Askren is probably gonna have to be a bit more conservative on the ground in the next round
That was really sloppy although his crazy wrestling and ability to create scrambles if he gets in trouble mitigates that somewhat. Hornbuckle has really slick BJJ and is lightyears ahead of Askren standing up. Askren is probably 100% to get him to the ground but is still probably a +250 underdog.
Not afraid to nitpick
saw the replay
i know nothing about mma, but ben had about 12 minutes of ‘riding time’. just didn’t let the other dude do much. hope he does well- seems like a good rep of mizou
also, he seems to have figured out that the more you hype the fight the more money you make
