I think you'e right on all accounts there. He seems like an excellent person and although I think he doesn't belong in the top ww discussion, he is a very accomplished wrestler and professional fighter.
Out of curiousity, what are the "different reasons" you think he can't effectively close the distance on top flight welter weights in the ufc?
I was being a smart ass. I was implying that the fact Ben Askren won't bend to UFC's strong arm contract offer, that this prevents Ben from being able to close the distance against any UFC fighters. Can't fight a UFC fighter in the octagon if you're not a signed UFC fighter. That's what I meant by that.

It's my opinion that Ben Askren has the skills to essentially nullify any opponents gameplan and force them to wrestle.

Ben sucks as a fighter. Now everyone knows.
I disagree. To not be elite in the UFC does not mean one sucks.
If you took the top 0.00001% of fighters on the planet, he would be in that elite group.

beat Tyron* Woodley in mma or even approach the top 5 of the UFC's welterweight division then I can confidently disregard their "eye" for mma.
