Rooting for Masvidal as well but I have a feeling Askren is going to win in an absolute snoozefest and a good rendition of a gay porno.
Askren grappling can be exciting if you appreciate that kind of thing. Plus a lot of the time he's beating the hell out of the guy and looking for subs. Although with a guy like Masvidal he will probably be content to control him.
Nah. He doesn't have any defence. Hands low, glass chin - recipe for disaster. Santos, Smith, Reyes, Oezdemir, Rakic and Walker - all hard punchers, going to knock out Rockhold if they connect on that chin. Rockhold needs his wrestling to win, he can't stand and bang, with that kind of defense.
Or utilize his kickboxing more. Or both. I'm just saying. With how poor the division is it wouldn't surprise me if he rebounded with some adjustments.
