🚨 Ben Askren and Daniel Cormier were NOT impressed with Jake Paul, Ronda Rousey and Netflix’s MMA Event:
🗣️ Ben: “Incredibly one-sided is the biggest thing that comes to mind.. You know, there wasn't a singular fight that was moderately competitive on the card.
And, you know, we need the highlights, we need the knockouts, we need these spectacular things, but the best thing we can get is a back-and-forth fight.”
🗣️ DC: “It’s not boxing, right? In boxing you build athletes by crushing people that aren’t on their level necessarily..
So many of the fighters on that card were already established fighters. They were on the backend of their careers. So there was no star-building.”
