    I'm very upset that I allowed my post to slip through with the caps lock on for half of it. I reprimand me sharply.

    I thought you were just really emphasizing how good his style is for EBI.

    I always have liked Askren,I wish he would attack with guillotines, darces, neckties, etc...he would be even more of a beast

    He would be so fun to watch in an EBI if he attacked

    I don't know, maybe. He's a good wrestler but he's kind of boring. How would he do, is the question? I think Tonon would devour him.

    I would love to see Askren in EBI, even if he can't finish anyone, it would be a huge feather in someone else's cap to sub Askren. He may not be a world class sub guy but he is definitely a world class grappler and what happens if he gets to OT, can he defend from a bad position? Inquiring minds want to know

    Well to be fair 4/14 is nearly 1/3 of his wins, so there could be an argument made that his submission percentage is on par with a sport that requires multiple facets in order to be successful. But I actually haven't followed him too much so I'm not married to this view.

    Would definitely be a great bump for EBI and submission grappling as a whole, especially on a more global scale perhaps.

    Yup 29%, but again this is about Sub Only Jiu Jitsu not mma. And honestly I don't think its a bump at all. The average casual MMA fan has no idea who he is. I don't see it doing anything for EBI.


    I have nothing against the guy, but EBI's goal is to bring Submission Only Jiu Jitsu mainstream, he doesn't offer anything in that regard.

    I like Ben and would like to see him get more credit for being a badass.I enjoy watching him.
    I started training in 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu in 2006 after serving 4 years in the USAF.
