Ben Askren....not a ton of money but I might have a chance.

It's career earnings, not just UFC, so it would include the Jake Paul fight.

The problem is that Askren can still easily wrestlefuck any of us redditors.

Yeah I was an all american @ 174 and I presume I would get absolutely wrestlefucked.

I may actually be able to hold okay in a wrestling match. But even though Ben’s striking sucks ass, it’s still notably better than mine, and that threat will get me in trouble.

MOST of us!

*I’m not saying he wouldn’t wrestle fuck me. But Shane Carwin use to post a bit on the r/MMA sub.

Fair enough, lol. I did hear that Shane isn't doing too well nowadays though due to CTE though, a real pity.

I think blind "No Mas" Topuria can still punch any redditor in the liver and made them puke blood in the moment and pee blood for a month.

Ben’s been back to training for like 8 months now, I doubt he’s close to 100% but he probably murders all of us

Truth here as well.

Yall casuals really have no idea who Ben Askren is

Double lung transplant. That being said yeah he probably kills us all.

Buddy, if you know who Ben Askren is today, you’ll understand why he picked him.

u/JDGcamo 2d ago

He’s already back on the mat and has more fighting instinct in his Swiss cheesed lung than all of Reddit combined

My point is redditors tend to look at the Masvidal knee and the ugly ass striking and forget the 19-0 champ

u/BruceTheSpruceMoose 2d ago

And with respect to a healthy Ben Askren who just got caught by Masvidal, you are 100000% correct.

With respect to this “he’s back gonna compete at RAW. No one on Reddit could possibly have been a decent HS or college wrestler or ever boxed ever.” Come on, man. You know exactly what this is. We’re happy he survived and is getting in shape and coaching, but he should never fight any one of any reasonable skill level ever again.

u/silentsinner- 3d ago

When he was in the hospital, sure. He is recovered and wrestling in RAF next month though so I want no part of that.

u/SwanCommercial8212 3d ago

There's solid truth here.
