Ben Askren who said boxers are not good at boxing, got slept in 5 seconds.

I know I've done a bit of wrestling and BJJ before in my life so I know the protocol hence why I'm shocked by Askren's stupid af reaction to a guy bumrushing him. Hell if that's how he plans on transitioning from the feet to the ground he's gonna be getting clipped a lot more Askren got confused so he went to his ingrained instinct which was look for a takedown, should have kept his hands up and just moved back since that flying knee is high risk low probability move.

Best knockout ever. I've already watched it 100s of times. Can't get enough of it the stiffness of Ben's body on the canvas gets me too stiff.

That's because Askren was always overrated. Someone Like GSP would never make a rookie mistake like that, You time the double leg, not rush in with your head down.

Ben Askren should be taken out of UFC immediately, fighting there is extremely dangerous for him because he is not on their level. If this keeps up he might die in the next couple of fights outright. Those guys are extremely vicious and very dangerous because they use elbows, knees and all kinds of deadly arsenals.

He anticipated that askren would instinctively shoot in, but even so, the vast majority of times, the knee wouldn’t land cleanly and he would have ended up on his back. Spectacular ko but a 1 in 1000 type of shot. Damn fughin right That was just perfect timing on all points He can try that another 100 times and never get that ko again

Most UFC fighters are complete jokes and act like they are Boxing Analysts. :dead:

I haven't watched the UFC in a long time but that s h * t was awesome lol.

Askren's lack of boxing or stand-up fighting skills was ultimately his downfall. Masvidal predicted exactly what he was going to do. He'd never run in like that against someone who could side step and counter with a huge hook to the jaw.

That was an early stoppage if I’ve ever seen one

Fastest KO in UFC history. The guy was literally walking forward with his chin up in the air and arms out not protecting his head

he never said anything about flying knee fighters not being good at flying knees doe That right bro. Cut him some slack.

The best part is he was caught with the flying knee because the first thing he tried to do was a double leg takedown like any basic one dimensional wrestler would do. Dont dip your head low when your opponent isn't in grappling range, he's not gonna last long in the UFC. That's because Askren was always overrated.

Lmao Ben Askren put out a video saying boxers are just not good at boxing, got slept in 5 seconds by a flying knee By a flying knee LOL stfu and stop acting like a boxer KOed him.

Askren is cool to me BUT he talks too much.

Yup, which is why boxing may not be not ideal in a streetfight. A knee to the head is the natural counter to someone attempting to take your legs out. Fists usually end all street fights. It's beyond rare that some flying knee move will be used. Maybe AFTER a ton of punches has already landed. Boxing is perfectly fine for a street fight. Any well trained boxer wouldn't walk into a ****ing jumping knee Many people don't have a MMA background either. Punching works out fine since that's what most street fights consist off.

Yeah, flying knee isn't a punch or allowed in boxing. Yup, which is why boxing may not be not ideal in a streetfight. A knee to the head is the natural counter to someone attempting to take your legs out.
