"Based on this I don't see an unbeatable Askren no way in hell sorry. He may still beat Rory but not Condit, not Hendricks and not GSP."

No one said he's unbeatable. But what does Condit do to beat Askren that he was unable to do to Hendricks? 

 

Hendricks used his striking to attack Condit when they weren't on the ground, what is Askren going to do when they aren't on the ground and can't land all of his takedowns (Hieron)?

 

Why would they not be on the ground? Why would you compare Condit's wrestling to Hieron's?

Condit can get up because Jay got up and stuffed takedowns that's all he needs to do. No one is going to wrestle offensively with ASkren but will strike with him when they are standing what stops COndit from doing with Hieron did but more effectively? Go watch the ASkren Hieron fight the evidence is right there.

I'm arguing that he is still too green despite being impressive, not that he sucks please understand the difference.

yea ben is still very green...which makes his achievements that much more impressive

Ben's with one of the best striking coaches in the world, and his chin is solid. Ben's mma game is going to improve exponentially within the next few years and nobody at ww will be able to stop him

Entirely possible, currently he's still too green and making mistakes standing the killers of the division will take advantage of but in a couple of years yes he could have all the tools

hendricks didn't allow COndit any time or space to be effective, if you back COndit down he is at a disadvantage and Hendricks could do that because of his striking AND grappling.

Askren can't do that yet.

Diaz lost backing Condit down because he refused to adapt and just talked shit and slapped him
