“What did I think of Tyron woodley x Jake Paul? I thought Tyron won, but Jake definitely earned my respect. I think a rematch should happen, it makes a lot of sense,” said Ben.
The former Bellator and ONE Championship champion explained the reasons that led him to believe in Woodley's victory and emphasized his desire to see a new duel.
“I thought Woodley won, I scored him 5-3. He was more aggressive and landed more critical punches, but Paul definitely earned my respect. I wanted Tyron to hit his head, but he couldn't. It was a very competitive fight and I think it's pretty evident that Paul worked hard for it. I think the rematch should happen because going from Paul's level to becoming world champion is a long way off. It makes a lot of sense and there is a backstory,” concluded Askren.
During his 10-year career in MMA, Askren spent time in major organizations such as Bellator, Strikeforce, One Championship and UFC. In his last fight, the North American was submitted by the Brazilian Demian Maia, in October 2019. The fighter hung up his gloves with a record of 19 positive results and two negative results.
