Ben Askren gets destroyed by YouTube celebrity Jake Paul

[ShoulderRoll]

Humiliating for MMA?

MMA fighters are masters at playing grab ass. Throwing hands is not something they know how to do very well. Prime GSP, Silva even Jon Jones would get KOed by the YouTuber

Pretty much.

I think it just showed how pathetic of a fighter Bumkren really is. I don’t even say that guys name cause he just copied Chael’s whole persona and tried to run with it like he was really a good fighter.

Some dudes really need to stay in their lane though. You know you can’t box, don’t take the bait, and sit quietly. Nice little payday for him though. Probably more money than mma ever got him at one time.

just shows how delusional mma fighters can get.

Askren is hyped up trash with one lucky win and two devastating losses in the UFC.

Askren looked real fleshy, like he barely trained.

Nah.

To MMA guys Ben's boxing wasn't respected as is so I suspect its not surprising to anyone who put any thought into this fight & wasn't just rooting for Ben cuz he was a MMA peer. Ben was an amazing wrestler & tip top level at MMA wrestling, but he had horrible boxing/standup.

Not to mention Ben had fooking hip surgery in September & no one mentions that at all hardly.

Yea I doubt he put much time into it. I liked his lil Rocky montage video on Twitter to hype the fight, but I suspect that day making that video was his 4th hardest day of training for this fight.

Honestly it reminded me a lot of a lower level of James Toney vs Randy Couture in MMA. James was there for a check & so was Ben.
