Prediction: wrong MacDonald   wrong Submission   wrong Round 3  

I hope both title fights remain good for UFC 189 and aren't delayed for injuries.

Rory will become champion once Robbie slows down and becomes past his prime. Not quite yet though.

Who is an easier fight for Ben Askren, Rory or Hendricks? 

I'm thinking Rory would be easier for Ben.

Hendricks outwrestled Askren in HS competition. He's a strong, stout fellow. Add his power, I don't think Askren has too good of a chance.

Rory doesn't have the wrestling acumen, but he's good at everything else, so that could go either way. I think they both beat Askren.

Prediction: wrong MacDonald   wrong Decision  

Hendricks would be a grade or two older than Askren.  That isn't a big deal now, but remember how big the 12th graders were when you were in 10th.

Also Hendricks and Askren HATE each other, so you know it would be a good fight.

Actually Askren looks bigger than Hendricks when they wrassled.  But Askren holds his own, then gets demolished which could easily be attributed to less experience. It's fun to watch just because you know what becomes of these two.

Hard to believe Rory is only 25. With dat resume. Kid should still have a lengthy career ahead.

Who cares about Ben Askren?  He'll never fight Lawler or MacDonald.  He'll never fight any noteworthy opponent.

I think Askren eventually gets into the UFC. His fights are a lot more entertaining and he's been way more dominant. I didn't used to like Askren either (still not his biggest fan, but he's done well recently)

As exciting as Rory is, I don't think he has what it takes to be champion.

He mentioned on Rogan's podcast that he will be going up to 185, I'd like to see him go there.
