Ben Askren @Benaskren
@arielhelwani Are you mad at me bc I was cooking lunch during your interview? Or bc I said something to the Canadian fans?
Ben Askren @Benaskren
Hey @arielhelwani I am still waiting on your expert advice. What strategy would have helped me finish the fight?

Hit harder or submit him.
Ben Askren @Benaskren
easier said than done

I am sure Ben does not have guts to face you on the air
Ariel Helwani @arielhelwani
@benaskren never even responded to my invitation 🙁
Ben Askren @Benaskren
you never invited me and you never answered my question
Ariel Helwani @arielhelwani
yes I did. Yesterday.
Ben Askren @Benaskren
well I invite you to go in a cage with me. When you do that I will do your show. Otherwise kiss my ass.
Ariel Helwani @arielhelwani
well, that response is disappointing. I stated my opinion and was more than happy to have you come on to tell me what’s what.
Ariel Helwani @arielhelwani
anyhow, all the best to you.

Ariel, be careful if you get in a cage with him…make sure there’s rounds, or you might die of old age.
@Swikshz @Swikshz
its “sexy” now to talk about finishing fights. How about learning to wrestle? I blame the opponents lack of game.
