Usman doing Colby from Ben Askren? No Colby doing Askren from Kamaru Usman.

If this was wrestling... It's his only advantage over anyone and that's about it.

And we've seen over and over again that if you can control the fight, you can consistently win. Ben has cardio, has control, and has made a career winning with those attributes.

I worry for Ben at the start of the fight when people can overpower him and keep his TD away. But once the fight gets late, it's Ben's fight to win at that point.

Ben has persistence and is very efficient with his energy output. He's not scared of losing a takedown if it's going to cost him lots of energy to complete it. He'll reset and look for better leverage to get it next time.
