@Giraffe Juice you see a lot of really good wrestlers in MMA/UFC that dont translate it well into the cage. Ben is a good MMA wrestler, watch BJJ Scouts breakdowns on youtube and see what I mean
Yeah Freestyle wrestling doesn’t really translate well into MMA because it’s primarily just a takedown contest. Ben is better in MMA because of his top control from folkstyle wrestling “Ben was an excellent pinner and top guy” which is actually WAY better for MMA fighting as you can keep an opponent down instead of just taking them down. But could you imagine Jordan’s blast double in MMA?
@@zacharycedeno6638 That's the best thing about Ben I think. He's like when people engine swap an old piece of shit Civic from the late 80s and it just blows past much nicer cars.

Jordan would have huge potential in MMA, he's a freak athlete. Give him 4 years to train striking and Jiu Jitsu, he'd dominate the regional circuit, but whether he would do well in the UFC is impossible to tell.
All depends on his strategies to like if he’s trying to strike first I don’t think he can compete with the best strikers, but if he makes them play his game like usman he could be a great fighter
This was a classy move by Ben bringing attention to a sport he loves. I recently found out about Burroughs just before this was announced seeing a Flo documentary on him.. What an absolute machine.
Ben just did a GREAT thing for the sport & USA Wrestling. Sacrificed his ego in the process, the man indeed. Even rocked a Dave Schultz shirt at the weigh-in :)
anything less of winning the way JB did, would have been a disappointment, JB currently represents our country as our elite of the elite of our wrestling culture. The match had to be one side dominant. Ben askren is a class act fearless man that brought spot light to the culture of wrestling in our country, I tip my hat off to both men. much respect.
That double leg of Jordan Burroughs is unstoppable in my opinion!! I know I couldn't defend against it and I was pretty good at wrestling well until you watch this dude and he humbles you real quick
@Mossimo Tiberi, I meant this sport has rarely evolved from its initial beginnings. This is exactly what I meant, so your response was kind of dumb, but it's ok.
nah, he's got a long way to go. Wrestling can only take you so far in the modern game. If Jordan's smart, he'd adapt ot Khabib's style of fighting. with that Superior Wrestling ability, Ground and Pound would become second nature in a few months for him. I wouldn't say "Monster". He wouldn't be anywhere near as good as Askren let alone Cejudo (who's arguably the most all rounded mixed martial artists in the world). Would be interesting tho to see Jordan in MMA.

Also, I disagree with Ben slightly about Burroughs having to work his way up from the bottom for a few years, I think he can do it quicker than normal bc of his fame. UFC likes people who they can make into a star. Look at Greg Hardy, UFC is feeding him 5 scrubs real quick and he will soon be given bigger names, all in a little over a year!
@@tacotacotington3638 touche. When i initially looked i saw DW's contender serious and the XFN fight and counted them. My point still stands tho. They care about their ability to make money, and its easier to do when the fighter already has a big following. So they are willing to speed up the process. Hardy just got a softball and was a co-main event. IMI Burroughs would be in the mix with top guys quickly if he is good enough.
@@quack9104 i am not saying burroughs will translate his skills to being a top MMA fighter, but i am simply saying if he can do so, I dont think he will have to work his way up over 3 years. if he is embaressing people right off the bat, i think by his 3rd fight he gets a big name/top 10 guy. but who knows. i sure hope we get a chance to find out!

What if Askren blew out his knee getting run off the stage? I can't believe they had such a dangerous set up. Next year, maybe they will have crocodiles waiting right off stage.
It really just depends on what level of striking he has but he already has the most dominant base in MMA so I believe if he spent a couple years on Strictly striking he could have a sprawl and brawl type of game

@@markstone6263 yep the sky is really the limit imagine if he trained the Muay Thai as well those clinches mixed with his dominant wrestling style would be nasty
@Boxing 101 It's called being the black kid. Askren also gas a dad bod. I'm not saying he ISN'T on steroids. Just saying he is naturally more built and larger and stronger than Askren.
@Boxing 101 Yea, I'm with you on that. Jordan came at Ben like it was the Olympics. Ben came kinda relaxed like an exhibition. I think it's obvious when he said "he cake a little harder than I thought he would".
Yeah... back in the late 90's I predicted it might be that way some day, and all I got were casual fans putting down wrestling. I knew it was so general in between the other styles, and all about transitions, that it would help immensely. Others that came from one discipline usually were so focused that their techniques left them open in many other ways. Most of all, humans like to go the easiest route, and that usually means they are in love with only finishes, as if all the fictional fights in stories, movies, etc... are the way all fights have to go. Some fights are ugly and drag on because the combatants are close in ability. That's just life. Wreslting has been part of human natural life and survival for tens of thousands of years. They didn't stand and trade spin kicks and upright boxing when they fought over a peace of meat to survive in the paleolithic times. They did what ever was getting right to the gritty part of dominance and didn't do spectacular things hoping for a KO with high risk.
Ben took a what was pretty much a guaranteed hit to his ego and "record" as a wrestler, and risked going against arguably the best in the world at it, for the sake of generating attention to the sport. This guy is great and even when he loses he wins,

Am I correct if I saw over half the current champs are primary wrestlers, DC khabib Usman gsp late bloomer but all dominant wrestlers?
Yeah... back in the late 90's I predicted it might be that way some day, and all I got were casual fans putting down wrestling. I knew it was so general in between the other styles, and all about transitions, that it would help immensely. Others that came from one discipline usually were so focused that their techniques left them open in many other ways. Most of all, humans like to go the easiest route, and that usually means they are in love with only finishes, as if all the fictional fights in stories, movies, etc... are the way all fights have to go. Some fights are ugly and drag on because the combatants are close in ability. That's just life. Wreslting has been part of human natural life and survival for tens of thousands of years. They didn't stand and trade spin kicks and upright boxing when they fought over a peace of meat to survive in the paleolithic times. They did what ever was getting right to the gritty part of dominance and didn't do spectacular things hoping for a KO with high risk.
Massive pros to Askren, he knew he was a big underdog but did it for the exposure of wrestling and a good cause.
