How would Conor vs. Ben Askren at 170 go?

[cpirish]

Before you say Easy wrestlef*** for Ben, consider he is not great on feet and would likely get caught....maybe.

Your thoughts?

Shut up

Very badly for Conor.

Askren is ok on the feet (his striking has gotten better since his early Bellator fights) obviously he wants to take down better strikers... he'd easily take down McGregor and GNP to a finish or make him give up his neck for a sub.

look how Mendez dominated Conor and he is less skilled in grappling and smaller

Embarrassingly/great for Conor haters. lol

 

[KillerElite]

He will lay on him until he died of starvation.

I think Conor would be pounded out within a few minutes honestly. He needs to stay at 145.

Gay porn with the same ending.

I suspect 50-45 to BA aslong as there is absolutely nothing going on in the stand up.

Legit WW, Conor would be in for a wrestlefucking all the way to the final bell, Conor couldnt handle a mid ranked LW guy on 10 days notice, you really think he would match up any different to a guy trully 2 weight classes above him? Nate is a LW, conor is a big FW, they both get manhandled by legits WW´s.

This would be even better than Diaz v McGregor 1 & 2.

 

[Ryan McGizzle]

Best wrestler at 170 vs a 145 with suspect TD defense = Most boring fight in history.

Conor might lose but he won't get hurt, not a single scratch. Askren is a wrestler not a fighter.

Conor is going to have to step up his game I just listened to Floyd blast Adrien Broner and he said he not only would sell out a stadium in Cincinnati but he would sell out the whole state of Cincinnati meaning the whole state would come watch his fight live. We know that is a bunch of bull shit but its funny as hell.

Like him or Not there is no doubt that Askren could beat most of the ww roster. His wrestling is nothing short of amazing and easily the best in mma.

GSP dominated ww with wrestling for years while spamming takedowns and he is not the level of wrestler that askren is.

how would TS vs The wasteland go?

GSP's skillset is lightyears beyond Askren's.
I have no problem admitting that Askren's wrestling is on another level than GSP's, but the other elements aren't even worth comparing. GSP would mop the floor with Askren.

That said, if Conor and Askren fought, depending on Ireland's abortion laws, there's a good Chance Conor would have to carry the baby to full term.

There's plenty of doubt about that, he couldn't beat the last guy he fought and that guy was a low-level journeyman outside of the UFC.

Askren wouldn't crack the top 30 in the UFC IMO, and I think McGregor would make him look like an amateur.
