Pressure RDA is the best RDA (backfoot RDA is useless, although it doesn’t compare very much).

RDA with the first takedown of the fight. This is what I was expecting from Brazil. # UFCVegas14

Bisping goes on and on about how fast Felder looks as Paul eats 5 straight punches and takes down. # UFCVegas14

Very close competitive battle so far! The RDA’s hold is strong and Paul is swift on the release of his attacks. # UFCVegas14

Fun RD 1. Zero is looking sharp for camp, but RDA edges it out. And we have 4 more! # UFCVegas14

The fight was in the middle of the cage for only a few seconds, but Felder immediately began to do better. Looks like he needs to be put there.

Serious question: When was the last disappointing mild event at UFC?

Paul is not ready to retire he looks great

Felder down 0-2 so far but still looking sharp and dangerous. Great fight of both men till now.

The RDA is killing his own double-legged efforts because his head is on the wrong side.
is that all.

30-27 up through three rounds at Rafael dos Anjos # UFCVegas14 Main function.
I think many people forgot how good RDA was in light. He is a demon. # UFCVegas14

The RDA finds greater success with its takedown in each round. Mixing her attacks and entries well. Felder defended well, but a finish would be needed.

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

Felder needs to finish one here but damn if I don’t think he’s the guy to just dig in and find one! Hard work against a legend though! # UFCVegas14 @ufc

3-1 RDA for me going to RD. 5. The bucket of honor of both these headliners.
– John Anik (@ jon_unique) November 15, 2020
This fight is so good. And Felder is one of the living humans.
– Brett Okamoto (@bokamotoESPN) November 15, 2020
Damn Felder Hard. He takes solid shots and doesn’t even flick. His striking is also very good. Everything looks like it can take someone’s head.
– David Michaud (@ bulldawg_170) November 15, 2020
Dang what fight RDA and Felder threw down!
– Douglas Lima (@PhenomLima) November 15, 2020

Awesome fight, always duel when you have 2 really good guys and amazing fighters, but I loved RDA’s reign as a champion and wouldn’t mind seeing it again. Looks like Felder earned a rematch himself if it happens # UFCVegas14
