One interesting thing about this in his suspension now Dillashaw wants a fight against undefeated boxing icon, Floyd Mayweather Jr. as he got a whole year to reinvent himself to be a boxer and to train himself with the Lomachenko's, this is what he said in the interview with Ariel Helwani's MMA show, here's a link if you just want to read it.

https://www.mmamania.com/2019/11/27/20985371/tj-dillashaw-wants-floyd-mayweather-fight-after-ufc-suspension-expires-mma

Well, I guess that will be an intriguing fight but I want Floyd Mayweather Jr. the one to adjust in fighting the MMA way, and pretty this much a topic like this can give us a hint if this may progress, but because of the next fight will be next week December 8 the UFC in ESPN 7 Thiago Alves VS Tim Means news like this might give a shot to the public.

I like news like this one, it brings something different and not just talks about rematch or revenge. I don't know who is going to win between Rumble and Francis if they ever fight but I'm pretty much certain that it is going to be a knockout.

Rumble and Francis are power punchers and everyone expect this to go out in the first round but if you look at the historical fights all the hypes fights usually ends up been boring as i was very much looking for the Derrick Lewis and Francis fight as i thought it will be action thrilled but everyone knows what happened as it was a record breaking fight with less punches thrown in three rounds, despite saying this i would like to see the match up.

Getting tired of this this Nick talking about not happy with Jorge "baptizing" his baby brother Nate.

For the Nate clan everyone is their enemy and they will challenge him once again and even Nick Diaz will come out of retirement to fight Jorge Masvidal or Conor McGregor. The Diaz brothers are the real super stars but the UFC never gave them the big stages they deserved until recently with Nate and Nick headlined some cards in the past and he is not fighting after the suspension he got for weed which is crazy.

Quote from: bbc.reporter on November 20, 2019, 08:57:27 PM

I speculate that his return fight might be versus Francis Ngannou.

Rumble Johnson and Francis Ngannou are a dream match but i do not think that we will see that in the return fight.

If getting popular was the motive Ben Askren was more than popular throughout the world even before he came to the UFC and the fans wanted to see his skills being tested inside the major organisation and the fan requests made Diana White change his decision and allow him to fight in the UFC but i was unfortunate to see him loose two matches in a row and fighting is not easy and there is no easy fights in the UFC for top stars.

If that isn't the case then the popularity was already have been taken but he is more popular right now in my opinion, and his career in UFC had taken him to another level in my opinion now that he has proven his skills in Martial Art then I guess he is on to a new career he can sure take showbiz a try or just a regular entrepreneur or business, well losing is part of life and he needs to take that in and pretty much accept that fact.

Fixing is not a new phenomena and throughout history some of the top players have taken money from bookies and lost matches, honor is secondary when it comes to money to many people as it is just a sport and not a life and death situation but fighting is different as you cannot fake fighting and still there are notable scandals in fights too.

Well even if it is not a thing I am just saying the possibility but It is not my intention to take this seriously and I guess Ben Askren is a man of moral that he would not do something like that and I like that in this reality fighting pretty much you can not fake it.

Strange, that the nearest UFC even will be only December 7. 3 weeks gap between events.
Fighter received holidays?

There are too much events to follow and i am glad that there is a break right now which is great do that there will be some interest when there another event, last two fight cards i was not even interested to watch the fights live, but there are some great fights coming up in December and January.

Try to watch the reply and you will hear how hard that knee hit the head of Askren. See how his leg twitched while he is trying to recover. Boxing coaching knows that bad and it will have a negative impact, they may not see it for now, but maybe 10 years from now Askren will feel the side effect. I don't think its worth it to flop like that just to promote any crypto asset.

The rumor mills will start running and all the accusation might be from WWE fans who have seen their athletes take bumps and still coming back, if you watched the fight there is no way he could fake that knee and the consequences he will be having later in his life, might be getting headaches, Ben Askren was good at avoiding any huge blows to the head and he never got punched in the face until he fought in the UFC. I know this started as a joke but then it was a brutal joke Cheesy

I will have to give the edge to ORTEGA in this one and I read he is the opening favorite
This fight card is not for another month out so we should focus the attention on the ones that are sooner

No way... Korean Zombie is clear favorite here for me.
It will be good fight anyway.

I posted it because most of the current fights are boring for me now.
I saw it confirmed on Twitter and I posted it here.

Thinking that the KO'ed was on purposed I then now imagine that the fight might be fixed and Ben Askren really did ask Masvidal to plop the fight by KOing him in a faster way by just setting this record in history, Well Ben Askren motif will be just popularity, in the impending future of his plan to make Bitcoin revolutionize,

But in my opinion Ben Askren will not make this kind of rukus, and Masdival will surely not tolerate a fixed game himself and there is no honor in doing it.

This is one hell of a crazy imagination, fighting can lead to permanent damage and no one in the right sense will go inside the cage to create a record Cheesy

, if he did it for purpose then you are implying that both the fighters knew about the end and match fixing a grave accusation Wink

. Ben was planning to win the belt in the UFC and try to become the only fighter to hold the championship belt around the globe and become undisputed champion which gives him more popularity and not by getting defeated.

Rumble Johnson is in the news. We might have a new heavyweight champion on December 2020 if he wins his opening fight for his return in the UFC hehe.

I speculate that his return fight might be versus Francis Ngannou.

Anthony “Rumble” Johnson has a plan for his return to the Octagon, and it’s short and sweet.

Johnson has expressed interest in returning to the UFC. Back in 2017, Johnson announced his retirement following a second loss to then-UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier. “Rumble” is now shooting for a spring return in the heavyweight division, although now it could be pushed back to summer.

Having a plan of action is rarely viewed as a negative thing but when it’s as terrifying as Johnson’s, many of his potential opponents may choose to take a powder. Speaking to The Mac Life, “Rumble” made it clear that he’s looking to rearrange some faces (via MMAFighting.com).

“We have to meet with the UFC some more,” Rumble said. “We have to go over things and just figure some stuff out but it’s all looking good so far. Nothing bad. I don’t want to put my foot in my mouth and say too much but everything’s looking good right now. I’m not worried.

“I was trying to shoot for April/May but maybe June/July. We’ll see. But whenever I come back I’m going to make sure it’s known. I want to come back and showcase everything and fight and just hurt people.”

Ben Askren wanted to test himself inside the UFC and wanted to create history but he got in the record books for all the wrong reasons and the record for the fastest knockout will stay forever as it is not easy to break that record and in reality Ben got knocked out before that but the referee took a couple of seconds to call the fight off and that is why we have that 5 seconds. Ben is a smart investor and he was the most vocal MMA fighter when it comes to bitcoin investment and i liked his trash talking skills as it was fun.

Pretty much Masvidal had got that good impression regarding that 5 seconds Knock out and Ben Askren will pretty much had the bad taste in it, but that is how it does, And Joe Rogan said that he counted 3 seconds but the officials had stopped the fight during that 5 seconds count but yes that record is way too difficult to beat, But pretty much Ben Askren will be surely missed and regarding if he has good future regarding cryptocurrency well let's just wait because he will surely need many patients in cooping up with it.

I bet Ben Askren is promoting the site Etoro in this tweet, he knows how to make waves and the reason i do not fully believe what celebrities say is because they will promote anything for money, there is no debate that Askren is a crypto enthusiast but look at the way in which he promoted the site in which he purchased and i wonder how much money they paid him to promote them in social media Cheesy

Quote from: eaLiTy on November 19, 2019, 06:58:49 PM

He made a lot of money outside the UFC and he is not a wild party junkie to spent all the money he made, he made wise decisions and invested in real estate and other ventures and he is a financial explorer and so is the reason he invested in BTCitcoin and i met him personally when he was contracted with OneFC and visited Dubai for a promotion and he was a cool individual back then and now he started a Bitcoin podcast called Funky Crypto.

Pretty much he is a business minded person but in a real estate business I guess he got a big net worth up to date, but even though he is very vocal with the cryptocurrency investment, and just like you said he just want to try out UFC but in my own impression over him this is just one point that he enters UFC but in getting popularity as well, So he can venture i his investment using his name, well just my opinion just by looking.

Pretty much he is so vocal about buying Bitcoin with Etoro and pretty sure he got plenty of response mostly negative but I like this one pretty much, it is 80% real I am saying this because of most market on Altcoin is a total scam project, So I am saying stick to a limited number only that has potential,

Ben Askren just announced he is retiring from MMA because of his hip issues
that requiere from him to perform hip replacement surgery!

All the best to Askren.

Bummer... The UFC would've been better with him around (and successful)... Imagine him trolling the likes of beasts like Khabib and Usman. Cheesy

And the trolling on Dana as well. Grin

@SaShiRaJaVu - he faced tougher opponents in UFC and I would say that he had been exposed or it is just the injury that really forced him to retire. I guess with his BTC investments, he really know that next year will be big so rather than forcing his body to fight, he will probably sit around in the next six months and watch his BTC wallet, Grin
