This is Ben’s best performance since coming to the UFC.
Lmfaoo
That's funny man haha!
Boom. Roasted
OOOHHH
💀💀💀
lol Askren committed to that.
He was deep into that 😂
I like how Ariel played detective with questions 😂 then fell for it hook line and sinker 😂
Askren was sharp in the convo.
Steven definitely lol
@Peter Smith This right here is major key didn't appreciate how slick a playoff this was in the moment but reflecting on it now you too right
When they pranked Jorge Masvidal it was even funnier and way more awkward
Nah, it would’ve been funnier if he stuck with the joke but he immediately said “no he’s not really my father” .
It was weird and funny.
That was Chase Hopper too?
Who cares about your opinion tho
@@yoseyjess88 yes
Bruh Ben was selling it so well I like properly started to believe him when he was describing it even though I knew it wasn’t true
Same haha
Haha same here
@Saiyan Prince We can tell because 1, we're seeing in the title that he's pranking Ariel. 2, we see it's Chase Hooper for enough time that even Ariel says "I thought it was Chase", and 3, we're specifically looking for his non verbal cues. Ariel has none of that info. That and Ben being a good liar, no wonder Ariel believed him
Like his non ufc career
@@branlopgar I watched this live and you didnt notice it at all.
Plot twist he actually is his kid
Not gonna lie, I was fooled by this lol
Ben's super embarrassed and just lied about it being a prank lol
Honestly idk
Ben felt ashamed of having another son lol
😂
Freaky indeed!
“Uh, I think he wants to be an engineer...”
💀
To Ariel’s credit, he did initially ask Ben if that was Chase. Always go with your first instinct people.
...unless it’s wrong.
@@seanmatthewking or you're OJ simpson
@@HardmanAudio omfg 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Unless you're Ben Askren fighting Masvidal
"Your gut will never lie to you,... but you will lie to yourself"
Man how was Ariel more convinced that Ben had a kid at 16 rather than it was just Chase Hooper pranking him? Lmao.
To be fair, it's pretty weird for Chase to randomly be at Ben's house, without this video title I might have needed to pause it and compare with some pics of Chase to make sure, lol
@@DizKord1600 ya these fighters are from all over the world and states
Alot of my cousin were born when their mom was like 13 or 14
@@bluecheesewithwings2105 that's gross
@@ChewbaccaOnDrugs1130 It is. But it happens. I had two of my cousins (and both are sisters, for bonus points) having their first kids at 15 and 17. It's not good, but it happens
omg Askren's Wikipedia has been updated with this "fourth" child too LOL.
Ariel is an editor for all UFC fighters wikipedia's lmao
It was edited 10 mins ago... he’s back to 3 kids :(
Amazing
@@seanmatthewking I just looked, it still says 4 to me
It’s true and it say April 17 2020 that’s great all over a tweet say good job son and he replied thanks dad and where have you been haha
Ariel's brain was firing on all cylinders trying to figure out if Ben was messing with him 😁😄 I'm dying.
@PED GSP Lmao. Wow, I'm trying to imagine being as Sad and unhappy with life as you. But it's bringing me down. Have a good day at the library, on your 39th birthday, lol
Joshua M. No kidding
Ariel’s eyes lit up thinking he had a scoop lol
@PED GSP jesus bro lighten up a little bit.
@@dragos1858 Can someone fill me in on what happened?
Probably the biggest success of MMA troll in MMA history, and will be remembered
Askren is really a cool dude😆
No way this beats Tony Ferguson Matt Serra prank call 😂😂
🤣🤣
The only thing he is going to be remembered for is getting kneed in the face. No one is going to remember any of his wins.
@@strongbone9471 anyone who isn't a casual viewer of MMA knows Ben had a successful career
"Sean's the teenage son that's too cool for his dad." 😂😂😂😂
Why doesnt Ben have a job at ESPN, as annoying as he can be to some people he's actually pretty funny I miss having him around
Because he isn't relevant to mma , only college wrestling
Ben & Chael!
Dude I love Askren so much. You should listen to Flowrestling Radio Live. Bens great in it.
@@robertstump6012 Are you actually this stupid?
Because your relative killed him
Dang this was funny but after Ariel finds out he has a 4th kid in his 20 he goes straight into Ariel helwani mode and starts firing questions being all nosy and being a detective. It was quite fascinating to watch.
Thats why he's my favourite MMA reporter. The guy is so passionate about his job and he's not scared to ask the questions everyone wants to know
@@patstaysuckafreeboss8006 yeaa that's what reporters do
@@pedro55845 yes but most reporters wouldn't go that far over a father and son relationship but Ariel just had to know it's just what makes him Ariel.
@@elderassassin9673 He has a personal friendship with Ben, and most of the fighters he interviews. He's a nice guy
@@pedro55845 this prank wouldn't have worked on 95% of the MMA reporters because they just would have moved right along back to topic but Ariel was like I have get to the bottom of this I have to know. It was funny to watch.
Ben kept the story going😂😂gold
Is that the guy who told Jorge Masvidal "Why did u do that to my dad"😂
Yes
You don’t know who Chase Hooper is?
@@spencer9003 oh my God what a casual am I right!!!!
@@dogeatinghomework so? It's not that big of a deal. Cut him a break
@@axios525 im joking man
Ben has a kid at 16..
"They don't call me Funky Ben for nothing"
Lol
@Skafut Nickfutnick we got Kevin lee over here
I demand Askren and Helwani three times a month for the rest of Ariel's short existence at ESPN!!!!!!
Same
Is Ariel leaving ESPN?! Or am I just being as gullible as Ariel lol
Ariel’s not going anywhere, he’s the golden nose, personally I like the Schmo more because he doesn’t instigate, keeps a level of integrity, and still does excellent reporting.
@@trinity3422 ESPN should definitely hire Schmo to do some reporting on the side
Michael Brown no they shouldn’t, shmo is a goof
Ben Askren has p4p the guiltiest grin of all time
He always has that grin. It's the aspergers grin.
Lol true :D
Judging by his striking, he probably is at least training with Ben
Hahaaaaaa
after his last loss, i can confirm this is true
Ariel is the most gullible journalist of all time
He did say is that chase tbf. Its weird the guy is there. You gotta take it at that. And Ben did a great job at lying.
Naw, Askren just played it off super well.
Bro he's just following askren's game.
That's cute...you don't realise it's set up.
It scares me that people don’t see a bit in plain sight
This just shows how amazing Ben is on the mic, or just talking in general, he sold this so easy just off the dome and Ariel completely bought it.
Ben was enjoying that too much 😂😂😂😂
Ariel went straight detective mode ! I swear his nose got bigger while asking those questions. Lmao
Askren is quick on his feet. He came up with a solid sounding answer to every single one of Ariel's questions.
Fr. Especially the question about where he went to school
Ben Askren went RAWDOG at 15. 😎👍
With a fat girl
Only lasted 5 seconds too.
@@architect617 amazing comment
Joel Novick 😂😂 greatest comment of all time
@@architect617 I heard it was 3 seconds but it took 2 seconds to pull out.
This was brilliant 😂😂😂
Ben: I had a son when I was 16
Ariel: hmm this story gonna get some hits let me drag this out
Ben: sike you been pranked
Ariel: 👁👄👁
👁👃🏼👁
How did he drag it?
*gets even more hits than if it was true XD
@@koclay9193 lmao bro I was going to make the same joke 🤣🤣
@@koclay9193 lol he actually looks just like that
I hope Ben never leaves this world. Although Masvidal sent him to the shadow realm, I’m glad he’s made his way back.
I’ll be honest, I’m glad Ariel has an eye appointment tomorrow. 😂
And ears to be fair, that voice of chase is so recognisable.
Ariel is either a good actor or the most gullible person ever
good actor...
Yeah looking at his face he clearly knew, you can see him holding back a smile the whole time Ben is pranking him
@@Abdullah-ec4ns ~ for sure, Ariel is pretty good natured, he even went along until the end and said 'yeah Ben, ya got me there' ..haha when he knew all along it was a prank!
The latter
A good actor lol he did it for the content.. played along very well
Ben sold it A+
Chase Hooper might actually be Ben's son
This is the funniest prank man, I love this Askren guy
2:32 Ariel goes to grab a hand full of hair to only realise nothing’s there
😂😂😂😂😂
No one:
Not a single soul:
Ben and Chase : "GOTEEEEEEEM"
I legitimately said "Hey look, Chase Hooper!" at the beginning of the video. He sold that story so well, I was actually questioning myself. Well done Ben 🤣
“Not (annoying) at 20”?.. just wait Helwani. Just wait. 😂
Chase Hooper looks like the kid from "Never back down", he finally made it to the UFC:)
Yooo that’s so true bro 😂
Askren just keeps going with the questions xD
This was 1000 times better the second time I watched it. Omg I'm dying 😂
How old is ur oldest son?
Ben: I got 4 kids.
Needed a lil bit of time to think of a good number
ariel's reaction is so pure and cute. we love u ariel
Hilarious, Chase Hooper... Crazy
That was real smooth. I'm still shocked at how well it worked. Hooper only showed himself for a split second just enough to make Ariel doubt his eyes.
"I'm sorry he walked into the camera so fair game" 😂 Helwani is the best
Got more respect for this guy having a kid at a young age and sticking around being a dad
Chase didn’t need to pop his head in, I could already tell from his voice LOL
We love ben!! Espn or ufc needs to hire this guy part time!!!
Ben knew Ariels curiosity with get the best of him! Always with the questions 🤣🤣
This was better than his performance against Jake 😭😂
Ben's poker face is prime 😂
Boom roasted
I'm over one year late, but...this is so good. 😂🤘
I love Ben from day 1 in UFC and I am happy that he has a strong mental
Perfect performance. Properly done prank.
Chase is 5 feet away trying not to die laughing
Lol Ariel was soooooo fascinated 😁 thinking he was the FIRST person to know about AND introduce Bens unknown son lol
Ariel staring at the camera is scary af
Whenever askren laughs it so funny his reaction and then the laugh lmfao
"Not when they're 20!"
Ariel in for a surprise if he think kids aren’t assholes once they turn 20 lol
TH-cam Handle 😂😂😂
@@youtubehandle1398 HAHAHAHAH THIS IS TRUE
Chase actually looks like Bens son lol.
Askren has the best poker face ever lol.
Chase hopper and sean o malley being ben askren sons
"He's still my boy!"
- Askren after chase hoopers last fight
I mean
Wait
I thought chase hooper was a reporter lmao
Lol I love how he's so quick on his toes about the questions
Ben has the best poker face ever
Bro, Askren straight faced that so good.
LMFAOOOOOOOO BEN IS A PRO AT KEEPING CALM I WOULD HAVE BEEN DYING
Ariel is a good actor. like actually
How can you keep a straight face Ben? Thats awsome, making up his background on the fly😂😂😂
Ariel starting to do the DC face wipe thingy lmao
"We spent 10 minutes on that" lol🤣🤣
LMFAO Ben is such a troll, I love it
Lol 🤣🤣🤣
I never thought Ben Askren was such a great actor. He was really calm when Ariel initially didn't buy his lies but he stayed calm and he was pretty convincing, lol
He got him good
CLASSIC ASKREN...
Hahahah you can see Ariels 'scoop gland' pulsing
How did he fall for this? "I thought that was chase hooper" 😂😂😂
king of pranks
Love or hate Askren...the guy doesn't take himself too seriously. Gotta respect that.
Askren is quick on his feet with those answers trying to keep it going lol
That was gold, pure gold.
“ wow Ben I didn’t think you were such a gangster”
xD LOOOOOOL
Auto generated caption: I killed when i was in highschool.
"He throws a bitta disc golf" lmao
You always know you got Ariel off guard when his voice starts crackling
I can’t tell who enjoyed this more😂 this was hilarious
'is this awkward right now?' lol
Lol love this. Ariel took it like a champ. Good form boys
Askren committed to that more than he committed into Jorge's flying knee
Hilarious
Oldest joke in UFC history
Ben commits man same way he went for that takedown on jorge too much commitment brother 😂
3:55 Close your eyes and I swear you'll hear Jerry Seinfeld speaking
Lol askren is a fool. Love him
“ You are gangsta to have a son at 16 years old “ 🤣🤣🤣🤣
He's got chase in his basement 🤪
Ben askren: he wrestles a little bit
Chase hooper: *Mixed martial Artist*
The fact that Ben sounds the same when he is lying as whenever else tells me he's a smart man and good
It’s ironic how he says his “son” isn’t a wrestler, but in reality is a UFC grappler
Can someone edit Chase to be Bens son on his wikipedia page because I tried and I couldn't figure out how to do it, thanks
Tim Terrell yea?
