Ben Askren (10-0-0) vs Karl Amoussou (16-4-2) this main event of Bellator 86 was for the Bellator welterweight title (Askren’s third defense). The bout took place on 1/24/2013 in the Winstar World Casino, Thackerville, Oklahoma, USA.
Great job! Amoussou deserved that ass beating for being so damn cocky,,,
Man what a gnp beatdown! Amoussou’s face was wrecked!
who can beat this guy? i am certainly no askren fan, quite the opposite actually, but no one has come close to beating him. only way i see him losing is to a guy with a really sick guard and bottom game
Askren is such a boring fighter. He’ll never make it to the UFC for that reason. Dana only likes exciting fighters…
@John Nada
He’ll reach the UFC eventually. People forget that wrestling is a huge part of mma…no need to call it boring.
he is so boring to watch i had to ff to the last round. gsp , hendrich, rory, any top5 ufc guys could beat him easy. he is fighting cans.
@ John Nada- I agree….BORING
I am no Ben Askren fan…but I like he made no secret, what his gameplay is…he kept his hand low, and just top position ground and pound…but that was a hell of a beating…beside fitch, kosh and gsp…i really dont see how anyone can stop his takedown…..i even see kosh have some trouble with it
11-0
Respect his game. He just TKO’d a tough fighter.
What’s really annoying about Askren is that he is so one dimensional. He didn’t even make an attempt to strike in the opening round. Eventually he’ll get exposed, and hurt, and he won’t be the same after that. If he encounters a Chuck Liddell type fighter that has good wrestling but is also a striker, it will be over. I would really like it if he mixes it up a bit. People complain about gsp. But what makes him exciting is that he mixes it up and is unpredictable. The beauty of watching a good mma fight is seeing all dimensions of the game. It don’t like to see a straight kickboxing match equally as a sttraight grappling match.
Best bellator ever!!! Best askren I’ve seen yet. I thought Karl was gonna bring it… Wrong.
I disagree ace it will take an elite athlete and specimen like GSP, Fitch or Rory. I wouldn’t be surprised if he out grapples hendricks. But yeah he would more than likely lose to a lot of the top 5 but he would give them a good fight.
bellator is like semi pro fighting.no way these guys could hang in the ufc right now.
if Ben is the type of fighter and champ you like, more power to you. i would not pay my money to watch Ben fight but that’s just me.
ben looked good.
All the sweethearts that call this style “boring” have obviously never set foot on a mat. It’s not the same as sitting on your couch and watching.
Ladies and gentlemen – I present to you, Ben “The Blanket” Askren.
He’s young and getting better, no need to rag on him.
the kid has 11 fights. dont hate the guy on top raining punches, hate the guy who cant keep from being taken down and bludgeoned
How many punches did ben throw? You people are retarted if you think that is laying on someone. He was pounding his face in. That was not boring at all. one-sided yes. boring no
rofl that is some of the weakest GnP I ever seen. I personally think K1 Shields hits harder.
Nice work. This is wrestling and FINISHING. None of this “run down the clock on top” to win – this is actually good fighting. Impressed with Askren this time
lmao askren alsways bringing that boring swag to the mix
