Jake Paul will fight Ben Askren on April 17, in an event that will also feature music performances by celebrity artists. Now, Triller has provided a massive update regarding the event that will only add to the star power on show. They have announced the commentary team for the event, which consists of several celebrities, including TikTok stars and a supermodel. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Ben-Askren-vs-Jake-Paul.jpg] PRNewswire [https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/pete-davidson-mario-lopez-supermodel-taylor-hill-dixie--charli-damelio-join-snoop-dogg-to-create-all-star-commentator-team-for-triller-fight-clubs-april-17-jake-paul-vs-ben-askren-event-301256240.html] broke the news to fans. The commentary panel includes SNL star Pete Davidson, famous American TV host Mario Lopez, TikTok sensations Charli and Dixie D’Amelio, and supermodel Taylor Hill. They will join Snoop Dogg to form the celebrity commentary panel. The rapper was a surprise addition to the last exhibition bout on Triller, and his unconventional commentary was a success in the eyes of most fans. Therefore, Triller has now added other famous personalities to promote the bout even more. However, like the event has received immense criticism from the traditional boxing fans, this news will also draw criticism from a portion of fans who disagree with the involvement of internet sensations in the sport. READ: OPINION: Floyd Mayweather vs Logan Paul and Ben Askren vs Jake Paul Is Not Helping Boxing [https://www.essentiallysports.com/boxing-news-opinion-floyd-mayweather-vs-logan-paul-and-ben-askren-vs-jake-paul-is-not-helping-boxing/] THE BEN ASKREN AND JAKE PAUL BOUT WILL ALSO FEATURE TRADITIONAL COMMENTATORS The move to include several internet sensations and actors on a commentary panel is a bold move in a sport like boxing. Although it will help sell the fight, it could ruin the viewing experience for hardcore boxing fans. Especially when the people behind the desk are not experts in the sport. As a result, Triller has also included traditional boxing voices like Ray Flores, Al Bernstein, and Mike Coppinger to the commentary team. This will provide a good mix of boxing knowledge with entertainment. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Jake-Paul-Ben-Askren.jpeg] Given the success of the Tyson vs Jones Jr event, Triller clearly wants to better it, and without the presence of boxing icons, this shows how the platform is going all out in any way it can. What do you make of this news for the Ben Askren [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/ben-askren/] and Jake Paul [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jake-paul/] bout? Do you think it will help the event succeed?

<h2 style="text-align: center">Ben Askren 2021: Record, Net Worth, Salary and Endorsements</h2>
They call him 'Funky', a name that Ben Askren got in his college days because of his unorthodox wrestling style. He is one of those MMA fighters, who merged scrambling into wrestling to dominate his opponents. The multiple organization champion, Askren, is currently retired.

A medal at the Olympics was the goal of Askren growing up. However, his dreams were shattered in the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, China, when he <a href="http://www.espn.com/olympics/summer08/results?discId=50" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">lost</a> his very first match against Ivan Fundora.

[caption id="attachment_269755" align="aligncenter" width="1000"]<img class="size-full wp-image-269755" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200515183506/ben-askren-robbie-lawler-ufc-235-16.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="600" /> Mar 2, 2019; Las Vegas, NV, USA; Ben Askren (blue gloves) defeats Robbie Lawler (red gloves) during UFC 235 at T-Mobile Arena. Mandatory Credit: Stephen R. Sylvanie-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]

Instead of waiting another four years to compete at the highest level, Askren stepped foot in an MMA ring and made his MMA debut in a promotion called Headhunter Productions: The Patriot Act against Josh Flowers and got a quick <a href="https://prommanow.com/2009/02/08/ben-askrin-wins-pro-debut-at-headhunter-productions-patriot-act/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">finish</a>.

Askren fought in Bellator Fighting Championship (now known as Bellator MMA). He became the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/bellator-mma-ufc-news-youre-running-bellator-into-the-ground-ben-askren-fires-back-at-scott-coker/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Bellator welterweight champion</a> and defended his title against some elite fighters such as Jay Hieron, and Douglas Lima.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Ben Askren: UFC Career</h2>
Askren then debuted in <a href="https://www.onefc.com/features/ben-askren-the-wrestling-legends-complete-story/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">ONE Championship</a> and became the champion in his second match by beating Nobutatsu Suzuki. After defending his title 5 times, Askren retired from MMA. However, he came to the UFC after UFC and ONE FC traded Demetrious Johnson and Ben Askren.

Askren competed one more time against Demian Maia and lost.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Ben Askren: Fighting Style</h2>
Askren is one of the best wrestlers on the planet. He has made a career out of wrestling in a sport that is not wrestling. His Jiu-Jitsu is also on a higher level than his competition. Askren's biggest weakness is his striking capability, and he has failed to master even the basic striking defense.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Ben Askren: Achievements</h2>

Askren has won multiple championships in wrestling, disc golf, and submission grappling. Besides that, he was the former Bellator MMA and <a href="https://www.onefc.com/features/ben-askren-the-wrestling-legends-complete-story/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">ONE welterweight champion</a>.

Askren also won the Fight of the Night <a href="http://ufcstats.com/fighter-details/0b31f87be71ebbb1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">bonus</a> one time against Demian Maia.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Ben Askren: Salary and Net Worth 2021</h2>
Askren has earned over $830,500 in his UFC career according to <a href="https://thesportsdaily.com/2019/10/26/ben-askren-career-earnings-fox11/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Sports Daily</a>.

His net worth is said to be around 10 million dollars by <a href="https://playersbio.com/ben-askren-net-worth/">playersbio </a>
<h2 style="text-align: center">Ben Askren: Endorsements 2021</h2>
Askren makes the most of his earnings from MMA.
