I Guess We Just Found Askren's Next Opponent

[bean88]

Never knew Pettis admitted he’d save the embarrassment but it’s kinda obvious that would be a pointless fight, training partners or not.

 

[KantoTerror]

Askren should fight Maia...let Pettis fight Lawler. Or maybe Lawler wonder boy next. Pettis ponzi

 

[MMACroatia]

Even if they would sign to fight, it's a stylistically crap fight.........it has boring written all over it, Askren needs an elite grappler to neutralise the take down, we need to cultivate the inner K1 of Askren, deep inside Askren is a kick boxer waiting to come out......

LOL'd

 

[Dacha]

Askren vs Usman would only make sense to me. But unfortunately don't think they would let it happen, at least not yet.

And Askren could find some funny way to pull out a win, despite not being favorite. )

 

[Londonjitsu]

Just like the majority of untrained bums on here you know nothing about the landscape of mma.

 

[revoltub]

Its all about the askren/woodley Bromance lately that everyone forgot about the pettis/askren one.

 

[rerun406]

Well, that's stupid. Training partners have fought each other before

Not as stupid as this thread, my brain hurt reading that . Ouch, ouch, ouch, make it stop

Please explain.

So, this is the intellectual power of a Sherdog Blackbelt

You should see the Sherdog platinum belt

LOL at black belt getting smacked around worse than my wife when i get home drunk

 

[Franklin U.]

Well, that's stupid. Training partners have fought each other before

This is true but in this particular situation it's not because of the rufus camp and the plethora of fighters that Ben can actually fight. ITS JUST NOT HAPPENING.

 

[The Schmoop]

Pettis, woodley and Askren all train at Doofus...

 

[FlyingDeathKick]

They won't fight, they are training partners

Knew this would be the first response. Also even of they weren't Pettis wants nothing to do with wrestlers at this point.

 

[Paladin]

Unless they rematch he and Robbie again, it's safe to say that Pettis is a logical next opponent, right? I mean, who else is there? Masvidal is probably gonna fight Leon Edwards and Ben isn't gonna fight Woodley for the obvious personal reasons. RDA is fighting Kevin Lee and Usman and Colby are fighting for the championship.

Factor in that Pettis doesn't do well against wrestlers and Ben might be licking his chops at this one.

There is ponzinibio

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

I thought about this fight as well, would be an interesting clash of styles on paper but it goes with Askren wrestlefucking the hell out of him.

 

[Rex Kwon Do]

Well, that's stupid. Training partners have fought each other before

Go try and schedule Khabib vs. Islam Makhachev, Barao vs. Aldo, and DC vs. Cain and see how well that works out.

 

[Fight Professor]

He should get Masvidal for a winnable fight.

To be fair, his account is till fairly new. Takes a considerable amount of spamming to get that belt in that time frame.

 

[Vegeta12]

Never surprised when people with newer join dates and a million posts have extremely hot takes. Somewhat surprised that you'd continue to argue this fight would happen, despite them being training partners, when people at their gym are extremely close.
