Ben Askren has owned a lot of hate throughout the years, you reap what you sow.
To be honest, I don't know much about Askren before getting in the UFC but when I hear him talking he seems to be pretty smart and reasonable, maybe too arrogant. I'm curious, what has he done throughout the years to deserve such hate?
 
I highly doubt either side is interested in this, Ben suffered a brutal KO to Masvidal, his health isn't what it used to be, he's already pretty rich now and the Jake Paul fight is probably a bigger payday than his 3 fights in the UFC.

Look many fighters talk a lot of shit but he is very vocal and his fighting abilities don't match his shit talking.
 
If Ben wins and finishes him I do think the ufc should give him the winner of Jorge and Usman. Ben with his superior grappling and newfound striking and status would bring something to the table at 170 that can't equalled.

Lol so basically you dislike the guy because reasons and somehow that makes it ok for you that a random youtuber beats a professional mma fighter in front of the whole world.

Mods, ban this guy.

My grandma talks more shit than Ben. People just didn’t like him because he was getting so much hype from Rogan. Masvidal also liked to pretend Ben was talking a lot of shit and people ate it up.
 
Askren is getting KOd.
Yeah, Lawler tried to pummel his face through the canvas and couldn’t get him out of there but Jake Paul will ko him. In reality Askren will swallow his punches and end up in and out of the clinch, tiring Jake out and winning OR losing a boring decision.

He was though, we all saw he was a bum trying to talk shit to Usman and Khabib and Masvidal and the like, so F him.
It will be a pleasure seeing him getting knocked out next month and thats a guarantee
 
I can't stand Askren. Props to him for this payday though. Only way he wins is to leg hump Jake to a decision. But I doubt it. He's gonna get fucked up.
 
I'm actually surprised jake paul has so many fans here on sherdog, but to each their own I won't judge.

I want ben to win this bum fight, but i wont be borthered etherway.

I'd rather watch dana vs daddy sherwood
 
I thought Funky retired cause he needed hip replacement surgery?

Can someone tell me if he has had surgery? Or is he making bank here to pay that off?
 
that's how it works these days money fights trump everything, who gives a fuck about skill. When Ben Askren was showcasing his brilliant high level wrestling nobody gave a shit. Now with the hype coming from a win over Jake Paul he will be able to walk right into the UFC with at least an equal money fight.

Jorge Masvidal rematch is the most obvious fight.

GSP could potentially comeback for a fight with stock that high and with no title implications on the line dana would allow it

Nick Diaz Dana needs to pay Nick Diaz some serious Conor Mcgregor money to come back and coach the ultimate fighter against Askren. All Nick has to do is make to the press conference and the money is in the bank.

All I know is that Ben already 10-7'ed Paul in the build up and public appearances.
Ben's striking is awful, but Logan has no idea whatsoever what is he getting into, as so far he "fought" youtubers and one useless basketball player.
 
Its interesting in the way nobody really knows wtf gonna happen. A guy who's hard as nails but has the boxing of a kangaroo vs a guy who would obviously fold under minimum pressure but can hit a bit.
