That's just unreal how easy he handles curly top
Ben Askren’s legacy as we approach retirement fight with Shinya Aoki
- Thread starter nuraknu
- Start date
interesting fight but i think Ben is going to be way too heavy for Aoki
Aoki is a big LW, but Askren is too seasoned for the fight to be competitive. It's too bad we never got to see Askren compete against the best, but he's an excellent example of how you can have a comfortable career in MMA without signing away everything. Wrestling was the sport where Askren seemed to really choose to be a competitor. Fighting was just a job.
so now I know that Askren will have a comeback fight around 2019-2020 and everybody will be dying in excitement pretending he was a fan favorite savage.
I always enjoyed Askren. He man handled people and totally dominated. I really wish we could've seen how he would have done against the best of the best. I, for one, believe he would have held his own against anyone. However, I believe in many peoples eyes his legacy will be that he was the best of the JV team.
I see him competing in submission ug under chael
Isn't he buddies with chael?
Well, he is one of the greatest to ever to do it
Don't expect aoki to do that
Levels to this shit and all that
That's also 7 years ago
Shame to never see him against the top of the division, can't blame him for his choices though, Aoki fight should be interesting.
