Ben Askren Roasted by Daniel Cormier

Bearing in mind that Mark Schultz fought in UFC 9 back in 1996, it is funny how Askren was hyped as having a pedigree of elite freestyle wrestling that had never been seen before in the UFC.

It is not as Ben had anything except his wrestling. At least Ronda worked on her striking.

A kickboxing match between Askren and CM Punk would surely have been competitive.
Come on man if Askren or even Mark Schultz were half the wrestler CM Punk was they would have turned pro. The reason they stayed amateur for so long is they were amateurs at wrestling.

CM Punk is a multiple time professional heavyweight and open weight wrestling champion of the world not some amateur best known for beating up debt ridden college kids.
 
Throwing shade at Maia, too...

Cormier must have missed Maia busting up Colby round 1
 
Kind of weird that he says a guy he doesn’t even think can fight is about to be a UFC champion. Don’t you think?

NOBODY thought Askren would ever be a UFC Champion. Get real.

And some people actually believe this guy would be a good replacement for Dana?
 
He has tremendous wrestling skill but zero in strength and striking department.

He's the closest thing to a high skilled rasslin human sloth I've ever seen.
 
Went 20-0 against decent competition and made it to the big leagues but doesn’t know how to fight? Dude was way past his prime anyway

Ask Robbie Lawler, Lima, Aoki and Koreshcov if Askren can fight
He's the same age as Masvidal, younger than Robbie and 7 years younger than Maia. He also hasn't been fighting as long as any of those guys.

Not sure if talking about Askren or DC, but agreed. :D
 
Wrong. Ben was known for his folkstyle wrestling.
Agreed, a folkstyle monster no doubt. He changed the game.
But he made an Olympic team. Only one guy per weight class does that every quad.
 
Fake ass cormier as usual... always giving backhanded compliments.

"I love this dude", then proceeds to insult his whole career.

I don't even like askren.
This is what people don't see and I saw years ago. He is A FAKE PERSON, always was. And the most stupid thing is people praising this fatso like he is a good person or something. I don't get it. Values are inverted nowadays, bunch of no-good people out there, embarrassing.

And, yes, me neither. I don't like Askren, but Cormier is unbearable. Fake champ, fake person, shitty commentator, beat bums in HW and claim to be one of the bests (LOL), and the cherry of the cake is making eye surgeries on Stipe and pretending to be a normal thing... Come on. We are talking about the EYES. Blind somebody and pretends to be ok... Simply NO.

Askren is a better person than this... this one - not to say other things...

It was expected he’s the jealous type and Askren was the better wrestler
 
It's the Roman chin. Pulls its own gravitational field creating a wormhole in time and space and Ben thinks he's the embodiment of Maximus meridius chlamydia from Gladiator.
 
True.

Tbh, he probably got more brain damage in the first 30 seconds of the Lawler fight than he's gotten throughout his entire career in the minor leagues.

mehhh the hate is real. I guess it’s hard to imagine Robbie getting choked unconscious but it happened even if it was only a flash.
Well if Robbie was out for a flash, then so was Ben earlier in the fight.
 
We could argue back and fourth on this but Herb checked on him and he was limp as fuck. You have no clue how the body will respond in a moment where someone JUST goes out or is on the verge of blacking out in a moment like that.

All we saw tho was Herb do is job and check his arm and that shit dropped like a floppy noodle.

we could argue about this over and over because we both have our opinions. But at the end of the day Ben won, and your boy Robbie lost. I know that may upset you, as it does a lot of people, but that’s the way it went down man.

I don't hate Askren at all, I actually never understood why the dude got hated so much. He's awesome and very funny imo. I have great respect for his wrestling too

But Robbie wasn't out. You are not unconscious when you have the lucidity to acknowledge the referee is checking on you to see if you're out and you have the sense to move the arm he's checking PLUS giving him a thumbs up. Herb had a brain fart, thats all.

And so would a kickboxing match between DC and Roman reigns
