You’re damn right. It was fkn embarrassing indeed.

Was one of the few who thought you would’ve brought him deep with experience and made it an ugly but effective fight.

you looked nervous and that annoyed me.

But in all seriousness, he obviously has a solid right hand.

Will be interesting to see if he takes on anyone who can crack back.
that’s when it all changes

well. At least he is honest.


What was his purse anyone know ?

He didn't let me down. I expected nothing from this shapeless MMA cave man with no boxing skills and a dad bod.

Certainly no shame in getting knocked the fook out by one of the best fighters of the generation.

It says in the article that Askren was paid $1M. That should help with the feelings of ridicule and disappointment.

I dont know what the **** outcome he was expecting. He was obviously being brought in to be made an example of. Terrible representative for his sport.

Everywhere says 500k plus ppv shares so where did you get this 1 million from?. Jake got 690k plus ppv shares.

Askren looked good as well. I had him ahead at the time of the stoppage. All that hard work he clearly put in to get in shape... you could tell he wasn't just there for a nice payday.
