@kozz1984 I've witnessed this as well, and Marcelo can tap him all day from guard. Askren looked MUCH better when they worked from stand up, as his scramble and position control from the shot are outstanding. Seriously though, the kid is new to BJJ and he is rolling with the best guy on earth; cut him some slack.

@mtxewrestler I am aware of his wrestling background but I have personally seen him dominated by marcelo garcia and I was not impressed.

@kozz1984 Askren is fairly new to jiu jitsu but he was a two time ncaa champion wrestler and on the USA olympic team watch some of his wrestling videos. he is a master at scrambling and has some of the best hips i have ever seen

Askren is such a creative grappler.
-
good jiu jitsu, just no where near marcelo garcia or roger gracie level
-
and he isn't that good on the ground either.
-
many don't know askren has a purple belt in bjj

Wow, Askren seems to be very adept in grappling. I guess he's just nowhere near Pablo Popovich's level yet.
Also, remember, that Marcelo Garcia plays with people that are among the best in the world. Saying you're not impresses because Garcia schooled him is not a good reference. Garcia schools EVERYONE.
