Nah this actually won't be hilarious like most people think, the only reason why conor seems super witty, is simply because he's gone up against knuckle heads who say dumb shit when given a microphone, this always show's conor opportunities to say something ''clever'', you see Conor is only as good as the people he's against, this is why when he fights someone who's better then shit, like nate or floyd, you realise conor has no dynamite in his hands at all like loads of people used to think, same thing will happen when going up again ben, ben is actually super witty which is why he's the most popular right now with the fans by miles, and when Conor tries to take the piss out of him, he's not going to be taking the piss out of a knucklehead, he's going to be taking the piss out of someone who can easily fire back properly, and then conor shall get ruined verbally.
What you mean that makes no sense there’s so many people in the ufc and they all different. Askren doesn’t belong he’s a weak fighter. I mean come on he got lucky. He squeezed a dudes head for his life as hard as he could and he has no hands. He’s done after his next fight can’t get lucky twice
Sal Vastola all y’all stupid. Robbie’s slam was way harder and he put that bitch on his head. You know he barely made it out that fight by squeezing a dudes head like come on pussy shit also he got so lucky herb dean fucked up and called the fight. Say what you want herb dean is a good ref and he knows he made a mistake also the president of the company knows there was a mistake. But you would take the side of a dude who knows nothing about mma. And no he’s not 19-0 in the ufc you’re a dumbass to even try to compare what he’s done to the ufc is stupid so nice try dip shit he’s had one fight, he tried to wrestle the whole time got slammed on his head, got his face beat the fuck up and got out wrestled then jewed Robbie out his win by squeezing his head and a refs mistake. How can y’all sit here and say he can beat Darren till no issue? Y’all stupid as fuck
When Connor canuse along everybody wanted to be Connor, this is definitely refreshing in that sense. Ben is Ben, not trying to be anything other than that. And the UFC does need that.
BEANO THE GREAT id like to see him fight he should have lost that last fight and got a controversial win now he wants to fight till... till is a joke who got brought up on nothing
One of my favorite things he has said is when a fan said something about him looking like a couch potato and he said isnt it amazing that i look like this and i am a world class athlete.
@Dread Man he survived a brutal beatdown, showed his heart and got lawler down..whether it was a fast stoppage or not..lawler wasn't going anywhere..he was done.
@Dread Man he was caught with a one in a million slams...if they fought a hundred more times, that slam would never happen again..askren made a huge mistake, when going for the takedown...even with all that...lawler still couldn't put askren away...sure, he came close..but if he hit askren with bombs, and askren survived and within a minute later, he had lawler down...ASkren doesn't want to fight him again, cause he wants to keep going forward...by fighting lawler again, you're stagnating...It's obvious he doesn't want that...but that was a great debut...you kidding me....he came in and took lawler's best, who's a top ranked guy, and still came back...
Ben Askren is great on the mic. He doesn't get offended, he's witty, funny, and he is obviously having fun. Ben doesn't need to get wild and perform over the top crazy antics to sell himself.
His awkward mom was onstage too. Thanks ESPN - more leftism please... can't wait until you ruin the UFC like you've ruined everything else you get near.
Alagander ur a bitch boi. That likes boring ass fighters. He’s a complete ass hole. He talks shit and yet has done Fook all to back it up. If lawlor gets his hands on him again he is fooked.
@@TimboTbagz lmao dude got pissed cause you called him out when the joke went right over his head. His response showed showed his lack of confidence hahaha
well till was the main event and they are all there to see him, ben is just the sideshow (how be it entertaining asf) to till in this instance. He went to swim in the shark tank and adapted pretty damn well if you ask me.
Yeah it's odd, I couldn't listen all day but I dont skip over him anymore. The guy is interesting, intelligent, and he has a ton of confidence. I do think he should work on his hands tho lol
askren is the ultimate good sport... so many personalities, across all sports, would have not stood for any of that, at least participated. ultimate respect...
ClamBuster4 he played the heel in college wrestling too. He’s well versed in scathing banter and knows how to ride the line perfectly. He did very well up there.
@@mixedmartialnutrition1746 Lol people like you crack me up. The only thing Mcgregor is the king of is A running from fights and B getting rear naked choked...... which is arguably the easiest choke to defend.
Rockford Solids his outlook? He calls himself a competitor then refuses to finish his first fight in the UFC. What outlook is that, quit halfway through anything you start?
@@mishmash3968 His approach to the game is what I was referring to. He doesn't take the media side of it too serious and has fun with it. Not sure what you are referring to with the quit halfway thing. The guy has a ridiculously great record and has proven himself over and over against the world's best competition. He even took out one of my favorite fighters in Lawler in what was a good stoppage. If you have any actual experience fighting you would have recognized that.
@@deuceph i did watch him on rogan bro... what i like about him is hes a trash trash talker with a personality... not like the rest of the so called trash talkers who just insult other fighters and their family's just to sell a fight.. ben is just a genuine bloke and i hope he goes a long way in the ufc....
@George Harry i agree 100% mate... i thought when he got slammed that his ufc career was short lived but he adapted and overcame and submited a legend in robby lawlor... id like to see him and mia go at it
Which is why his star is rising so fast, meanwhile Stipe who is on paper a character straight out of a tv show- Dedicated father and husband, Championship prizefighter, fireman who should by all means be a star only wants to give 2-3 word answers at pressers and wonders why he doesnt get big fights or isn't a big draw.
@Pap Lol nah Ben has integrity, Conor would just put on a mean face and talk shit to sell fights it's super obvious to tell especially now after khabib humbled him, I respect it though by all means get the bag💰 Askren is just a real genuine dude
i blame Till using basically the same formula as Connor when he started claiming he is Great and all that only Connor delivered when it mattered and the game is at a higher level now post Connor
Props to Dan for bringing Joanne in to the questions where possible. Must be hard as a fighter to have sit back and watch 1 person, askren, take all the limelight. Good to see him looking out for her.
Underrated comment. And so fucking true. Askren doesn't give a shit about all these people and what they have to say...they don't mean shit to him. Even if the whole UK died..he wouldn't give a shit. Reality is any publicity is good publicity. And money is loose in this fight game
ALL HAIL VEGETA - the prince of saiyans wow, calm down bro no need to bring death into the equation. And just for the record the UK doesn’t hate Askren, most the comments made to him here was banter.
Ben likes talking shit but it's fun more on the level of Chal and not crazy like McGregor. As long as Ben keeps winning we should ride out this funky train as far as it goes.
its better than Chal. Chal is a steryotypical Frat Douch, Ben Askren is a guy, who could be chill with anyone, but certainly not everyone could be CHill with Ben. hes more ofa working mans speed.
Same at first I thought he was annoying calling everyone out but then seen his personality, he has wit and his trash talking/self promotion is incredible. He brings a new style of trash talk not a Conor wanna be like everyone else.
@@jordanwiser2997 to be fair he only got hit on the ground after the insane takedown. If he can avoid that (I assume he can) he has a pretty good chance. Avoiding Lawler's standup and then taking him down paints a pretty good future for him.
morelli tech it’s amazing peoples thoughts on fight.. regardless of it potentially being an early stoppage BA did survive the early strong strikes of RL.. RL allowed himself to be in that position PERIOD
You're saying that Ben was lucky and stuff , but you say no word that Ben was in trouble after a very lucky slam in first place. He threw bombs on him, and he ate these like a champ . Props to both fighters , but let's move on guys .
@@jordanwiser2997 Why would you think that when robbie landed everything he had and he could not finish him? P.S i love robbie and ben i am just curious why you would think that.
I love Ben Askren such a real guy with real American wrestling skills. The fact that he doesn’t act like a tough guy shows how tough he really is, Askren vs Khabib make it happen UFC
@SJW HUNTER I dont agree man and heres why. He fought Lawler and got almost knocked the fuck out. Dude got slammed on his damn head and got a flurry of punches to his face and still got up and controversially won. He can take a punch. I dont think he will get KO'd easily.
You got to like him after that Lawler FIGHT....he was getting MOLLY WHOPPED. Whether it was early stoppage or not, to be in tjat position with that choke after that onslaught was the shit
What Ben doesn’t realise is that he’s gaining a lot of fans in the uk due to his good witty comebacks and banter, i think he’s a tad overrated as a fighter but he’s arguably the best on a microphone at the moment
They aren't looking for the next McGregor ben is his own man and leaving his own legacy he has a laugh but doesn't bash you verbally as much as McGregor did to get in your head ben is just having fun
@@chowderman43 You, some keyboard warrior troll, calling Dan Hardy a pussy? Dan, a guy that fought in the UFC. A guy that wasn't afraid to fight a monster like Anthony Johnson (granted he lost but he wasn't scared to step into the octagon with him). A guy that went all 5 rounds with the greatest welterweight champion of all time in GSP. An anonymous dipshit like you is calling him a pussy? You'd never say that to his face. You'll never know what it takes to achieve the level of success he's achieved in his professional career, so don't go running your mouth talking shit like you're fucking Fedor Emelianenko (the living legend) in his prime. 🖕
Even if she had a championship fight, it was very silly to have her up there two. Ben is like the UFC side show. Everyone wanted this. Make another interview for her. It would be actually way better for her to have her own time. I suppose it was good exposure. Now she has a thing ...the girl who stood there with the cool accent!
@@madk2798 Nah Canadians are alright, you could have a good laugh with a Canadian if you are a Brit, you could with an American but some of the humour will go over the top of their heads, Canadians get it
RicardoD957 yeah i agree canadians are like the cold version of australians haha they arent too different to brits, i think a lot of people have no idea though cos theyve never left their back yard
Can't help but like this guy. Unbelievable fight with Robbie..never seen that ending coming. He's doing exactly what Connor did for the UFC, just a totally different angle.
Ha Ben is a class trash talker and likable guy at the same time without going crazy! He's such a humble dude, i hate wrestlers but askren is unique hope e whoops ass!!
Yeah the UFC needed Ben. Him and Till both know how to talk trash without crossing the line into illegal hate speech and violence. I love how Till respects his opponents, and isn't afraid to pay them a compliment. Askren is good at not taking things too serious, and being damn funny.
@@chowderman43 Stop talking shit about Hardy when all you are is a keyboard warrior troll. Hardy fought in the UFC. He had the balls to fight a monster like Anthony Johnson. He went 5 rounds with the greatest welterweight champion of all time in GSP. Until you've at least reached Hardy's level of success professionally, don't call the man a bitch. You're the real bitch by anonymously calling someone like Dan out. Because you'd never say it to his face. Go eat a bag of shit! 💩🖕
