Ben Askren vs. Demian Maia Being Targeted For September Event

Awesome grappling match. Probably not an awesome fight.

Will still watch.
 
These grappler heavy contests usually turn into a shitty kickboxing match.

Maia via having better {<RR}
 
it's great, but this might be one of the only guys Maia has a striking advantage over, so how funny would it be if he decided to keep it standing and jab his way to victory like all those other wrestlers did to deny him the title?

not very funny, that's how funny
<1>
 
That's a really tough fight for Ben. Even though he's the more effective overall fighter at this point of their careers, I don't think he matches up well with Damien at all. Ben is obviously 100 times the wrestler, but I doubt he wins the grappling exchanges if he does take it there, and Damien is the better striker.

Blanket on Blanket crime
 
Are they trying to book the most boring UFC fight in history?
 
I pick Maia by submission. Grappling on grappling makes it's dangerous for Ben because Maia is a finisher.
 
That would be a very intriguing fight.
Askren will obviously take Maia down... but can he keep him there without getting subbed?
I like it!!!
Well he is a BJJ Black belt under Ben Askren so I doubt he would get subbed
 
Predicting a shitty kickboxing fight where Maia wins and the last of the Askren hype dies off
 
Very interesting.

Can Askren avoid being subbed in Maia's guard the whole fight?

I honestly dont know the last time I was this excited for a wrestle/grapple fight.
