Right
A "hell of a fight" ?? --Couldn't watch the entire fight. This guy is so boring...I wouldn't even rank him in the top 10 or even 15. All he does is eke out wins by using his wrestling skills against mediocre fighters...
Blanky Askren.
Hopefully he is either pushed by Lima and it brings out the best in him or he gets beat, e is wasting his own potential by not pushing himself.
"I think I'll have to grind him out" - says it all
Ben "The comforter" Askren will lay on top of him for the entire fight.
