What are Ben Askren's weaknesses?

Seems slow and non-explosive compared to Khabib during chain take down attempts.

Seems to have no punching power standing or on the ground.

No kicking game.

No real submission game (self proclaimed black belt?) and questionable submission defense.

These are huge holes.

Diet, conditioning and age are all a bit suspect as well.

Strengths are obviously wrestling and mental game. But can he overcome the weaknesses to be champ?

False narrative.

“No kicking game”

Scissors.

He'll never touch a belt in the UFC.

Khabib would maul him on the ground, and anyone that can beat Woodley would have the skills to either keep it on the feet and starch him, or submit him.

standup is sufficient

 

 

 

Appears to carry more power and stamina standing in the Championships round than some of the so called striking greats in MMA. He could conceivably Cormier/Miocic GSP. 

Cre, 12 month screen name bet if he fights GSP or Khabib. Are you really ready to stand by your man?

No punching power?

???

Let us dance vato.

Yeah, even in those highlight clips he’s throwing arm punches - has he ever stunned anyone standing or on the ground with 1 shot?

I really like the guy and as Conor McGregor has showed, mental game despite glaring technical deficiencies can go a hellva long way. But UFC belt? What do you guys think?

Cre is just trolling. Should tell you everything that he is ducking a SN bet.

Ahh, ok, makes sense

And his fight with Luis Santos makes me feel like he has absolutely no answer for the sambo/judo takedowns that Khabib does sometimes. If that was a judo match he would have been ipponed like 4 to 5 times by being thrown flat on his back in that first round. As our President would say: Sad!
