Because he worked hard asf for it and grinding TH-cam himself being creative and moving away from his family to achieve his goals. Don’t be small minded.
@fastguitar I think it's because he didn't take the Jake fight despite being handed a contract, and also cuz hes only had 2 fights in 3 years and they're against people who were 2-3 or 2-4.
Are you kidding? He does have more to lose. He lost to 2 great UFC fighters in his last couple fights. However if he loses to a TH-camr by KO, that'll be devastating to his fan base and he'll lose all his credibility.
He actually does. Jake is a ruthless roaster and Ben is going to attempt to fire back at him, but doesnt realize Jake and all of his friends prepare insults for hours on end. He's gonna get roasted before the fight then knocked out. It's gonna be really bad and I like Ben.
Ben is going to clinch Jake round after round. He's literally made a career out of the clinch and take downs. Easy win by Unanimous decision, Ben. He'll actually be liked again for making Jake Paul look like an idiot
@@patstaysuckafreeboss8006 how isn’t he a meme striking wise? Will you say that to every analyst and ufc fighters that dohble as commentators saying Ben has worst striking in Ufc
Askren literally has nothing to lose, he's already a walking meme, and he's getting a giant check. All the pressure is on Jake Paul here in my opinion.
Good point, but for the most part it seems like Ben's business endeavors come from wrestling and MMA, so another devastating loss can kill all his credibility, especially loosing to a TH-camr like Jake who sees boxing as a hobbie.
@@orly3000 just my opinion but I feel like he has no credibility as a striker already. He's known for his wrestling and I don't think this fight, regardless of result, will change that.
If you think about it. If Ben train his boxing, he striking might actually improve because he actually putting work into it. This is a perfect opportunity for Ben to improve his striking for MMA. He still lose to jake though.
This is a fantasy many of us have lol. But remember, there are always way more people that never make it to pro. Because a fewer amount of people are smarter, understand things differently, and are tougher. But never forget they are smarter... Jake's moment of recognition is just as much of a fluke as Masvidal's flying knee KO.
Send jake a contract with mcgreggor saying that they both throw in 50mill winner takes all.. no other payouts just a 100mill stake fight and i bet you mcgreggors name will dissapear from his mouth nuff said.
Ben’s going to look sooo terrible. The fact that he won’t be as nervous as Nate makes him even more susceptible to being hit. This isn’t going to look too good for Ben man
Jake Paul: "I need to fight someone from the UFC to increase my street cred....Who holds the record for being knocked out the fastest in UFC history?".......
ben askren seems like a guy who doesnt give a f**k about his reputation, he wants the money more than anything else, he wants to talk trash before the fight to sell the fight but also to make it seem like he has no chance of losing, i dont think he believes in his own words 24/7, to say the least
Ben is being frighteningly delusional about this... yes, his argument of "I've been in the cage with much scarier and tougher guys than JP" is correct, but Ben, buddy, you could take them down... You didn't box them... This is very sad, because he's most likely going to get ko'd while bringing that horrible trash human JP more renown and money. Smh.
@@denimandlead7725 would've been interesting to see Khabib be on the defensive and defending takedowns for sure.

@@jaygamz113 have you watched any of his fights besides Masvidal , Lawler and Maia? Don’t think so Ben was undefeated in one and bellator Was an OLYMPIAN Get real
Yea, Jake fought Deji and struggled with Deji's power, so it'll be interesting to see how Jake handles Ben. For sure Ben is better than Gib and Nate Robinson. He can take a punch and he at least has a boxing stance. That's all I got for compliments
Honestly it’s going to be embarrassing for “Mma” and “Ufc” if Askren loses but I’m happy he will hopefully be making at least a million dollars or more
Also if askren loses, Paul will gain so much confidence and notoriety that he will end up getting a match with a killer in the fall/winter and get stomped
Na not at all. Askren is a wrestler and an abysmal striker, retired from MMA and when he finally made the move to the UFC he got knocked out so hard his soul left his body and ascended to meme heaven. Two words come to mind when you think of Askren: wrestling and meme. His loss will have no impact on MMA.
@@christiangjerpe1506 he retired in November 2019 so that’s 14 months ago. 1 year and two months. He retired at the end of 2019 and it’s the beginning of 2021 so it’s not 3 years it’s a little more then 1 year.
If you look up videos of "Ben Askren Striking".. you will get an idea how this fight will benefit Jake Paul.... 🙄 He chose Ben because his striking is really not that much of a threat. Not disrespecting Ben, just saying he doesn't excel in that category. Even his "TKO" wins don't really showcase much striking ability.
Ben usually focuses on submissions and wrestling. He’ll actually concentrate on his striking ability this time. Also this is the first person jake has fought who can actually take hits
Get real!! Ben Askren has been in professional combat sports all his life fighting against some of the best fighters in the world. Jake Paul has had two fights. The only advantage Jake paul has is Youth and speed. Let's think about this.......
I did, I boxed my friend in hs junior year who boxed his entire life. I never out on gloves in my life. He made me see stars in less than 2 seconds and we stopped it there LMAO.
Ben seems like an alright guy. This fight is a way for him to get in shape and secure some bag for his family. Plus he gets the Privilege of being able to legally punch Jake Paul👍
He's taking it as it'll be a shed load of cash for an easy fight. I hope he takes his time and gives Jake Fool the arrogant idiot a slow beating so he really gets a real fight..and Chandler v Oliveira for belt winner fights Dustin.
@@thomascambrion4408 which is better than most of the ufc fighters on the roster. I’d say he made more fighting Dustin than Dustin has made in his past 2 fights
@@phx1512 did u not watch him get mauled by Lawler and not get knocked out? Yeah Masvidal blew his brains out but that knee would of knocked out an elephant
lets be real... this is strictly business. Jake paul is fighting anyone and everyone EXCEPT BOXERS. Anesongib is not a boxer. Nate Robinson is not a boxer. Ben Askren is not a boxer. And the worst part is he is overhyping his "boxing" record by fighting these wet wipes instead of fighting a brand new pro boxer or someone who actually has a career in boxing. The minute jake paul steps in that ring with an actual boxer, he will face uncertain doom.
If Askren loses, we'll have to hear about Jake Paul for another year calling everyone out, and we'll all have to see this on our social media non-stop for a year. If he loses, his brand will still be bigger than ever and we'll still be hearing him call people out for another year or his brother will want to "seek revenge" and they'll play that dumb storyline. Regardless, all of us fans lose. Everyone should be blacking this out. No one buy the PPV, no one watching the streams. Nothing. No watching media mentioning Ben or Jake talk about this fight. I won't watch any MMA media cover this story anymore from this point on. NO viewership whatsoever. Get the torrent afterwards if you must. Whatever you do, help bring those viewership numbers down.
@Lobo King High risk, low reward imo. Paul will just find another way to get into the spotlight, or they'll play the "brother must get revenge" marketing storyline. Dude, we're talking about him right now. What we really need is a keyword filter on here, then hopefully the media will get the message.
@@charles-antoinecote7177 A 36-year old wrestler with a fresh hip replacement that has never KO'd anyone, let alone boxed in his career? And coming off of two big career losses--one of which he was the laughing stock of the world? Dude, stop. I like, and respect Ben, but he has never been a striker, let alone boxer. I'm pretty certain Logan Paul has more boxing experience than him.
When you stand to box in a ring, you just worry about 2 fists punching you. When you stand up to fight in a cage, you worry about, 2 fists, 2 elbows, head kicks, body kicks, leg kicks, flying knees, take downs, submissions. It’s a different approach. It’s gonna been interesting to see what the outcome will be.

Have you seen him throw punches lmao I don’t like jake Paul but tbh I hate Ben more
Well like they say all press is good press so win or lose he’s good
@@ThisGuyWithTheShirt lol ya I’m pretty sure not all press is good press, there’s definitely press that can stain you in a bad way forever
"Id never been rocked " hmmm the Robbie Slam and subsequent attempted murder makes me doubt that .
Being slammed on your head and being rocked by a clean punch are very different
@@Whitewolf1991 well yes and i would never imply otherwise but " i was never rocked before the masvidal fight" is a straight up lie
@@Whitewolf1991 bro after the slam he went to sleep and robbie brought him to back to life like 2 times
Robbie Lawler Jake Paul, spot the difference
@@Mikamichae Jake Paul doesnt come into it. im pointing out how Askren is incorrect when he says he was never rocked pre-masvidal
This is the fight we’ve “Ben Askren” for
Hahaha stoooopid!! I actually laughed
I see what you did there! Haha
Bruuuuh
How funny if Askren got injured and they did a last minute replacement with NGANNOU 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lmao
Y”all are just tryin to kill this man at this point
😂😂
Then Jake Paul's soul to his body "Bye Bye"
@@servingandswerving4106 who doesn’t want him to get the most savage beating possible?
If Ben “grandpa” Askren knocks out Jake Paul I will truly be content
He’s only 36 grandpa?
@@churro4569 doesn't matter age
Second that
He made Damian Maia look like Muhammed Ali
I would say he was beating Maia is the stand up it was competitive
@paul smith no lmao he got choked out an put to sleep
Hahaha
Plot Twist : Askren accidently trips into Paul's Knee at the very beginning of the round and KO's himself.
Broooo😭😭🤣🤣🤣
Underrated comment 😂
That’s some Scott Sterling stuff right there, haha!
@@fourbirdsstudio9288 studio C 😂😂
“I’m great at not getting hit” yes Ben, because you wrestled them. There are no takedowns in boxing
Hugging 🤣🤣
Nah he can wrestled jake
Bro did you forget about clinching lol?
Did you forget they break it up immediately??
Please take a bet against Askren and lose your money. People are delusional
Honestly it’s going to be embarrassing for “Mma” and “Ufc” if Askren loses but I’m happy he will hopefully be making at least a million dollars or more
I think he'll get around 5 at least
@@worldofstaline9812 lol no...
Also if askren loses, Paul will gain so much confidence and notoriety that he will end up getting a match with a killer in the fall/winter and get stomped
Na not at all. Askren is a wrestler and an abysmal striker, retired from MMA and when he finally made the move to the UFC he got knocked out so hard his soul left his body and ascended to meme heaven. Two words come to mind when you think of Askren: wrestling and meme. His loss will have no impact on MMA.
@@kaarmanyachadha1376 yes he will dude...
For the young kids watching, November 2019 - January 2021 isn't 2 years.
😂😂😂
19-20-21..that’s three years actually😁
@@christiangjerpe1506 he retired in November 2019 so that’s 14 months ago. 1 year and two months. He retired at the end of 2019 and it’s the beginning of 2021 so it’s not 3 years it’s a little more then 1 year.
@@enzocaronna8735 Christian was joking bro lmao 😂😂
@@HeyItsKora lmaoo aight
He is always so positive grate guy
Aye if Ben loses, Ariel ain’t ever talking to him again lmaoooo
I think the entire MMA community would shun him 😂
🤣🤣
He's talking to Jake ,soo he will
Let's go🏴
Now you have the moral obligation to win Ben. If you get KO'ed by Jake i will hate you forever goddamnit
Weird thing to say.
Lmao
I dont think ben cares
@@thomihs weird but fair.
Ben is gonna smash him. He's a olympian
If you look up videos of "Ben Askren Striking".. you will get an idea how this fight will benefit Jake Paul.... 🙄 He chose Ben because his striking is really not that much of a threat. Not disrespecting Ben, just saying he doesn't excel in that category. Even his "TKO" wins don't really showcase much striking ability.
Exactly
Oh look it‘s the dude with the dying channel again - trying to promote his lame trash
Keep posting these generic comments
Ben usually focuses on submissions and wrestling. He’ll actually concentrate on his striking ability this time. Also this is the first person jake has fought who can actually take hits
@@bigmack2654 u mad
Yh but Bens been training MMA for years which includes boxing compared to jake who’s been fighting what... two years
Get real!! Ben Askren has been in professional combat sports all his life fighting against some of the best fighters in the world. Jake Paul has had two fights. The only advantage Jake paul has is Youth and speed. Let's think about this.......
“They call me mystic mac cuz I predict deez tings”
“The Notorious” Benjamin Askren
"DC said im going to lose", "i thought he was a friend!?" - i feel kinda sorry for him at this point!
Dc was just being honest
@Kemohr Sesay a friend has to be honest. But he could also persuade him to only take fights where he has the ability to use his streghts
"Ever been in a boxing match?"
"No...." sigh
I did, I boxed my friend in hs junior year who boxed his entire life. I never out on gloves in my life. He made me see stars in less than 2 seconds and we stopped it there LMAO.
@@MobileAura well he wasn’t much of a friend if he tried to f you up with the first punch he threw lol that sounds really weak to me
@@MobileAura
Get new friends
@@MobileAura was his name charlie zelenof?
Askren has a great attitude. Huge respect for him. F+k the haters

you’re killing me w that wrong your man... but i love it
I genuinely like Funky. Seems like a cool dude. always honest..dont take himself too serious
ive met him before, just a cool guy. meme bs aside.. hes respected by everyone who knows the sport of fighting
I like your name - jack jackson👌
Also I agree
@@Jackwyldes thank you Mr. Annnderson
I agree. He's a nice guy and judging by most of the comments underrated which suits him just fine
Ben seems like an alright guy. This fight is a way for him to get in shape and secure some bag for his family. Plus he gets the Privilege of being able to legally punch Jake Paul👍
This needs to be top comment
I just hope he doesn't lose.
He's taking it as it'll be a shed load of cash for an easy fight. I hope he takes his time and gives Jake Fool the arrogant idiot a slow beating so he really gets a real fight..and Chandler v Oliveira for belt winner fights Dustin.
Ariel Always seems like he’s trolling, even when giving compliments 😂
You noticed,lol agree.
He is a snake
Haha
He has a bad character
"In my 19 fights prior to Jorge, I took every single person down." Ben you cant take people down in boxing buddy.
Yup. Quite worried that Ben being over confident again juz like when he fought Jorge. Miscalculated and finished embarrassed.
last time he talked about an opponent this way... 🤔🤦♂️🤷♂️
I was waiting for ariel to say something along thoughts lines but I guess not
His response and lack of knowledge of boxing is troubling!
19:04 he’s making more than he’s ever made for a single fight smh Dana still robbing these fools I see.
Google "UFC 257 Payouts" and it's sad how little these guys get paid...except for Connor McGregor, I think Dana treats his fighters pretty bad...
@@jonday6102 Conor gets screwed over too... He'd be making hundreds of millions in boxing but makes tens of millions in the UFC
@@thomascambrion4408 which is better than most of the ufc fighters on the roster. I’d say he made more fighting Dustin than Dustin has made in his past 2 fights
He is getting 7figures
@@thomascambrion4408 Only 10's of millions? Poor guy. It's so unfair how they treat him...🤦🏾♂️.
Ben has a chin on him. Just imagine if he actually knocks Jake out💀
His chin was shattered to a million pieces by masvidal, stick to watching jake pauls make up videos fool
@@phx1512 did u not watch him get mauled by Lawler and not get knocked out? Yeah Masvidal blew his brains out but that knee would of knocked out an elephant
@@robbiekinsey1337 Doesn't matter man that Masvidal knee will have significantly affected his ability to take damage. Especially at his age.

The fans voted for jake to fight him
@@darkshadow8557 the fans on some weird drugs to think this is a good fight why not bisping
@@iiTzLurks idk but I remember he put a Twitter poll asking who he should fight it was KSI Dillion danis and Ben askren
braindead take
lets be real... this is strictly business. Jake paul is fighting anyone and everyone EXCEPT BOXERS. Anesongib is not a boxer. Nate Robinson is not a boxer. Ben Askren is not a boxer. And the worst part is he is overhyping his "boxing" record by fighting these wet wipes instead of fighting a brand new pro boxer or someone who actually has a career in boxing. The minute jake paul steps in that ring with an actual boxer, he will face uncertain doom.
Imagine just imagine Ben knocks Jake out 🤯😂
It would be incredible
Can't even imagine it
Very possible.
Imagine jake knocks Ben out !
@@NabeelGm very likely.
Ben is an awesome character.
I literally hope Ben wins for the doubters. Even tho his stand up is worse than a 4th graders
Rooting for Askren HEAVY
LFG BEN
"If you slip the left, you'll eat the roight" - Ben Askren
A legend once said that
Turteen seconds its gonna take
And right before that he said “I’m the face of the fight game!”
He also said:
The trud hurds
Never forget, Ben has fastest knockout in 5 seconds. Record is a record.
Robbie rocked him sooo hard Askren forgot about it!
Ariel: "I'm older than you"
Ben: "Congratulations"
"DC SAID IM GONNA LOOSE" made me laugh too much
"I'm pretty good at feeling situations"
Masvidals knee: "I felt that"
Meh, people get lucky.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Yeah I still think masvidals would have won but that ko was lucky
HahHHHahahahahaha fuuuukkkkk you got me rollliiiinnnn
I got him losing 😂, that “ he’s just a TH-camr” mindset will get him knocked out
"Masvidal is no trouble, I'll just lean in and get the ta......"
Fight clock is brought to you by Modelooooooo
@@66taa15 hahahahahahahahahahah
For real it’s giving me nate Robinson flashbacks
If Askren loses, we'll have to hear about Jake Paul for another year calling everyone out, and we'll all have to see this on our social media non-stop for a year. If he loses, his brand will still be bigger than ever and we'll still be hearing him call people out for another year or his brother will want to "seek revenge" and they'll play that dumb storyline. Regardless, all of us fans lose.
Everyone should be blacking this out. No one buy the PPV, no one watching the streams. Nothing. No watching media mentioning Ben or Jake talk about this fight. I won't watch any MMA media cover this story anymore from this point on.
NO viewership whatsoever. Get the torrent afterwards if you must. Whatever you do, help bring those viewership numbers down.
@Lobo King High risk, low reward imo. Paul will just find another way to get into the spotlight, or they'll play the "brother must get revenge" marketing storyline. Dude, we're talking about him right now. What we really need is a keyword filter on here, then hopefully the media will get the message.
But if Ben win. He will regain redemption for his latsest knockout
@@charles-antoinecote7177 A 36-year old wrestler with a fresh hip replacement that has never KO'd anyone, let alone boxed in his career? And coming off of two big career losses--one of which he was the laughing stock of the world? Dude, stop. I like, and respect Ben, but he has never been a striker, let alone boxer. I'm pretty certain Logan Paul has more boxing experience than him.
@@ClientSmash If Ben KO's Jake his ego will take a massive hit. This kid might be off TH-cam for months or even a full year.
If Ben wins the internet has to agree to stop posting jorge memes to his social medias.
Bens striking is equivalent to the strength you have in that dream where you can't manage to really punch the person you're fighting 😂
But that's against super elite, world top 20 opponents, not against a youtuber who has never had a real fight in his life.
When you stand to box in a ring, you just worry about 2 fists punching you. When you stand up to fight in a cage, you worry about, 2 fists, 2 elbows, head kicks, body kicks, leg kicks, flying
knees, take downs, submissions. It’s a different approach. It’s gonna been interesting to see what the outcome will be.
@@myAutoGen in mma you're striking is very different from boxing, ben's was a hybrid style that he used just to close distance, so he could show up with a boxing stance and with a decent jab, ya never know
This dream is all too familiar...so frustrating
