    He's damaged goods fragile now.

    He should take a year or two off if he doesn't have bills to pay

    Yeah 6 months or so off. Then a soft touch before trying a big name again. Dhiego Lima(Douglas Limas brother) would be a good opponent for him next time out.

    Kevin Lee dropped down to LW again. How long is Perry out for? That nose looked horrible. Yeah that fight goes one of two ways. Either Perry flattens Askren early or gets taken down and dominated.

    The ease Maia was able to reverse Askren showed he also had a massive strength advantage, Ben could possibly drop to LW but he would get his head put into the 3rd row by guys like Gaethje etc

    Lol whenever I think of wrestling My mind always conjures up images of Askren and Sonnen in leotards and funny ear muffs.Not a good look is it?
    Khabib has somehow made his version of sambo,wrestling and mauling glamorous but Askren man has always been awful to watch.
    It does seem that MMA has evolved so much that being good at one thing doesn’t cut it anymore.Im thinking of Wonderboy with his high kicks,McGregor with his striking and Askren with his wrestling?
    Something very satisfying seeing guys like Michael Page and Ben Askren get humbled.

    Lol having now see the fight it looked like they were fighting under water or something?Has he always been that slow or has Lawler and Masvidal ruined him?He was so bad and so slow it made me think I could beat him after a few pints lol.

    I don't think Ben belongs in the UFC... The Dan Severn years are over and Ben can't box..

    To hell with BumBen. He's done. He even got his ass-whooped by Lawler when he won. I think he's 0-2 in the UFC. Bottomline is I'm taking Nate over Jorge.....
