Askren would bury Mcgregor so deep he'd plant a potato in Mcgregor's ass.
not really. he was a bellator reject, it's understandable that dana didn't want him when bellator didn't renew his contract. but then a couple of years later dana opened the doors for him and askren shut it down repeatedly. he never really wanted to fight in the ufc. he probably just wanted to use it as leverage. maybe he could have been great, but he never wanted to fight the top guys in his divisionMore like Dana White ducked having him in the UFC.
yeah there was like 2 good guys in bellator. huge resume, right? and read what I said above, at that time dana didn't want him, but later dana was open to a discussion, but he repeatedly burned the bridges to the UFC. he was comforable in oneFC beating top 100 guys and didn't want to test himself with the best fighters in the world, that much is pretty clearWho did he duck? Names please...
He fought every top guy in Bellator. When they didn't renew his agreement and Dana didn't want him, he went to the only org that was available that would pay him decently.
Maybe you should get a better understanding of ducking, for example bisping has been ducking the top 10 middleweights, conor ducked Frankie Edgar... etc.
And if they somehow ever fought a 5 round fight, unless conor cracked Askren early, Askren would pound him, gas him and beat him. Askren is a huge WW with a great gas tank, a granite chin and the best wrestling in MMA.
This .. all day long. If my aunt had balls....talk is cheap. the guy ducked all legitimate competition in these last years. can't really talk. mcgregor accomplished way more than him
Ashlee Evans-Smith joins me and Andrew Montanez in Studio. We discuss everything from Ashlee's latest fight to the UFC and Bellator fights last week. I talks about my recent gigs, pissing off Vivica Fox who was in the crowd during my show and more. Ben Askren calls up and talks about why he is retiring after his next fight, how he would destroy Conor McGregor in a fight, his predictions on GSP vs Bisping, his thoughts on standing for the National Anthem and more. Hope you enjoy.

Which ones were controversial ? Other than the Hieron fight none were even close on the scorecards.
lol never faced someone with the fire power of Conor? Man, some of you guys are just braindead.
Conor has never faced anyone who has elite level grappling like Ben. Askren would literally win 50-42 if he went the distance.
ducked nobody lol, dana wouldn't let him in the ufc, that's completely different.talk is cheap. the guy ducked all legitimate competition in these last years. can't really talk. mcgregor accomplished way more than him
Conor smashes Asskrens face as he sloppily rushes in for a TD.
How delusional are some itt ?
Asskren is only bigger because he's got a sloppy ass dad bod. He's not stronger. His striking is that of someone who is still getting used to keeping the mouthpiece in their mouth.
Do some of you not realize the difference in striking is waaaaay bigger than the difference in grappling ?
And as others have stated, every round starts on the feet.
1st rd KO easily.
The best part would be to see Asskrens ghey ass curly hair fly around as his head snaps back from Conor's left hand.
lol no, the striking is not a way bigger gap then the grappling and that's not even debatable.Conor smashes Asskrens face as he sloppily rushes in for a TD.

Conor before the fight
"EEZ A FOOKEN SKINNYFAT BOOM WIT NO STROIKIN, ID LIGHT IM UP ON THE FEET AN FINISH IM WIT GROIND N POIND"
Conor after the fight
"I stepped up to take on the bigger man, he was 7 times my size, a natural heavyweight. I thought i dominated him on the ground but i got tired...i tink i been eaten too many sardines. and thats when he was able to take the mount. But aside from the last 4 and a half minutes of round one, and fooket, the other four rounds, i tott i was handy, dominating him from de bottom like a ju jitsu mike tyson"
That's how i see it as well...it only takes 1 or 2 punches from conor to end the fight...

There's absolutely no way that Asskren gets within range of Conor without getting his skull smashed.
