““The UFC marketing machine is set up for one thing, and the one thing they market is the stand-and-bang fighters. And they fail to have any recognition of how to market someone who doesn’t fit in that little profile. For me vs ‘GSP,’ if you learn to market me the right way, I am undefeated, I am an Olympian, I’m a damn American hero. I will sell a million pay-per-views if you learn to market me the right way.” - yeah because GSP was a stand and bang fighter.
Sonnen too.
Conor/Anderson Silva/Machida just waded and traded blows with their opponents like their name was Lawler / they definitely were not counter-strikers who didn’t set up their hits with their jaw.
Ronda, fuck, the definition of stand and bang (haha well Edmond tried to make her one). Lesnar, he never bullrushed a dude and love to stand and exchange.
Askren must have stopped watching UFC when Chuck was king. Or maybe he only watched Shogun/Hendo recently.
Additionally apart from being abrasive, which can sell, Askren forgets he is so boring that even GSP haters would rather watch a marathon of GSP 5 rounders than a single ‘Funky blanket’ ‚match’. Nobody watches college wrestling except parents of wrestlers and former wrestlers. Askren makes MMA an even more boring version of college wrestling. Pro wrestlers hit wach other with chairs for a reason.
“I have been on record saying I will go to Montreal, Quebec, Canada in 2019, I will beat up ‘GSP,’ and I will have 20,000 Canadians booing me and it will be a fantastic site to see. Absolutely, yes,” he added. “In 2019, I will fight Georges St-Pierre at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada its going to be sold out and we will make a lot of money.” - GSP doesn’t care about money and he probably doesn’t want to be beaten by a fresh hungry in his prime wrestler after years of being the best and cleaning out his division 2.5 times fighting monsters and suffering injuries. Meanwhile Askren was fighting the equivalent of Ronda’s soccer moms. I’m
