Scramblers Delight

Check out this video of Jake Shields and Ben Askren doing some training for their upcoming fights. They both have grappling styles which call for a lot of scrambling and creativity which made for an entertaining training session. Shields is training for his highly anticipated UFC debut against Martin Kampmann on October 23 at UFC 121 and Askren for his Bellator title bout against Lyman Good on October 21.

Lots and lots of really cool counters, setup and just free flow wrestling/submission.

About Ben Askren
There is no “type” of wrestler that Ben can be catagorized as. He has created a whole new genre that is unique with his rolling and pinning style.

Ben over the last two years of his college career was flawless. His first two years were not half bad either, each time going losing in the finals of the NCAA tournament. Ben Askren will mostly be remembered for the entertaining fashion he wrestled his matches. He always had fun and always put on a show for the fans.

In 2008 he won the U.S. Nationals and Olympic trials and competed in the Bejing games. Since then he has continued on as an volunteer wrestling coach and has begun training mma at American Top Team in Columbia, MO.
