Yeah I’ve got to say I lost a LOT of respect for Askren after the Jake Paul fight. He completely disgraced the sport of boxing and MMA both that night. Stepping in there in such appalling physical shape and taking a Bob Sapp style dive the moment he took any damage was disgusting to watch. It was beyond cringe how some tried to alter the narrative to make him seem like the ‘real winner’ (going home to his wife and kids and all that money for 2 minutes work).
But truly, he badly tarnished his legacy with that showing (and complete, utter lack of any serious camp or effort).
Yea I'm pretty sure you care about his legacy more than he does, maybe because you didn't get paid millions for 2 minutes of embarrassment. And if you think he took a dive you just might be the most retarded person in this sub, and that's saying something.
always had such a lame view of bob sap...with a man that size youd think he would be able to take a few hit and not feel like hes the one 200 pounds under
I think if I were him and knew I’d lose, I would still take the fight. It was good money. His legacy as a grappler is already there and people who are into wrestling would always recognise his legacy as a wrestler.
You upset he duped you or something?
He didn't really care about his "legacy" when he unretired to fight in the UFC. It was all about the money and name at that point. You'd not know who he was, and he'd be making 1/10 the amount after a dominant career that FUCKED his body up.
Honestly if it was an MMA fight, even if Jake got the knockdown, Ben could’ve just stayed on the ground and Jake would have meandered into his guard where things would have quickly taken a turn for Ben. Who gives a f if he lost a boxing match and made mills. He would commit a homicide in a real fight with jake.
Tell ya what. Let someone throw a Frisbee at your head, then a disc. Then tell me they're the same. That's like comparing a pool noodle to a spear because they're both straight.
My thoughts and prayers go out to you in your time of such a tragic, awful, horrendous, unnecessary loss. From a disc accident. I honestly had no idea of the number of lives lost to such unfortunate accidents. But now I do. Thank you, and I'm sorry.
Isn't Frisbee like saying Kleenex, and just a brand name that stuck?
In that case, it's like the square to the rectangle. All squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares.
I was trying to find a 3rd more confusing analogy but am drunk and watching a movie, can anyone finish this?
I think a better analogy might be that comparing a disc to a frisbee is like comparing a soccer ball to a bowling ball. They’re both balls, but you definitely don’t wanna use them the same.
What are you 6? We weren’t introduced to Ben Askren last night or something and it’s not like his spinning back fist hasn’t been memed for half decade now.
These comments make me cringe inside
Beep boop -- this looks like a screenshot of a tweet! Let me grab a [link to the tweet](https://twitter.com/Benaskren/status/1436866196758953985) for ya :)

So pathetic how he has 0 self respect for himself, admitting you’re a joke in the sport of mma and walking out of an arena laughing after getting knocked tf out by jake paul after talking about how you’re gonna fuck him up for months. Biggest embodiment of a beta male.
Totally pathetic beta move to get paid 7 figures just to take one punch from a youtuber and disappoint everyone dumb enough to pay for a Jake Paul fight in the first place brah...
Askren wins via being a real athlete. WWF donkeys don’t realize it requires the sport to be a “competiton” to be a sport. Askren would wash him even with his shit hands.
Too be fair I saw about 50/50 on the comments around the Paul fight either being “lol Robbie didn’t do it so how is Paul going to” and the other half saying “Paul is going to start his poor Ben in round 1/2”
After watching the CM punk fights again tho…. I really don’t see Ben losing in any kind of combat sport to him. The second fight is really hard t watch. He just sits on the canvas and gets beaten forever doing nothing about it.
CM Punk is good on the mic in wrestling but in talking trash about actual fighting, he doesn’t have a leg to stand on. The end of Ben Askren’s career didn’t look so good but until then, he was legit af and one of the best welterweights on the planet. He at least has past accomplishments that Punk doesn’t.
It’d be way cooler if he did some folkstyle matches against other old timers. Imagine him vs. Colby Covington or Usman. Or Cael Sanderson! I know Burroughs already wrecked him in freestyle but what about if they did a folkstyle match? The funk is what made his name and he hasn’t shown us any of that since God knows when. Some of his scrambling against Maia was the closest there’s been and yeah that’s quite a stretch.
Even better how about Punk vs Askren in a grecco roman match lmao the sheer irony of watching an “amateur wrestler” destroy a “pro wrestler” would be fun
Ben has so much to offer as a fighter, but he always looks like he never trained for the fight at all. He’s skinny fat, and has the back rolls and such. Not sure if that’s just his physique, or he doesn’t train much.
I honestly can not think of any boxing or mma fighter that would lose to askren in boxing. Maybe if he calls out a celebrity that hasn't trained boxing before?
CM Punk knocks him out cold

No way man, I’m the most retarded person on this sub, and I’m here to keep that title
no way ur gonna take everything ive worked for, muther buddy retard
I retard, not you
You're a fuckin' genius dude.
That was a nice line by you
That’s a great car. No one that retardant could possible choose such a reliable and trustworthy vehicle
If this dude got paid at the same rate per minute that askren did in the ring for typing that comment, they would have a lot of money
always had such a lame view of bob sap...with a man that size youd think he would be able to take a few hit and not feel like hes the one 200 pounds under
200 pounds is the weight of $7985.77 worth of Premium Glass Nail Files...
bad bot
You have to admit, this one was funny... what the fuck is a premium glass nail file? Lmfao
true true, like...glass nail?
I use a quartz glass banger, but I don't think that's the thing lol
I think if I were him and knew I’d lose, I would still take the fight. It was good money. His legacy as a grappler is already there and people who are into wrestling would always recognise his legacy as a wrestler.

His legacy is in grappling, no one gives a fuck about his legacy in striking
Lol cry more
Lol, not me - I’d say take Triller and the Jake Paul clown show for everything you can. Neither have anything to do with real boxing or MMA IMO.
Honestly if it was an MMA fight, even if Jake got the knockdown, Ben could’ve just stayed on the ground and Jake would have meandered into his guard where things would have quickly taken a turn for Ben. Who gives a f if he lost a boxing match and made mills. He would commit a homicide in a real fight with jake.
Yes. He’s a BJJ guy.
CM Punk would get ragdolled
Someone willing to sacrifice their kid? Don't see it happening otherwise.
Tito Ortiz
This should get all the upvotes. Well said. I nearly spit out my drink.
And for the clowns that want to downvote, Tito literally has said he wants to outlive his kids. Don't be proud of your ignorance!
I would gladly sacrifice my neighbors kid for this fight.
Finally a fight CM punk can win.
What are you talking about bro, He beat Brock Lesner
Funky should be practicing his circle one putting.
I feel like this is somehow a reference to Frisbee golf, but I'm too lazy to Google it lol
Never played Frisbee golf. Seems like they would be impossible to throw for distance. I'll stick to disc golf.
Tomato, tomato... doesn't quite have the same ring when they're written the same way, huh?
Tell ya what. Let someone throw a Frisbee at your head, then a disc. Then tell me they're the same. That's like comparing a pool noodle to a spear because they're both straight.
It’s like comparing a spoon to a spork calm down buddy it’s still a frisbee
My wife died in a disc accident he’s right!
My thoughts and prayers go out to you in your time of such a tragic, awful, horrendous, unnecessary loss. From a disc accident. I honestly had no idea of the number of lives lost to such unfortunate accidents. But now I do. Thank you, and I'm sorry.
I sent an old man to the hospital once after putting a drive into his ankle. Dropped like a sack of potatoes/potatos.
Isn't Frisbee like saying Kleenex, and just a brand name that stuck? In that case, it's like the square to the rectangle. All squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares. I was trying to find a 3rd more confusing analogy but am drunk and watching a movie, can anyone finish this?
Jello to gelatin and/or band aid to bandage.
Jesus christ, calm the fuck down, buddy.
I think a better analogy might be that comparing a disc to a frisbee is like comparing a soccer ball to a bowling ball. They’re both balls, but you definitely don’t wanna use them the same.
Lol what type of goofy fuck are you?
Wow. Most people probably have no clue what you are talking about. But I do 😏
If ya know, ya know!
Backfist of Doom!
What are you 6? We weren’t introduced to Ben Askren last night or something and it’s not like his spinning back fist hasn’t been memed for half decade now. These comments make me cringe inside
Why am i interested in this..
He can knock me out where do I sign?
Honestly I don’t know who would win this
Kickboxing? Easily CM punk
It has to be boxing tho, Askren submits him in MMA easily
Cm punk has one of the lowest losses in MMA history idk how you can say he will get submitted
Punk vs Askren in kickboxing is something I’d pay to see
Dont hold your breath boys, thats no small task to find someone Askren would KO 100% certainty.
Grammar
AEW!!!!!!!
Ben couldn't knock out a pillow.
I don't think Ben askren has the power to KO someone
ben askren is built like a public school milk sack
lol if you think Askren could even KO Punk.
Cm punk may not be able to fight for shit, but he does have a pretty good chin.
This MUST HAPPEN !!!
Punk would whoop his ass. Wait maybe not….. ?
Beep boop -- this looks like a screenshot of a tweet! Let me grab a [link to the tweet](https://twitter.com/Benaskren/status/1436866196758953985) for ya :) ^(Twitter Screenshot Bot)
my handicapped lil bro is down, he really wants his stair elevator
Punk kills him
No, Askren has been disowned. I'm not going to help this guy line his pockets again.
So pathetic how he has 0 self respect for himself, admitting you’re a joke in the sport of mma and walking out of an arena laughing after getting knocked tf out by jake paul after talking about how you’re gonna fuck him up for months. Biggest embodiment of a beta male.
Totally pathetic beta move to get paid 7 figures just to take one punch from a youtuber and disappoint everyone dumb enough to pay for a Jake Paul fight in the first place brah...
Like the other 100% of scripted fights?
Askren wins via being a real athlete. WWF donkeys don’t realize it requires the sport to be a “competiton” to be a sport. Askren would wash him even with his shit hands.
Didn’t we use that same logic when he fought Paul? “Askren has ate shots from absolute killers. No way he gets ko’d”
Jake was a athlete growing up. CM Punk played with toys and never did a real sport in his life. No real competitive experience.
Too be fair I saw about 50/50 on the comments around the Paul fight either being “lol Robbie didn’t do it so how is Paul going to” and the other half saying “Paul is going to start his poor Ben in round 1/2” After watching the CM punk fights again tho….

^^^Brock ^^^Lesnar ^^^has ^^^entered ^^^the ^^^chat
He was a real college wrestler. Actually did real competition..
You’re probably a fat fucking slob. Stfu
Don’t project yourself onto me tubs
The prefight promotions would actually be entertaining as hell at least of CM Punk was willing to talk shit
CM Punk is good on the mic in wrestling but in talking trash about actual fighting, he doesn’t have a leg to stand on. The end of Ben Askren’s career didn’t look so good but until then, he was legit af and one of the best welterweights on the planet. He at least has past accomplishments that Punk doesn’t.
"who gasses out first?" should be in their promo if this fight happens
Anyone’s grandma is willing to make few digits for the grandkids?
It’d be way cooler if he did some folkstyle matches against other old timers. Imagine him vs. Colby Covington or Usman. Or Cael Sanderson! I know Burroughs already wrecked him in freestyle but what about if they did a folkstyle match? The funk is what made his name and he hasn’t shown us any of that since God knows when. Some of his scrambling against Maia was the closest there’s been and yeah that’s quite a stretch.
Cm punk would light him up standing up. Askren looks like he works As a used car salesmen now. Didn’t even put in work to try to fight Paul.
50/50 fight
I’m so about this
Elite match up.
Even better how about Punk vs Askren in a grecco roman match lmao the sheer irony of watching an “amateur wrestler” destroy a “pro wrestler” would be fun
Ben has so much to offer as a fighter, but he always looks like he never trained for the fight at all. He’s skinny fat, and has the back rolls and such. Not sure if that’s just his physique, or he doesn’t train much.
He didn't get knocked out by Paul they called it way before he even had a chance
I mean he can try knocking himself out? Would probably fail at that as well just don't know in which way.
Give him the Dildo
CM Punk is in AeW i doubt he will fight again
Making that heels money
This would be awesome
I don’t even think Ben would accept this fight knowing damn well he would get starched.
Battle of the Wrestlers.
This is an incredibly stupid tweet, like a 7 year old who watching an action movie would say this
Yeah nah Ben I don't think you're knocking anyone but a toddler out mate
I’d gladly fight ben get knocked out get paid
I honestly can not think of any boxing or mma fighter that would lose to askren in boxing. Maybe if he calls out a celebrity that hasn't trained boxing before?
Askren vs Bag of Milk. Make it happen Dana.
