Give or take 15-20#, but yeah, roughly....sure. Phone Post 3.0

Kind of hard to be intrigued by something that isn't even possible.

They both walk around at roughly 175 Phone Post 3.0

Askren belongs at 155 and there both monster grapplers Phone Post 3.0

If I wanted to sleep I'd watch Kennedy-Bisping again.. Besides your definition of roughly is roughly off.. Phone Post 3.0

That would be an awesome match up, I'd love to see it play out. I think Askren would win with more top position time, but Khabib would make the takedown game interesting. Khabib wouldn't have the huge strength edge he seems to have on most lightweights and I think Askren is the superior technical grappler. Phone Post 3.0

I'd say Khabib has the advantage in the clinch and has unorthodox TD's, but once it's on the ground Askren has some of the best top control and his transitions are unorthodox. Phone Post 3.0

Depends. I think Ben's the better grappler. I think Khabib's better in the clinch. I assume the Jackson plan would be wall n stall with some dirty boxing mixed in. Phone Post 3.0

I don't get the jokes, they are close in size, is anyone seriously debating this? Phone Post 3.0

Not that this fight will happen but eagle by tko. Askren ain't got shit for stand up and I don't think he would be able to wrestle Khabib like others he's fought. Phone Post 3.0
