Who was better; Ben Askren or Nate Diaz?

Ben Askren has more accolades after an Olympic wrestling career, but Nate Diaz made more money and had a much longer and more decorated UFC run. Whose career was better?

Come on!! Nates record is terrible. Askren wins. We don't love Diaz for his record!

This one is easy, Nate Diaz.

Askren was a two-time world champion. Only lost to a fluke KO against Masvidal and a BJJ master.

Fluke KO A flying knee to the face isn’t a fluke he knocked the F@&$ out

I'd say Diaz if they fought in their prime, wrestling is the strongest base but that jujutsu is the antidote.

Askren only been submitted once though, and that was his last fight against Demian Maia

jamie.theodosi8mo ago

Askren because at one point he was considered to be the best thing outside of the UFC, undefeated at the time etc.

By statistics is ol Ben

Nate took out Michael Johnson, called out mcgregor & finished him, Nate all day...

Do you value those wins more than championships outside of the UFC?

harvey.leonard9mo ago

If the metric is MMA skill/career achievements, it's Ben Askren without a doubt.

kyle.dimond9mo ago

Definitely Askren. He retired before signing with the UFC.

Askren and it’s not close. Two promotion world champion don’t let his last few fights cloud your judgement.
