"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."

Max Griffin is the only fighter Colby has TKO'd but cool opinion on others fighting abilities.
 
I think k1 Maia blitzes aspergers into Bolivia
 
I think Maia is better everywhere.. even wrestling
 
Word is doctors are prescribing this fight for patients with insomnia..
 
I hate Askren but he would mop the floor with Aluminium Perry's daddy
 
I don't get it, why would he be in a wet paper bag in the first place?
 
Lorenz Larkin: "It's going to be a boring-ass fight. Unless . . . no, it's going to be a boring-ass fight."

Larkin nailed it.

Why would he have to punch his way out of a bag? Not sure a guy with a 3-5 record in the UFC who goes to decision every time is in a position to shit on a guy who's 9-1 with only 1 decision in his last 10 fights.
 
Imagine if somebody told you 5 years ago that Maia's easiest path to victory in a fight will be to keep it standing.
 
you'll see..
raw
