Ben Askren Calls Out GSP for Superfight in Canada

I love the fact that Askren has all the people that hate Dana pretending he's accomplished something in MMA just by constantly talking shit and then making demands that guarantee he'll never have to back up any of it. He's a talented guy, but he's one dimensional in a way that hasn't worked at the upper echelons of MMA in several years. He's done the right thing for his legacy by crushing cans for years. Lets everyone who wants a reason to talk shit about Dana/the UFC/top UFC WW's pretend he's too much of a threat to be signed.
 
Still incredible that Askren had that kind of career, but never got in the UFC. He's 18-0 now. He probably wouldn't be 18-0 had he had a career in the UFC, but a very good ww nonetheless.

Yes and when he offered to fight for free in the ufc and Dana said no, sounds like Askren was making an unreasonable demand eh?

Came here for this, was not disappointed!

<[analyzed}>
 
18-0 in MMA. Dominated the current #4 ranked WW. Bellator champion. One FC champion. Olympian. U.S. freestyle national champion. 2x NCAA champion. 4x finalist, 4x All-American. Doesn't take shit from Dana. Pretty funny guy.

Think that's a good summary.
 
Askren gets completely shut down in all aspects of MMA against St. Pierre.

If Askren really wanted to compete in the UFC he would have. Making the claim he would fight for free is smoke up the anal region and that's why White didn't buy that bullish.

Askren campaigned like crazy to get in and Dana publicly stated that the ufc wasn't interested .

What the hell are you talking about ....

Exactly. Plus if someone ask for too much money; Dana calls them on it every single time.

With Ben, Dana simply said "not my kind of guy" and my personal favorite in terms of absurdness "needs to get a few more wins on his resume before we can sign him."

Oh you mean pube head. He's alright, he's not funny tho.
 
Ah wasn't aware of that.

Askren should have been in the UFC ages ago. A waste of a talented guy. Dana had a major hate on for him.
Probably had something to do with Askren repeatedly shitting on Dana and not being exciting to watch. They both seem like irascible assholes but only one of them had power. Askren ending up fighting lesser opponents his whole career because he couldn't shut his mouth.
 
? 40.000 posts and that's the best you can do?

Askren beats most of the WW and MW guys in the UFC. There are a few top guys that would be too much for him (Rockhold, Weidman, Romero, Jacare, Whittaker, GSP) but he wrestlefucks the rest. He is essentially a better, bigger, stronger version of Jake Shields.

Ummm he doesn't have Shields' BJJ and its not even close.
