Kinda crazy but surprised the trade talks have never happened before. Could start a whole new thing now.

I think it's a fair trade off slight edge to the UFC, Mighty Mouse not that much of a draw and Askren has some good match ups available

and as soon people see Askren lay & pray his way to victory there wouldn't be anymore draw.
Mighty Mouse dethroned makes the Flyweight division the most exciting its been since its creation. Good chance we get some musical chair Champs.

I have to seriously agree with Bruce here.. It may be the first time, but he's 1000% right on this one

I thought Askren was pretty boring and just a lay and pray but he has been finishing fights, granted its not UFC caliber fighters but he has finished 7 of the last 9

Askren doesn't l'n'p. He doesn't need to because he's that confident that he can take his opponent back down that he floats on top and constantly transitions. Very fluid imo. Maybe he might start to out of necessity when he faces the best but I haven't seen it yet.

You've probably never watched any of his fights @mule lmfao

One Demetrious Johnson is worth 5 Ben Askrens.

Not if the metric is PPV points, and that's all that matters in the UFC ultimately.

Bruce is pretty much right. Askren won't be a fan favorite--not when he starts getting top 5 opponents, can't sub them and wins by very, very low-damage top control UD's.
Sadly he will still outdraw DJ regardless. The casual fans just don't give a **** about flyweights for whatever reason.

Askren can be boring in the cage, but he'll talk **** on that mic. That's the **** that sells fights.

That's actually a good point Alias. Sonnen Drew ( still draws) and he basically puts on the same borefests as Askren. ****-talking sells.

So because a wrestler with the 2nd best mouthpiece in the game can draw that means a half-deaf kid with a jewfro can? *** are you guys even talking about. Watch the vid I posted, Askren struggles with words. Couldn't sell crack to a tweaker.
Does Colby sell? Not really and @Fish you can't stand the guy....but Askren doing it is fine?

Ben Rothwell is more entertaining with a mic and he is now famous for 1 of the most awkward memes of all time. "****-talking sells" noo....."good" ****-talking sells.

Excited to see Askren in the UFC finally.
Can see the long time dream fight between him and GSP turns out hopefully.
vs Khabib would be great and grapple fest
vs Colby would be interesting to say the least
vs Maia would be a great BJJ vs Wrestling match up that would probably turn out boring
and real long shot hope is if Romero can ever be 185, that would be something that can be great, or Askren could get clipped.
Said to see DJ leave. Always been a favorite of mine. But at ONE FC where they treat the lighter weights like royalty, he will get the praise from the audience he deserves and the bank roll too.

Ben Rothwell is epic on the mic. A shame he's not around these days.

@Bruce I actually have no interest in watching Askren fight TBH. Couldn't care less whether he gets signed, and I'd rather watch DJ fight all day long. I'm just saying he likely draws more than DJ because seemingly nobody cares about Flyweight. I guarantee Cejudo headliner cards sell two fifths of **** all too if DJ does walk and doesn't reclaim the belt. If someone as good as DJ can't sell flyweight, then I don't know who can.
