"In Your Professional Opinion": Askren vs. Maia
Max Griffin pulls no punches: "I can't stand Ben Askren; he can't punch his way out of a wet paper bag. He's going to try and take him down; he's going to get submitted by Demian Maia."
Urijah Faber: "Maia has much better stand-up, just because Askren doesn't really care about the stand-up game at all. But I'm going to go with a wrestling ace over a BJJ ace."
Lorenz Larkin: "It's going to be a boring-ass fight. Unless . . . no, it's going to be a boring-ass fight."
Al Iaquinta: "I gotta go with wrestling. I think Ben Askren gets it done."
Gilbert Burns: "I think Demian Maia gets it done. Askren makes a lot of mistakes."
Alex Hernandez: "I got Askren. I'm a Day 1 Askren fan."
Leslie Smith: "I gotta go with Askren unless Maia can hurt Askren standing up to influence it in his favor when he gets to the grappling."
