Prediction: correct Askren   wrong Decision  

I don't remember what fight it was, but i remember during a UFC card Askren tweeted 'this is more boring than one of my fights.' I just like how he knows everyone hates watching him fight, so he does the same thing he always does.

It's not that big of a deal that he's boring, that's what he does, and he's a great wrestler, but for someone like GSP with incredible talent in all areas to do the same things over and over again, that's when it becomes frustrating as a fan.

But at the same time there are fans out there that complain if 2 guys are going back and forth with transistions on the ground, some fans only like stand-up because its more exciting, Personally, I love the ground game, and the more educated you are in something, the more you can really enjoy it.

Prediction: correct Askren   wrong Submission   wrong Round 3  

Koreshkov's cardio was noticeably slowing as the 3rd round went on against Lyman Good.  Good took his back in the 2nd and flattened him out with both hooks in and again had his back in the 3rd.  This being the same Lyman Good that Askren mounted all 5 rounds in their match.  If the fight goes Askren's way, I don't think he'll fail to capitalize on the numerous opportunities he'll have like that before 25 minutes is up with such a grappling gap between the two, even if decisions are his MO.  I think Askren gets a stoppage.

Does anyone think this fight isn't ending with Asskren via 50-45 decision?...




Probably not, and it will probably be a snooze fest like every Asskren fight.

Until somebody can stop his takedowns or submit him, Askren wins every fight in Bellator, for a long time.

I think he can finish Koreshkov, but the safe bet is to stick with a DEC. IMO

I fell for the Russian Hype train early on but remembering the massive grappling gap i'm going with the tried and true Askren way of winning: decision
