Five things we learned from Jake Paul's weekend war with the MMA world

MMA Fighting Share this story Peace was never going to be an option this weekend. With Jake Paul and his legion of social media sycophants bearing down on our precious MMA bubble, much of the hardcore fanbase was up in arms over the possibility that Paul’s freakshow fight with Ben Askren would overshadow a compelling UFC Vegas 24 main event featuring top middleweight contenders Robert Whittaker and Kelvin Gastelum, and a strong Bellator card headlined by a pair of light heavyweight grand prix bouts. The Triller Fight Club event undoubtedly drew broad interest from a variety of demographics, but for fight fans who were judicious with their time and chose not to indulge in all three events, here’s a quick rundown of the storylines that played out on Friday and Saturday.

Ben Askren: 'Why was the public so interested in two guys who weren't very good at boxing, boxing?'

(2:20) Ben Askren isn't really sure how to compute what happened over the weekend. The former UFC fighter and multiple-time MMA champion was knocked out in the first round by Jake Paul in a boxing match last Saturday night in Atlanta. Askren, a former Olympic wrestler, was never a great boxer. So, getting stopped wasn't necessarily a huge surprise to many onlookers.

Saturday’s second pay-per-view card largely doubled down on the same formula as November’s debut, striking a tone between Wrestlemania and Verzuz. It was staged at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the 75,000-seat home of the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons, but was effectively a made-for-TV event with only about 500 spectators (mostly VIPs and contest winners) in attendance. The undercard was peppered with short sets by Justin Bieber, Doja Cat, Saweetie, The Black Keys and Mt Westmore – the newly formed hip-hop supergroup consisting of Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, Too $hort and E-40. At the end of each fight, Gen Z megastars Charlie and Dixie D’Amelio were on hand to present a Triller-branded championship belt to the winner. At one point, the coverage broke for a slap boxing fight that appeared to take place in the bowels of the stadium with commentary by Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson and former pro wrestler Ric Flair. Authentic might be too strong a word, but the free-flowing banter in the well-lubricated five-man (!) commentary booth never felt forced, even if the sexual assault allegations leveled against Paul this week didn’t get a mention. Oh, and Oscar De La Hoya appeared to be wasted.

Referee: Jake Paul vs. Ben Askren was 'no work,' 'just preventing forgone conclusion'

MMA Fighting Share this story Photo by Jeff Kravitz/Getty Images for Triller Calls of a fix didn’t take long to roll in after Jake Paul sent Ben Askren to the canvas in the headliner of their cruiserweight fight for Triller Fight Club. But the only forgone conclusion, per veteran combat sports official Marc Goddard, was that Askren was not going to come back from the damage he took, and he believes referee Brian Stutts made the right call Saturday in Atlanta. The referee made the right call for Ben Askren. No work. No conspiracy. No one was “in on it”. Just a referee preventing a forgone conclusion.

Seasoned professional Ivan Redkach stoops the lowest on farcical Triller Fight Club

Seasoned professional Ivan Redkach stoops the lowest on farcical Triller Fight Club Ivan Redkach claims foul against Regis Prograis but replays expose the extent of his meek surrender ON a “fight” card that figured to roll back every last tenet of respectability in prizefighting, it was the seasoned professional boxer, not the dilettante Youtuber, who made a sham of the so-called gentleman’s sport. That at least appeared to be the case during an all-southpaw, super-lightweight clash (set for 10 rounds), when, in the sixth round, veteran Ukrainian Ivan Redkach thrashed around in agonising pain on the canvas for an interminable period of time after his adversary, former 140-pound titleholder, Regis Prograis, had landed what initially looked like a stray right hand to the groin.                   

Jake Paul knocks out UFC fighter Ben Askren in first round of Triller Fight Club event

Jake Paul’s boxing career took another giant leap forward on Saturday night. The YouTube star scored a first-round knockout of UFC fighter Ben Askren in less than two minutes at the Triller Fight Club pay-per-view event at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Paul landed a big right hook on Askren, who eventually got to his feet, but referee Brian Stutts decided to end the fight because he believed that Askren wasn’t in shape to continue. The fight was stopped at the 1:59 mark. Paul dedicated the victory to his security guard Shadow, who passed away 10 days prior to the fight.
