    • @Bprovo
      @Bprovo 3 года назад +124

      The funny thing is there is a reason why Masvidal employed that flying knee! He had to lol!
      If Madvidal didn't come flying out of the gate (literally), he would probably have lost the fight. There is no way he would beat Askren grappling, though he does train BJJ. He knew that Askren wouldn't strike and would dip his head for the takedown, so the victory was basically down to doing his research than it was about being the better fighter.
      If Masvidal fought Askren without watching his clips, he probably would have lost the fight, whereas Askren would have beaten Masvidal without any research. I don't say this to take away from Masvidal, obviously doing research is part of fighting, so my previous point should not be taken too literally.
      I only mean to say that Masvidal was relying HEAVILY on his game plan going perfectly. If Masvidal hadn't executed the knee so perfectly, it would have been a very difficult fight for him.
      A similar situation is at play with Usman. The ONLY way Masvidal even stands a chance against Usman is if his game plan goes perfectly once more, whereas Usman can beat Masvidal in 20 different ways. He doesn't have to be perfect.

    I went to the same high school as Ben (I'm a lot younger) and my coach was his same coach. I later went on to train at Askren's Wrestling Academy when I decided to wrestle year round. My main coach there was Mesenbrink, his high school coach and business partner, but Ben and Max would come in regularly to coach. It's surreal to watch him at the height of his career when I just know him as Coach Ben. That cradle he used there is something we drilled non stop since kindergarten, and his effort to go out of his way to shake the hands of his opponent's coaches is something we were taught to do from the beginning.
    It's just so cool to take a look at the past and see how these traditions have been passed on. Makes me want to go back to that high school and help coach the next generation.
