Why are Askren fans delusional on the Robbie fight?

Spoiler

Was out and came back.

The only idiot here is the one who continues to make threads demanding to talk about it.
Because what you really want is to bash a fighter.

The big point you miss is that it really doesn't matter if Robbie was out or not.
The very fact Ben took everything Robbie threw at him, turned the fight around and had Robbie on a choke already prove you are wrong about Ben.

SO fuckup by the ref or not, Ben is legit and you are just a dishonest/envious hater.

This is true. But you cant just disregard whether he was out or not. Yes Robbie gave Askren all he had, hammered his face and slammed him hard and didny take him out. Ben is tough as shoe leather. Major props. But Robbie wasnt out. .

 

[ClosetVitorFan]

Was out and came back.

No. Not true.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Was out and came back.

So every fight should be stopped on a flash KO then?

Im not a hater so much as he is a fraud. I cant stand Khabib. I think hes a backwards guy stuck in the stone age. But hes a legit great fighter. Not a cheater. So i respect him i dont hate Askren as much as he is a phony hype job.

That's exactly how I feel about Khbaib, hes been great at what hes been doing, but hes not A great. I'm not calling Him a fraud, but sooner than later, hes gonna get absolutely demolished, and that will stun people for some reason. Tony is going to easily beat him I'm sorry but he is

"MAN HE WASN'T OUT HIS ARM FELL DOWN"

*proceeds to post a gif which lasts less than a second, showing only Robby's arm going down and cutting out all the other stuff that shows he wasn't out"

Thats how fake news starts, like the Covington catholic kids, etc. Show the whole video with all angles. Wasnt out. Ben should be 0-3..

These people dont understand. Theyre Askren nuthuggers.

Again, so what exactly is your point?
How is this his fault?
he did what he had to do, the ref fucked up.
But the very fact he was able to turn the table on Robbie proves YOU wrong about him being a can.

Why are people fans to the point they feel they are connected to people or entities that they have nothing to do with?

I thought he was out, but then he popped up and I thought, oh shit!

Perhaps its complicated, so its not even a good idea to try and make a definitive opinion? It was a cool fight while it lasted, and maybe they will run it back at this point as they are both on a slide.

 

[DIRTYCOP]

it’s amazing that people think you can’t go out and wake back up in the middle of a choke

EARLY STOPPAGE!!!

 

[Bend NvR Break]

So every fight should be stopped on a flash KO then?

Not necessarily but there are many examples of both where flash KO has stopped fights and fights where fighters are given a little extra leeway in taking a whopping.

I side with the ref in almost all situations because I can't judge what a ref saw and how they interpreted it.

 

[TheChance]

Askren's fans might be the saltiest and most delusional to date.

The Diaz brothers will forever have that market cornered

 

[TITS]

He was faking.

 

[Repusman]

I remember back in the day when people on here were constantly saying how Askren would crush GSP. I laughed then and i laugh now.

 

[Okajima]

Limp arm = Good stoppage.

 

[Gilday]

You can go out and wake up again while still in a choke ffs, Jacare said it happened to him recently against Hermansson

I'll take what Jacare says over some random sherdoggers all day

 

[SpecialDelivery]

No, you dont stop a fight because the guy is almost submitted.

No, but YES, you DO stop a fight when a guy's arm has gone limp, which it did so wake up buddy.

Robbie was not OUT. On different camera angles it does look like he was, but he wasnt. Namely the main camera angle, i at first thought robbie was out. He wasnt. I swear most mma fans dont train and mot know how chokes work. I can admit i was wrong. I dont get these prideful idiots. Askren sucks and is not UFC caliber. Bellator cut him, he goes to one fc and wrestle fucks a bunch of asian cans. He can squash two watermelons with his arms. He blows. He was given a gift by Herb dean. Hes incredibily unatheltic, no stand up. Why does this guy have so many defenders?

He has a hardcare base of fanboys that are very delusional. Wrestling is a tight community and they are very proud. It's hard for them to admit the truth.

 

[bigmacbub]

Lawler gives a thumbs up seconds before Herb steps in. Ppl saying Lawler was out plz tell me since when do unconscious ppl give a thumbs up

 

[khabib time]

Yeah robbie just let his arm drop like a sack of potatoes just cause

You are saying Big John is wrong and you are right. Nevermind all the MMA fighters that tweeted after the fight. They ALL thought it was a bad stoppage. You know better than Big John and the pro fighters?
