well askren who showed up old and fat as fuck, is a wrestling specialist -- and was in a boxing-rules match with little paul who showed up young, fit, well-trained and disciplined

so yeah askren sent mma back to the button-up 1950s with his huge embarrassing failure

I could look the other way if this dude didn't start his MMA career at 19-0 before losing his last two.

If he was that outmatched, some people should've taken him out long before that.

I miss the NBA where threes were more at a premium, halfcourt offense was the norm not the exception, no ad logos on jerseys, home teams wear home white jerseys, normal looking courts, scoring 100 points was an impressive offensive performance, etc. Tim Duncan, Shaq and KG ran the league not three point shooters. Someone please set the NBA back two decades. :'(

All these awful fucking takes lol.

Ben has historically bad standup in mma, like really really bad. And on top of that was coming off a hip surgery and clearly didn’t take this fight seriously.

idiots pretending he is a representation of mma striking :lol

Jake Paul hand picked Askren for a reason, he knew exactly what he was doing.

Even if he took the fight seriously I’m not sure he wins. He is a really good wrestler (Olympic level) and that’s how he won in mma. But his striking was dog shit even by mma standards. He also fought in lower tier orgs almost his entire career. When he finally came to ufc he went 1-2 and really could have lost the one fight he won.

anyone pretending the guy is a representation of mma striking is very naive or just spinning a narrative tbh
