Ben Askren is the future champ

[cyrusthevyrus]

Except Lawler and maybe Woodley, he has no real competition at WW.

He would decision guys such as usman, colby, till, ponzi etc./

 

[CrimsonFan]

Hes definately improving and getting better at submissions.

If he wins his next fight which I think he will, he gets the title shot. I see it happening, atleast he will get a chance to. Usman kinda seems like a bad fight for him

 

[WhosTheBoss]

I feel like usman will destroy him.
Honestly I don’t think anyone is going to beat usman unless they have extremely well punches / kicks (till before he’s been getting KOd like mad)

usman is so overrated, except woodley , he didnt face any real challenge

Idk if you can be overrated if you keep winning?
I just don’t see any wrestlers beating him, and there aren’t good enough strikers to take him out now either. Maybe Robbie?

 

[SuBB]

usman dbl legs him all night after seeing the recent wrestling he did

dude, his best wins are dos anjos and woodley. like, really. he is not proven yet.

 

[BC]

It’s entirely possible.

 

[WhosTheBoss]

His best wins are.... over former champs and world class fighters

Yep. Not proven He hasn’t beaten Zeus yet or Poseidon, so we don’t know yet!

world class fighters ........ only two of them , yes. but the rest? he is inferior to askren, lawler, macdonald, lima.....

Christ dude

I don’t even like the guy but how can you be so dismissing

Who cares about the rest when he BEAT the best.

“He’s not very good. He beat Jordan in a 1v1 game... but before Jordan he only beat high schoolers”

I hope Colby smokes him, but I don’t see it really happening

 

[ThaiSexPills]

He’s too one dimensional IMO.

He might become a Demian Maia specialist type with functional striking but he doesn’t get the belt.

Feed him to Marty.

 

[Where you at Georges?]

Let's be honest here, ben got lucky vs. robbie

some refs would of stopped that fight after the slam and the follow through punches

he didnt beat the best ) this is the problem.
what you said, vs colby, its 50-50

 

[cyrusthevyrus]

Let's be honest here, ben got lucky vs. robbie

maybe, but only lawler can beat him at WW

 

[TapMachine]

His best wins are two former champs and he's not proven?

 

[Mike K.O]

And Robbie's not even thinking about retiring

 

[YOLOGOGOPLATA]

I'm a huge Askren fan, but I don't favor him vs. Marty or Colby. I hope that I am wrong and that TS is correct.

Those are great wins. Plus he beat Maia. That's three fighters who are proven elite (they have beaten most of the other supposed challenges for Usman) and he handled them all easily. Let's not pretend he isn't good just because he has a boring style...I mean looking at the top of WW division right now it seems like we might have to embrace the grind.
