Ben Askren is the real deal

[clownin]

guy handled Robbie even after a near death beating, took his best punch, turned the table and bullied the bully with a bulldog choke. 19-0 Future UFC Champ

 

[Reign009]

He's was impressive and yet unimpressive at the same time.

 

[BooBoyMan]

credit to ben for coming back from that beating but everyone knows that should have been a no contest

 

[JC ATOM]

i dunno but...he got the win so whatever.. he's in

 

[MrBushMonkey]

The man can take a beating and come back. He's a tough one

 

[JJSBUR]

With all due respect to Robbie Ben recovered and was able to bring him to the ground from a bad start and gain control.

 

[milenss]

It's impressive for a guy that doesn't hit him with 1 single punch.

Ben has a chin on him.

 

[Katula]

Near death beating?. He took a few shots when Robbie was dishing out a bit of gnp and nearly died. Granted he showed massive heart but he looked appallingly bad

 

[Soul On Ice]

What's real?

Top WW?
Sure


GOAT tier?
Dunno bout that

Askren made a huge error and all of the grapplers out here saw it. Ben recovered and pressed Robbie against the cage and methodically took him down and proceeded to gain control. Ben did not look that bad aside from an error on his part.

 

[Glass Heart]

He is gonna be a hard match up for many on the roster. Someone like Robbie is his literal archnemesis. An amazing brawler with slick TDD.

 

[M.A.G.A.]

Ben is like a zombie he just comes at you with arms extended looking all dead to come fuck you

What He Proved
- Can come back from a beating
- Is douchey about admitting he shouldn't have won

What Got Exposed
- Takedowns were stuffable
- Takedown defense is highly questionable
- Striking looks mediocre

If Askren was the one who got illegal kneed, he would have taken the DQ win and bragged after IMHO

 

[Grapplefest]

Real deal heart and chin yeah, but dude looked awful other than that

 

[Skitzo]

 

[SSgt Dickweed]

Why couldn't they get a restart? They should append the rules for instances like this.

Mediocre is too generous of a term for his striking. Dude is unarguably the worst striker in ufc history. He might flail his arms once or twice before he dives for every single clinch but that's all.

 

[JC ATOM]

Nobody would want a rematch...it aint worth shit.
It's like playing Super Marios first caste again because Bowser almost killed you. Fuck it! I want the next level!!!!
