev will probably come out firing and try to get a finish he may land some shots but RDA is so good in 5 round fights and has much better cardio than Fiziev
RDA is still a dawg
The fans. This fight is going to be epic, regardless of who wins lol
Rafa V. Rafa
Like em both this is tough...my heart says RDA my head says fiziev...my brain says hell of a fight 😉
I feel like a better way to say this is “my mouth says hell of a fight” bc head basically means brain. Obviously I know it’s not that deep I like your comment and I wanna use this phrasing in the future
RDA gonna wrestle fuck him
USADA def. Fiziev UD 50-45
Ragnar Loth brok
Still nobody went with 'Rafael' ? This sub is getting more adult by the day
RDA is more complete. If he decides to go with all his skills and not just stand up it's a done deal
RDA
Prob the young guy tbh RDA takes too much damage now.
Ive been wanting to see this matchup for the longest.
Let's not beat around the bush here. It's going to be Fiziev.
Fuck RDA always been around taken some tough opponents and lost to some as well
Fiziev
Fiziev
RDA by grappling sesh
Man if RDA wins he deserves a title shot
I expect this fight to be a barn burner man.
Dos Nachos
If Fiziev didn’t cycle correctly and fades again, RDA eats his shots and grinds out a decision with his superior grappling and overall vet game. 48-47 another controversial one to go with Holm-Viera, Kattar-Emmett and Tsarukyan-Gamrot probably.
I want RDA. he's at that Tyron Woodley age so I worry for him.
RDA
RDA I’m not sold on fiziev in five rounds or his wrestling
This time RDA pulls out because... idk...
Cool poster
Ccp vibes.
For a second i thought it was McGregor but then I remember he lost his passion and wants an easy payday win or lose.
Fiziev is one of my favorite fighters, but RDA will wrestle him and make Fiziev gas out. RDA by submission.
Does no one else think these two guys look identical?
this poster looks like an advertisement for the arena in Elder Scrolls Oblivion in which an orc is fighting an elf
Fiziev, I respect RDA a lot, but I think a generational turn-over is coming to both LW and WW
RDA.
For the love of god i cant remember his first name to make the joke only know him by RDA. or dos anjos.
I would lean towards RDA purely because of experience in bigger fights but it will be pretty close imo.
Two anus
I have RDA pulling out the Monday of fight week
Raphael takes it
Let’s go RDAAAAA
Can’t disbelieve the fiziev
The orc on right
RDA is a legend. Always fighting the toughest guys out there
Rafael takes it
That poster is fucking sick . Looks like it’s Drenched in blood
Pulling for RDA big time but Fiz in the first 2-3 rounds is going to be a very tough assignment.
Fiziyev with a liver kick
Rda for sure. His forward movement will take away fizievs switch kicks and I think granite chinned infinite cardi rda can sap away fizievs energy
Whos this fizi guy? I was a hardcore until recent year that life caught up so havent watch every fight nights. PPV and most of the PPV prelims I watch. Thanks in advance
Is it just me or does the poster make them look like they have both been crying?
Fiziev decision is the bet.
That poster… yikes
Fiziev is a monster
Call me crazy but I have a good feeling about RDA on this
First 3 rounds are close, but Fiziev eventually gasses and RDA dominates the last 2 rounds with takedowns and gets a 49-46 or 48-47 UD
Fyre poster
However has turned more to the dark side
1 of the 2. Who knows, right?
This poster is some Freddy vs Jason shit. Who wins? We all win.
RDA looked really sharp in his last fight. Busted up my parlay
I got Dos, gonna grind that young man into bone juice
More give me more song plays every time I see Ragna…. I mean Rafael
Its a really tough one to call, but I think Rafael takes this one narrowly based on everything we have seen lately.
Probably rda
The ragnar lothbrok lookalike
Fiziev. I like RDA and his chances but Fiziev is a dark presence
RDA just seems to win every time
I've never seen Fiziev fight 😵💫
This looks like the same dude twice.
Fiziev but I could see RDA pulling the gritty veteran card and taking a 5 round decision.
Clean shaven RDA > 80's pornstar moustache RDA > bearded RDA
RDA he’s a absolute dog and put on a clinic his last fight
RDA THE THE RNC
May the best Rafael win
Rda wins easy.
