Ben Askren on Jake Paul fight: Not teaching lesson because \u201che\u2019s too stupid to learn\u201d Instagram: Ben Askren \/ Jake PaulMMA fans want Ben Askren to teach Jake Paul a lesson when they lock horns next month, but he believes there\u2019s nothing to teach him because he is an \u201cidiot\u201d who is \u201ctoo stupid to learn anything.\u201d Ben Askren and Jake Paul have been going at it ahead of their fight on April 17. They\u2019re sending each other heated text messages and badmouthing each other in interviews. Jake even trolled Ben\u2019s coach with a hilarious prank call. The bad blood isn\u2019t slowing down. In a recent interview with MMA Junkie, Ben had nothing positive to say about Jake. He even threw his brother, Logan Paul, some shade. The first jab happened when Ben Askren confessed he doesn\u2019t understand why Jake Paul is popular. \u201cI don\u2019t think there\u2019s any good answer. They\u2019re all like, \u2018He does a lot of dumb things.\u2019 Or, \u2018He says crazy stuff.\u2019 But it\u2019s like, OK. So? So what,\u201d he said. \u201cPeople who I liked, I could name a reason why I liked that person. And with [Jake Paul and Logan Paul], that just doesn\u2019t seem to be the case.\u201d Despite the fact his fans want him to teach Jake a lesson in the fight, he believes there\u2019s nothing to teach him. \u201cThis guy\u2019s an idiot. What kind of lesson [could I possibly teach him]? He\u2019s too stupid to learn anything.\u201d Ben is the more experienced and decorated fighter by a long shot. His professional record is 19 wins and 2 losses. Before his disappointing stint in the UFC, he was the Undefeated ONE Welterweight World Champion. Before that, he was an Olympian wrestler. However, as Joe Rogan pointed out, he isn\u2019t an \u201cexplosive\u201d puncher, which could be his downfall against Jake. After all, it\u2019s an exhibition boxing bout, not a wrestling or mixed-martial-arts match. So, will he give MMA fans what they want and knock some sense into the cocky \u2018heel\u2019 Jake has become? Or will he embarrass them and become Jake\u2019s next victim? We\u2019ll find out in a month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
