He's the truth. Love when the high-level MMA athletes (with wrestling backgrounds) mention him as one of the greatest to ever do it on the collegiate or international/Olympic levels. Some of the best current wrestlers in MMA are the likes of Daniel Cormier (recent double-champ in the UFC), Ben Askren (from Bellator and One ... coming to the UFC soon), Darrion Caldwell (Bellator), Tyron Woodley (UFC champ), Aaron Pico (rising star in Bellator), etc.

I hope he stays with Bellator and has a great career like Michael Chandler. Have some title reigns and make his name in the sport. So many years ahead. That first pro loss was a weird one - getting caught early. He's been way better since. From the sounds of the TJ Dillashaw clip earlier he's the toughest guy he trains with. They currently train with Juan Archuleta, Cub Swanson, etc. TJ's been around Team Alpha Male, Duane Ludwig's students & other wrestling gyms. Good to have a UFC champ vouching for you. That quiet, humble confidence from Pico is what you want in a great athlete. He's got many years ahead to shine.

Meant to ask you ... how do you think Askren-Lawler will play out in a few months? Does Askren take a fair bit of damage on the feet? Or does he immediately get him to the mat & dominate for several rounds? Time flies - Askren debuted over in Bellator 9 years ago this April.

There's a part of me that wants to see Askren laid the fuck out in 30 seconds and left to face some life questions lol

I assume he'll get it to the ground and make it real boring. I'm not into his fights. Once I watched em I realized why Dana didn't want him. He's not a ground and pounder like Khabib. He's a WRESTLER for real. I'm not even sure if I remember a crazy submission game from him. I lie his talking but he has to win in the UFC before I really take hi serious. He may get Justin Gaetje'd lmao

That would be quite the sight. Especially at the hands of an aging former champ in Lawler. Always been a fan of his fighting style ... win or lose ... he goes after it. Believe Dana White had a quote years back along the lines of "the cure for insomnia being a Ben Askren fight". I want to see the fight go long ... get into the 3rd round, but it won't be competitive at that point as Lawler is a far better striker than Askren so they won't be trading shots evenly. It'll be Askren in cruise control. Just not fan friendly. Especially against a very marketable, always fan friendly Lawler.

Lol @ the Gaethje comment. Happy to see him get that quick, easy win over James Vick last summer. Especially 3 consecutive hard fights and going 1-2 versus Johnson, Alvarez, and Poirier. Those guys are no joke. Poirier's nearing his title shot, Alvarez is now over in One, and Johnson is a divisional gatekeeper in a way. Tough fight for anyone.

At least Gaetjhe is fun to watch. Actually TOO fun. Because of his style, I can still see him getting a call against any of the top guys. Conor, raging Al, guys like that. He can make it so you at least have to take some time off after you fight him lol

One of the most exciting fighters in the sport. Always gives everyone a show ... to his own detriment. Really enjoyed those 2 fights he had with Palomino over in WSOF. Watched the PPV card with Alvarez-Gaethje on it in Mexico last year at the sports bar. Perfect card to watch with boxing and MMA fans ... it had Overeem-Ngannou, Medeiros-Oliveira, and Aldo-Holloway II as well. Watched the Wilder-Fury card at the same place this past December.
