“So I give him you know hats off for him for doing that. But there really isn’t anything that you can substitute for time spent. I mean, like time spent inside the actual octagon, actual cage. And you know Ben Askren is like a lifelong competitor, as like combat sports. I don’t know, it’ll be interesting to see,”

Past few months, both Askren and Paul have painted wild shots against each other. The pair shares a cosmic beef and is ecstatic to settle the same once they meet each other inside the ring.
