People are looking at this all wrong.

People are talking about Ben's striking. Posting gifs of his "horrible" boxing skills, from his stance to his punches.
Don't look at it like that. You have to remember that Ben has been fighting in MMA for decades. 19-2. He has never lost via TKO/KO. Not being TKO/KO's in 21 MMA matches should mean something. All of the others fighters were throwing punches at Ben. What about those fighters striking? Discuss his opponents striking abilities.

Whether or not Paul wants to admit it, he hasn't been an athlete since high school. He will tire and Ben will take over.

Ben's defensive boxing will be the key to victory in this fight.

Ben Askren has trained and sparred with top MMA fighters for years, he definitely knows how to throw a punch lol you're exaggerating a bit

Im not exaggerating bro im just telling it like it is. I dont have anything personal against Ben. He is a wrestler and thats it. He made it farther than anybody in MMA with only one skill set, so in that sense I respect him. If you think about it, Ben might be the last remaining single discipline fighter the UFC will ever see.

Ben is in very good shape financially. You really think he would do this kind of fight for that little?

I mean maybe. Hell I'd fight Jake for 500k and I'm in my 50's but its a different perspective.

It's stated that Paul made 8 figures in his fight with Nate Robinson. Askren is actually well known. He'd expect a piece of that.

Same fight, buddy.
I've been watching MMA since PRIDE could be watched live on TV. Watch how to talk to me, sonny.

You've been watching MMA since Monday bro. It says so on your sherdog account.
 
The worse of this all is that Ben knows he is a wrestler, not a boxer, but this idiot Paul believes that he can box.
What a sad state of affairs.

Join date Monday. Doesn’t remember Askren being knocked out. Claims to have watched MMA since PRIDE.

The reason they make shit like this is cause people are so stupid. It's all about giving the consumer what they want so it really is the people's fault. For example if people weren't so stupid good movies would still be being made on the regular, instead everyone's budget is going toward The Fast and Furious 37 - Boat edition "Only the dead float" , the 9th million Marvel movie in 7 years or some dumb horror movie. Sadly this fight will sell, and it'll sell good (at least compared to what it should). It's the world we live in =/

Exactly I guess it’s the casuals that just love the drama of these circus fights more than the actual skill. I’m sure Tom Cruise Vs Brad Pitt would sell an insane amount of PPVs
 
Don't dislike Ben at all, but I'm not going to lie, a part of me wants see Ben get knocked out silly for taking this fight... But hey, he's getting paid.
