(17:50) Askren continues the interview by saying his retirement in 2017 he wasn’t fully committed to ending his career but this time he is, due to his hip replacement. (23:10) Ariel asks Askren what he wants to do now that he’s retired, Askren says he will do some broadcasting and continue his coaching career. (27:00) Ariel and Askren continue the discussion by naming the top 5 personalities in the sport with Conor McGregor being number one. (32:30) Ariel Helwani then plays Ben Askren a tribute video highlighting the best moments that the two of them have had on the show.

    Level of competition is a very important factor when judging a fighters record. That's why is see khabibs record as only 12-0. Because that's how many UFC fights he's had. if khabib was 28-0 IN the UFC. he would've been the best of all time 15 fights ago. Just watch, if he doesn't retire soon which he will because he'su not dumb. He will get beat. He's not unstoppable. Matter a fact I predict his next fight with Tony will be his first loss. Khabib and askren take advantage of the fact that people don't realize they were fighting cans before the UFC. And claim greatness from the public. But still. Going 12-0 in the UFC is hard. But it definitely doesn't make you the Goat or should it make people think you're invincible.

    For a lot of UFC fans they don't even know who Ben was they never seen them be completely dominating data seen him get one victory in the UFC and that was it. People said he was the khabib of Japanese MMA cuz that's where we fought. But if you lose two of your three UFC fights maybe you should start thinking about hanging up the gloves and maybe doing like a full-time podcast or something

    One of the best? Okay Ben fanboy cool your tits. Keep in mind the level of wrestling he has under his belt, and then remember the competition he was facing before UFC. Then you'll realize why he was 18-0. Of course cans can't compete with an Olympian even if he is one dimensional. But, the UFCs top 15 can... Oh and, Alexander volkov is the GOAT of the sport just because of his record right? Level of competition matters.
