On the other side, Askren has been an elite grappler in his entire MMA career, and he barely relied on his standup game to beat his opponents.

Yet, he is a veteran in the combat sports world, and underestimating him might cause cosmic problems for the ‘Problem Child’.

That said, both the fighters bring in a certain amount of skill sets in this bout. And it’ll be exciting to see who among the two can overpower each other and add a sublime ‘W’ to their name.
