Ben has basically lost 3 in a row....

What does he do now?  Will he keep going?

 

Missed the fight as I'm working but it's a bit disappointing as I'm a big fan of his wrestling.

 

 

Not a good look for his brand on the MMA side of things. I know his wrestling schools will always be golden. 

 

I'd like to see Ben climb the ladder with some mid-level opposition personally

Robbie slammed him on his neck and knocked him out three times

Burroughs embarrassed him in wrestling 15-0

masvidal shortened his lifespan by at least 6 years

Maia reverses him in every exchange and choked him dead

 

Im a Ben fan but this has not been a good year

Gilbert Burns is always chirping him on twitter.

Gunnar Nelson or Li Jingliang?

RDA vs. Askren?

Lawler rematch?

Or another Florida goon in Platinum Perry or Niko Price

Was a pretty competitive fight with Maia until he gassed.

Nobody wants to watch this shit bag. He’s not a draw no matter how much you swing from his nuts.

Then how come so many people are talking about this fight right now?

He'll be a good draw as a headliner on the prelims. I think that's perfect for him and he could probably beat some guys in the top 20ish

JOB - Was a pretty competitive fight with Maia until he gassed.

Yet another point as to why he isn't top tier.

Ben is just so slow. Any of the top end guys who have explosive athleticism would make him take another nap on the canvas.

He’s a good gate keeper, but nothing more (never was). Not sure that it makes sense for him to stay in the UFC. He’s better off in Bellator or ONE where he can still get some wins.

No, he didn’t finish him. Ref jumped the gun.

damn!

You must have missed the Robbie Lawler fight. Askren won it. It was pretty exciting. 

 

This is basically a dumb thread. 

Didn't Ponzinibbio just pull out of the Lawler fight?

 

Why not do Lawler vs Askren II?

Moist Gracie -

Conor could make an interesting matchup, although not sure it works with the timeframe (Conor wants to compete soon - didn't see the fight, not sure how much damage) and weight. 

Youre basically an idiot. I didn't like Herbs call, but I understand why he did it. Lawler lost. You can "basically" all you want, but it doesn't change the result.

Askren looked good in that fight. He was putting a beating on Maia, exhausting him on his feet. It was a good fight and Askren has got nothing to be ashamed about.
