Koreshkov has gotten so much better since the Askren fight. I'm not so sure Askren really has....

I'd be down for a rematch on that one.

Bore Askren.

Ben deserves that UFC shot though, he'd be so funny.

Ben hasn't looked great lately but I think if he were in the UFC he would be more motivated. I could be wrong. I think he fights up to his level of competition.

I'd like to see him in the UFC for sure, but think Robbie, Wonderboy and Rory would murk him

Was Askren's last fight against the Russian worth watching? Or is it 25 minutes or snore?

He looked like he tried to show off some standup in the 3rd round and lost his rhythm after two flawless first rounds. As a result he looked a bit less sharp, but in a way that made the fight exciting than the usual dominance.

haha.. i commented about this in the live pbp thread.

It means Askren is still the lineal Bellator WW Champ. Although beating Benson does make Andrey's stock rise, they will forever have the Askren loss hanging over their WW division.

The same shit will happen to their LW division if they let Will Brooks walk as well.

Robbie sleeps his ass.

Truly truly impressed with andrey. Great hands. Great at keeping his distance, and rocked benson a lot!

I hope he gets the credit he deserves.

Ben has a lot of heart, but man he gave up alt of size. Needs to come back down to lw

What was the striking results 228-1 or something?

Koreshkov has hugely improved, and even then askren struggled to take him down, but fuck me, he ragdolled that boy
