GSP vs Ben Askren

[Official]

I realize this thread has been made a million times, but I think it deserves a million more. It is a total travesty if this fight doesn't get made. I would be so god damn excited to watch this. I don't care if it's the headliner on a complete shit card, I'm still buying this. What's wrong with you people? How is this not one of the most interesting fights you could possibly make right now? Dana White = Sport Killer.

Boring!

 

[Mixedfights]

For the most boring fight you can imagine? Winner gets Khasnore.

 

[Bogeyman]

People aren't interested because it's a complete mismatch. Askren is nowhere near GSP's level. You're talking about racing a golf buggy with a F1 car.

Because Askren sucks

 

[chinarice]

The only chance Askren would have is GSP being completely shot.

Id watch

Only if it was a wrestling match just so Askren would smoke him. GSP wins a fight

 

[brickhands]

gsp picks him apart with the jab whil stuffing his takedowns

Askren has never fought a guy nearly as good as GSP. Would likely look like GSP/Kos 2

 

[TUFNewb]

It would be a total travesty if Askren went from crushing absolute cans in the bush leagues straight to fighting the goat.

He needs to prove himself.

GSP by Koscheck

Askren doesn’t deserve a GSP fight. He doesn’t have a single Top Ten win.

Crocop is on a winning streak in some shit organization right now, does he deserve a shot at Stipe? That’s not how it works.

 

[Cooliox]

I'm sorry but I don't think as highly of Ben Askren. The man has been fighting in unsanctioned MMA for how long now? Against most dudes with no wikipedia pages.

I acknowledge his talent. But there is nothing worth anticipating. If I see Ben Askren prove himself once or twice against some top ranked fighters, today, I will be down.

I think someone else posted that Ben Askren has just 1 top15 win in his career? Something like that.

 

[Irishhandbomb]

Honestly would love to see it, but Askren would need to come over and beat at least one top ten fighter (like Shields did before his shot).

The hype surrounding Askren reminds a lot of Shields in his rumble on the rock and strikeforce days, except he had wins over guys like Hendo, Miller, Daley, Okami, Condition, Lawler, etc.

 

[ShinyaAokiFan]

I’d make Ben fight first to see where he stands. A win over Colby or RDA would make a GSP fight credible.

 

[Tsar]

gsp is too athletic and too good everywhere. not sure askren could take him down or get back up to his feet when GSP gets him down.

 

[TheChance]

Dana White = Sport Killer.

You should be more upset with Askren than Dana, he is more at fault here.

 

[TallGHunter]

Askern would win imo. Should happen, great fight.

 

[p4pgoat]

You should be more upset with Askren than Dana, he is more at fault here.

How do you figure?
