Comments Thread For: Askren: Jake Paul Fight Had Little Significance in My Life. Why Was Public So Interested?

Askren has a bad mindset. He ignored striking his entire career. Got blown out three times in the UFC, despite one of them being a win.

Askren has some big mental deficits. Jake Paul is a celebrity, thus the public is interested wtf.

I don't think he cared he showed up in terrible shape was just there for the paycheck. Mario Lopez broke down all crazy behind the scenes stuff that was happening at Triller and as for the knockout said Dana White offered to pay Askren for all his training so he could beat Jake Paul but that Askren showed up only for 3 days training to prepare for the Jake Paul fight

To be fair that knee probably left him with permanent brain damage.

The public was only interested cause they wanted to see a big keyboard jockey fight a smaller and fatter nobody. Who wouldn’t want to pay money for that? LOL

Hope paul fights another mma guy

I will say this, he did look fat. He no business fighting at cruiserweight, had a hip replacement surgery and was told not to do any physical activity for a year, so he couldn't go all out in camp and fought only months later.

But...but Freddie Roach said he had all the tools and hits hard!

We all have our reasons why we found your beating and humiliation a delight. My reasoning was to laugh at MMA fans ( again. ).

Anyone who looks at that setup and shot and says Jake Paul can't box...I don't even know. Same shot that Wilder uses.

Reddit was going crazy beforehand saying Paul would get handled - and I told them repeatedly that Askren would get starched.
