All I learned is that Alexander K. Lee is no expert.Prediction By Alexander K. Lee
Ben Askren vs. Robbie Lawler
Let’s get this out of the way first: Ben Askren would have been a perennial top-10 contender over the last few years if here were on the UFC roster. With that out of the way, Robbie Lawler is a rough debut matchup for him.
Don’t get it twisted, Askren’s elite wrestling will give Lawler plenty of headaches. Lawler has high-level takedown defense, but has been put on his back by the likes of Donald Cerrone and Matt Brown, two fighters who aren’t exactly known for their power doubles. What usually saves Lawler from being smothered is his ability to limit his opponents’ offense on the mat. This was evident in fights against Johny Hendricks and Cerrone, where neither man was able to do much with their takedowns.
Both fighters are coming off of long layoffs, and I think it will take longer for Lawler to find his rhythm on the feet than it will for Askren to locate his grappling game. There are few fighters in the world better than Askren at getting a fight to the mat. He excels at chain wrestling and finding the slightest openings to unbalance and trip his opponents. Regardless of who Lawler has fought before, Askren’s wrestling is on another level and Lawler is going to have to deal with that as soon as the bell rings.
If he can keep his composure as he usually does, it’s going to be harder and harder for Askren to avoid standing with Lawler, and Lawler will obviously have a huge advantage striking. This is a close call that is entirely based on how much faith you have in Lawler’s takedown defense, but I see it holding up long enough for him stay upright and eventually knock out Askren.
Pick: Lawler

Giving a half ass response to the ref so the ref has to make a split second decision then protest after the fight is stopped. Lose the fight but save face.Letting the ref stop the fight?
I'm going to start calling myself the expert who predicted Askren's sub over Lawler nowAskren by submission, very confident in this prediction
ben askeren by choke of some kind
Half assed? He responded to an arm check and gave the thumbs up lol. Why would he have to do moreGiving a half ass response to the ref so the ref has to make a split second decision then protest after the fight is stopped. Lose the fight but save face.
On the books im around 95 or higher. I can very easily prove that over the last 3-6 months. Tried to dump 10k on Smolka last night, now I'm banned from UFC straight bets. Only got 2100 down on him before they shut me down again. I wish 5dimes would take me back................. on the forums.. it's for damn sure higher than 95%.I wonder what this “experts” prediction record is. Most ppl are around 50/50 I’d say.
Herb deans account confirmed. That's why he stopped the fight for no reason when he did. Makes sense now. Gotta keep your sherdog predictions in tactdamn im good
robbie lawler went limp, that is another way to tap out... maybe robbie should not have gone limp and tap out... why did he go limp? what a stupid way to tell the ref to let the fight keep going. I have had people squeezing the shit out of my jaw and not choking me and sometimes all you can do is tap even thenHerb deans account confirmed.

even better chance Lawler would've been subbed or grinded to a decision. On the feet Lawler did little to nothing and outside of the slam and GNP lawler had no answer for Ben when they got tied up. Ben took lawler's best and still marched on. Can't wait for the rematch I'll call out everyone saying this BS to screenshot their bets on lawler when he's the underdog again.There's a good chance Askren would've been KO'd if the ref didn't fuck up.
Lol he didn't go limp. If your going off of when his arm dropped than you are just making an assumption .the proper thing for a ref to do in that moment is to check on the fighter like herb did. He lifted Robbie's arm and Robbie responded. Not only took his arm away but gave the thumbs up in the process. Worst stoppage in UFC history . Also learn the rules better manrobbie lawler went limp, that is another way to tap out... maybe robbie should not have gone limp and tap out... why did he go limp? what a stupid way to tell the ref to let the fight keep going.
