I saw a thumbs up from Lawler right after Herb grabs his arm. Bullshit stoppage.

Lawler wasn't trying to get out. Askren was going to pull his head clean off. Good stoppage.

Askren takes the back and get slammed from it.

That sets up a series of Robbie Lawler ass-kicking with a big elbow opening a cut.

Askren survives and moves to wrestle fuck mode.

Robbie can't stop it. Double leg to neck crank.

Herb Dean thinks he's out and stops the fight.

On slow mo replay it's completely understandable. And even then it sure seems like you might have really been out for a second.

Robbie pops right up like nothing.

Herb should have shaken the arm.

Ben askren gets opened up and bloody. Talk shit to Dana regardless.

Ben askren remains undefeated.
herb

Robbie is my boy and I wanted him to win that and he beat the shit out of Ben but that arm fell like he was out for a second. Arms don’t fall like that unless you’re out.
I’ve never seen or heard of a guy going out and then Waking up while the choke is still applied

Never leave it to the judges or a Ref I guess.

Askren got hammered. Then he realized what he had to do. Humped it to the fence.

Askren’s got a world class squeeze. Robbie may not have been out but he was going to continue to get cranked for however long was left in that round.

robbie went limp though right?

i mean even if he woke back up, he went out for a second, no?

if so maybe herb dean didnt fuck up that bad
H didn't collapse. One arm went to the ground and it was enough for rogan to state he was out. Having said that, it wasn't enough for the ref to stop the fight. The fight was stopped after robbie gave a thumbs up, but no verbal indication (jaw was under pressure) that he was ok to continue. Zero delay after fight was stopped for robbie to jump up.

Askren, when under pressure in a high profile, debut fight, weathers an early storm and chokes out a former world champion.

Undefeated. Who’s next?

and then his arms would be cooked. He couldn't outwrestle Robbie fresh in the first round. Anyone who thinks Ben was going to win that fight is delusional.

Lawler was not getting out but I can see a big lift to a dump.

No way he was out but he didn't know what to do for a few seconds.

As a result, he got caught.
