Askren wins 9/10x bs Masvidal

Ever heard of Douglas Lima....?
Sure, and Ben beat him before Lima was a top dog and had no notable wins himself.

Anyway, I’m not saying Ben is a complete bum, just that he hasn’t gone through some lineup of different top ranked guys to really assess where he ranks.

He had that bizarre fight with a past prime Lawler where he nearly got bludgeoned to death, then he had an even more bizarre 4 second KO loss to Masvidal, then just got owned by Maia so I see nothing that suggests he could win 9/10 against any UFC WW.
 
Due to their distinctly different styles and skill sets, there would be a wide range of possibilities for how the fight would play out.

That said, after the 1st fight, I'd be wary to say that Askren would win the majority due to that nasty first KO.
Can't tell me that Askren wouldn't hesitate on the shot after that.
 
Askren was complete trash in the UFC. The only thing worse is his fanbase.
 
Am I the only one that believes that if they fought 10 times, Ben wins 9 times easily by decision?

Yeah masvidal landed that lucky fluke flying knee and made casuals think he was elite but Ben will outwork and use his wrestling easily on Jorge, especially with Jorge with no gas tank now.

Like Colby said, Masvidal was the hype machine who hit lightning in a bottle for a couple of fights.

You aren't the only one but you and the others would be wrong. Ben was an overrated can-crusher. He got exposed in the UFC for what he really is.

lol Lima was 21-4 with fights against 10 guys with wikipedia pages when he faced Askren for a Bellator title.
 
Askren defeated himself in that fight, masvidal just fights like he has nothing to lose (even though he has kids, rofl)

Deadbeat dad is probably a gross understatement of what masvidal is actually. It’s not even about the comment about his fathering, that’s just his excuse.
 
Am I the only one that ...

The fact that you are not the only one is really depressing.

You think a guy who was unconscious in his last 3 fights is gonna win 9 out of 10 against a guy that put him to sleep in 4 seconds?

Ben was shot before he came to the UFC and if I recall correctly had RETIRED before the UFC called him. His hip was shot, he was out of shape, he couldn't train and he moved like a middle aged math teacher.

Ben's double leg takedown attempt in the Mas fight looked like a special needs toddler trying to dive in a pool, except they don't know how to dive so they just kind of lean and fall like a retard.

And his "striking" was the source for some wicked memes.

You think he runs the table in the next 9 hypothetical fights vs Jorge???

I don't see it man.

Fight clock brought to you by ModellOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
 
No TS, it wasn't a fluke. Mas threw a flying knee and it landed. Leave it alone.

Yep. Every time this or similar topics come up it proves to me that people in the MMA community don't understand what the fuck a "fluke" is.
 
9 times out of 10 huh? They will never fight again so it's 1 out of 1. And it was a glorious 1 that will live on for eternity.
 
Everyone was saying Masvidal was in the worst shape he had been in a long time but fail to credit him in that he still got up multiple times before he completely gassed against Colby.

Askren is nowhere near Colby's level and Jorge is a good win for him. This should be common knowledge. Jorge is not a bum no matter how much you guys want to dump on him. He would more than likely beat Ben again and probably score a knockout as well.
 
Are we going to forget that Ben got KOd by Jake Paul?

No, there are plenty of other casuals who have no idea what they're looking at either.
 
Nah Ben has no legit wins over anyone worth mentioning, it’s not obvious at all that was some sort of fluke. I doubt Masvidal wins again in four seconds, but I could see him winning by later knockouts and even decisions. Masvidal has gone the distance with several champions, who has Ben ever been tested against?

Id take Lima and Koreshkov over Jorge.
 
Lol. You've all gone completely retarded over this sucker punch shit.

<36>

Ben and Jorge have somehow become two of the most underrated fighters in recent history.

Ben was destroyed in everyone of his UFC fights. What are you talking about?
Even against Robbie he got outwrestled and was in desperation mode with a bulldog choke.

If Herb wasn't such an idiot Askren would be 0-3 in the UFC.
He was headlocking someone and Robbie was just chilling waiting for him to gas out his arms like the scrub he was at that point.

Seriously, I wish we could all just back to talking about who has more Magomedovs - PFL or Bellator? and who's more GOAT.
