He is the reason Masvidal is as hot as he is.......If Jorge doesn't get hit him from the knee from hell lets be honest who really gave a shyt about Jorge? Thanks Ben for creating a huge superstar for the UFC good luck in your retirement.
 
And that's all that matters.
That you watch to see him lose or win.

Ben had a great career considering his boring fighting style.
 
I was at that fight. Was pretty cool to see live! Ts is right tho. That askren ko put him on the map!
 
He had a great carreer, considering if you removed 7 letters from his name and added an s, his name would litterally be Ass.
 
Yeah, winners leapfrog those that they beat, especially when it's by devastating KO.

That's uh... the inherent stakes of all prizefighting. Nothing gets by you.
 
Seen 2 of his fights, Lawler and the beautiful career reconsidering KO. He sounded extremely boring outside of those 2. Won't miss him.
 
I wasnt a fan but didn't wanna see his career go like this either
 
Well deserved IMO. That was one of the best Flying knee KO's of all time. As for Askren? He brought it on himself. Nobody liked his fighting style and he was cocky AF when he came to the UFC and then didn't back it up.

Ben Askren is the 2nd biggest fraud signed to the ufc. Cm Punk his teammate being first. Maybe they trained in striking together that would explain a lot. He should be 0-3 in the ufc without the gift from Herb dean

it was at times excrutiating to see him fight in the other Orgs. His wrestling was so... Rapey. Really hard to watch if you were a fan of his opponents. :D

I'd like to remind you about Hector Lombard.
 
That’s what you call heat. Something Colby wishes he has, but never will

Same reason why Colby is popular. When you talk like an idiot like those two did, you're gonna draw attention to yourself but people are going to want to see you get your ass beat. It was real satisfying watching Askren get obliterated with a flying knee when his gameplan was gonna be to lay on top of Mas for 15 minutes.

Winning a fight has consequences, who knew?
Maybe don’t get spectacularly and in record fashion KOd, that might have had something to do with the hype around Masvidal?
Congrats on being unconscious in the 3 UFC fight you had, I enjoyed it.
You absolutely proved you didn’t deserve the hype or attention, your mouth was more impressive than your fighting ability.
