How could anyone dislike Askren?

5 ko wins is decent for the division he is in. They rarely get those 1 punch ko victories (joe rogan has mentioned that). This is the issue you all just keep mentioning Khabibs overhand right against connor and are saying thats what makes him a good striker qhen apart from that he has done nothing else. Leon Edwards has stand up majority of his fights and outstrikes his opponent. Youve all mentioned his overhand right but who has out striked? Answer is nobody, 1 overhand against connor is all people have mentioned.

Leon has elbows on the clinch, great striking off both stances etc which he utilises every fight. Khabib has 0 kos and most fights there is limited striking if any.

Khabibs standup is not top 10 in the division.

Why i mentioned Israel takedown defence was to show you can be champion with some area of your game missing..eg doesnt need wrestling he has TDD. Khabib doesnt need striking he has good defence and wrestling.
