Askren fights the bellator tournament winners. You can't really hold it against him that no really good sprawl and brawl guys are winning earning title shots.

Askren seems to be pretty good, I mean he is a very good athlete, and nobody can seem to stop him... BUT, I think he should be moving up to fight higher calibre fighters.
I don't know why people would want to pay to see Askren fight, when his fights aren't against top level competition. I can put up with boring fights in UFC championship fights, because at least then, you know that a fighter is being given the highest level of competition possible, and that alone makes it interesting. If you're able to impose a boring but effective gameplan against anybody in the world, that's something to be somewhat proud of, but generally, at the highest level, you don't get that problem, because the highest level guys are more well rounded, and they also have more evenly matched fights. GSP is somewhat boring, but much more exciting than Askren, and at least he has the excuse that he's fighting the best challengers available.

Man, Askren's fight are SO boring to watch...

i agree completely, fighters relying on takedowns and small punches from top are maybe effective but extremely boring to watch, just compare this fight with tuf brazil fights- those guys go for it, knock outs submissions pure aggression, thats how mma should be

wish funky would power up his GNP

ben askrin sux, weak jitz weak striking, slow movement in general, only good cause they put him against people with average or worse takedown defence, put him in there with any wrestler who has developed there striking and hes ganna lose
