Askren's skillset just seems outdated. Sure, it would have been amazing in 2010 when everyone wanted to see him in the UFC. But he has 0 striking, no power, and he's small. He's just really good at wrestling. That doesn't work at a top level in 2018. The sport's evolved and he hasn't. He needs some striking, some power, or more size. The top 5-10 UFC guys would kill him. He'd look like a dwarf next to Usman and Colby.Askren hasn't really been in trouble since the Sapo fight. He handled everyone in Bellator at the time handily and has the credentials to back it up.
