Much has been made of the ridiculous production decisions that turned Triller Fight Club’s Jake Paul vs. Ben Askren show into a total circus. Less time has been spent focusing on the actual fights, because let’s be honest: they were nothing to write home about. Even the Jake Paul vs. Ben Askren fight, which at least had a satisfying knockdown, was basically stopped before it really got going.
Some agree with the ref’s decision to save Askren from more punishment. He did seem a bit wobbly on his feet after the knockdown, after all. But in the eyes of MMA refereeing legend Big John McCarthy, the decision by the ref to wave the fight off was ‘small time.’
