Decent at wrestling? The guy has is one of the best p4p wrestlers in all MMA. He would walk over subpar competition in TUF.
but it is not going to happen... is all about money and One FC pays him well.
Cut cable (Dish), so couldn't honestly say...might be a reason to re-subscribe to UFC online. But yeah, it would be beneath him, like putting on GSP as a contestant. It might be White's way out to save face, though, if Askren were interested.
Comparing Askren to GSP lmao
Ben Askren is a dual organization champion who makes above mid tier UFC money.
Why exactly would he do TUF ? I could see him coaching like he did with Pettis.
Ben is a champion and OneFC rules are way more dangerous than UFC's, if anything
they should buy out his contract and add him to the welter weight division. Ranked top 10 upon entrance. If he overwhelms his opponent maybe fast track him to the title shot. I think Ben would beat Hendrix and or Lawler. The only problem I could see for him is if ShowWeather lands flush. Likely Funky will ride midget Lombard out and smother him for 3 rounds.
He's never faced tough competition before. Hell, Kimbo Slice looked amazing until he was on TUF. I think it exposes a lot of people.
