When he first started in MMA, no doubt he was boring, but he was just a wrestler at that point. He hadn't really been in the sport that long

PPl judge him too much off of when he first started in MMA and was raw af. Only 1 of his last 8 fights has went to decision.

For me he's like Matt hughes 2.0. Everyone thought Matt was boring too, but he finished a lot of guys and was in some epic fights(BJ vs Hughes 2, Trigg vs Hughes 2)


It's unfortunate the UFC used the boring excuse not to sign him. He legit could be the goat and we don't even know it.. I hope this really isn't his last fight against Aoki
 
His commenting ability never came close to the uniqueness of his hair.

You or anyone please link a fight worth of Hughes legacy, by Askren. And I am a wrestling fan. I'll wait.
 
I have a feeling Aoki is gonna end his perfect record here soon!!!
 
If you watch that fight and it leaves you thinking about gay porn...

A dude doing zero damage and just hugging and gripping another man. If thats what you like...

Not sure he's an exciting fighter, but how is he different than Khabib? People worship Khabib and he does the same thing: wrestlefuck his opponents and win every time out.
 
I personally always looked forward to seeing Ben fight. It's like the classic days of style versus style only much more impressive because these are all well rounded MMA fighters he is fighting. Yet he is just pitting his wrestling expertise against them and fucking dominating them mostly. Always a fan. Hope he slaps the shit out of Aoki and retires undefeated

Well for starters he has never had to pull out of a fight for missing weight nor does he have 25% of the year blocked off from competing due to religious fasting.
