“I think this is going to be very one-sided. I think No. 1, for starters, I think he’s got cardio that’s not too great. I think we saw that in the Rick Hawn fight and even in the Brent Weedman fight. We saw Weedman win the third round. He definitely gets tired as the fight goes on and we’re in a five-round fight,” Askren told MMAWeekly Radio recently.

“Secondly, he’s got decent wrestling, but if I want to take him down, I’m going to take him down, and I want to take him down, so I will. That’s just a fact. Then No. 3, I don’t think he’s very good off his back and that makes for a really bad match-up for him.”

While their title fight is only a few days away, to hear Askren talk about Hieron, he doesn’t even really believe he deserves to be there. To get the title shot, Hieron beat Brent Weedman and Rick Hawn in back-to-back fights, both ending in very close decisions. Askren could argue he didn’t win either one.

“I think what irks me the most is how arrogant he’s being after his last two decisions, which a good majority of people think could have both went against him. I’ve heard a fair amount of people say Bellator fixes fights because Jay Hieron won his last two fights, and yet he’s so arrogant and thinks he’s better than these guys, but he should just be thanking his lucky stars that he got both those decisions.”

 It will be Very one sided if Jay connects....

Or it will be a one sided cuddlefest.

^^^ yep was just going to say it may be a one-sided blanket fest

Been looking forward to this since that BS decision. Hieron is gonna get hugged to death.

Also, it is nice hearing a champion talking about the bogus decisions that have littered Bellator. This is seriously one of the reasons I don't want to watch the promotion these days. It is pretty disheartening to watch a guy bust his ass to get to the finals in a tourney or to get a title shot, just to watch as the other guy celebrates his BS victory and basically stealing 100k out of his pocket.

 Askren talks WAY too much shit for somebody who hasn't made any waves.

Askren is the next Chael Sonnen but better Phone Post

ABE FROMAN -  Askren talks WAY too much shit for somebody who hasn't made any waves.

Undefeated champion in minimal time. I would say he is doing pretty well thus far. Phone Post

This guy is a douche Phone Post

I am not a fan of either one but I agree with Askren that Hieron is lucky he got gift decisions in his last 2 fights Phone Post

Askren is going to rape-fuck jay, but that isn't going to make him punch any less like a girl. Practice those verbal skills for your post-fighting career maybe as a commentator. You are going nowhere in top-shelf mma. Solly, cholly. Phone Post

Askren's takedowns are amazing to watch. He just never stops moving and seems to wind up on top no matter what.

He's an Olympian. He knows what he's doing.

It's true. Askren has embraced crosstraining from day 1. He is not going to be ahead only to get tapped like Sonnen has in so many big fights. Phone Post

Jay hieron lost too hawk it was a pretty bad robbery. Askeren wanted hawn at least his judo and ground game would be competitive hieron will get subbed inside of 3 rounds.

I like hieron but he back peddled and ran from hawn(which is okay if you land more and better shots.) but he didn't hawn dropped him a few times and out landed him controlling the whole fight.

Askeren hawn is the matchup we all deserved. And askeren is just being real. If you can't beat his style you suck. Learn how to wrestle bjj babies. (I love bjj) this is mma get good at it all Phone Post

What did Daniel Cormier say? "If you can't get off your back, too bad." Phone Post

Best way to put it. Phone Post

Is a great striker going to stop punching you in the face just because you suck at striking? No way.

So I don't get why people get mad at wrestlers for wrestling.
