Ben Askren Reveals What Happens if He Loses to Jake Paul

Ever since the Ben Askren vs Jake Paul fight was announced, it has stirred the entire fight world. This is because both the fighters are absolute entertainers and will not back down from verbally dissing the other ahead of the bout. Both Askren and Paul have targeted each other through enough verbal wars, and now they’re only waiting for April 17.

Ahead of the fight, Ben Askren was on Logan Paul‘s podcast, Impaulsive. Here ‘Funky’ Ben revealed what he will do if he loses on April 17. The former MMA champion said, “If I lose, I mean I’d probably just go back to coach in my wrestling academies.”

Askren has been a renowned MMA star for a long time. He enjoyed an exemplary career in MMA, but didn’t really have a fruitful career in the UFC. Consequently, he retired and began training budding fighters in his wrestling academy.

‘Funky’ was enjoying his retirement period until Jake Paul infuriated him and drew him back to the professional fight world. Now, the 36-year-old will look to hand Paul his maiden loss as a pugilist.

Ben Askren is prepared to tackle Jake Paul

The former MMA star has put in a tremendous amount of work in the gym over the past few months. His prime fight weapon is wrestling, but for this bout, Askren had to bring in a major revamp to his grilling training regimes.

In his vast MMA career, ‘Funky’ fought fighters with a strong standup game and used his superior ground game to beat them. However, this will be the first time when he will only have to employ his standup game rather than anything else.

More than anyone else, Ben Askren is himself thrilled to exhibit his new version in front of the fans on April 17. He is excited to put on a show, and his fans are equally eager to see him claim a win against the ‘Problem Child’.
