Ben talks about getting ready for his rematch fight against Ryan Thomas and the topic turns to wrestling. He wants to both wrestle and fight but is not sure he will be able to reach his full potential in either by doing both and may be forced to make a decision at some point down the road.

J Bell I have a couple questions for you...

1. Sure there was some trash talking before the Thomas fight but if you think it was more than just to hype the fight you are an idiot, and please tell me when did you ever hear Askren trash talk toward Hornbuckle?

2. Do you know anything at all about jiu jitsu, the ground game and controlling someone, because after his takedowns he got to side control, mount and the crucifix position several times against Thomas who is no joke, a UFC vet.

3. How was he lucky to get the win over thomas, when was he ever in trouble in that fight?

I love wrestling, and never bet against a wrestler in mma, but this is different... Dan Hornbuckle has got way more experience than Ben and my prediction is a first round submission by the Handler. Ben is a world class wrestler but that wont be good enough! Ben will be humiliated and then what will he say about all of the trash he talked? First he trash talked Ryan Thomas, now the Handler??? I'm not impressed with your verbal performance, or your fighting!! Great takedowns, then what ?You looked confused and lost against Ryan Thomas, and you were lucky to pull off that win!! Good luck against the Handler...You are gonna need it!!

Hey im serious ive never fought but ill skip pro to fight Askren. No disrespect on him at all actually I would like to foight him outta respect. Im totally curious to se how we would do our styles are so similiar. I feel he would seriously win orloose help me step up my game. So Ben get ahold of me if you dont want to fight how about we train together. Im game for either or.

This guy is a cocky ass and makes promises he cant keep.. What about the gold for the Olympics. He sucks at fighting should be just a straight wrestler.

Askren comes off as kinda cocky but when you hear him speak he seems like a cool dude.

I used to not like Ben Askern very much, but I do now. He's pretty funny. I hope his stand-up improves because he could really make an impact if MMA if his stand up was good enough.
