I was surprised Askren even volunteered.

Looks like a cruiserweight. Let Glowacki get a piece of him

Lol Askren was a bum beater most of his career.. he stepped up to the UFC and got koed in 5 seconds then subbed and retired

[SN!PER]

Damn... Jake pussed out.

He fears that spinning whirlwind move straight out of Street Fighter.

If he gots a bigger name I get it. Beating a name MMA guy even if that MMA guy gots no hands moves up Jake on the Q score & therefore money ladder, but there are plenty of random names out there that could be bigger. Or Ben might be wanting more money than folks are willing to pay. Anyone know how much that YT guy & Nate made as the B sides? Might make UFC pay look amazing idk.

Probably means he’s looking at bigger money fighting someone else. Askren’s not a likable guy and he’s not a striker. The MMA world probably wants him representing them as much as the NBA wanted Nate Robinson to rep them. I’d actually root for Jake Paul over him.

Nate was probably the best guy to rep the NBA since he was known for his hands and knocking a player out in the brawl, I think people are just having hindsight with him.

Askren got concussed his last 3 fights. This may be interesting.
