Ben Askren displaying some “Funky” standup.
Social media star Jake Paul fights former UFC welterweight Ben Askren in the Triller “Fight Club” pay-per-view (PPV) main event this Sat. night (April 17, 2021) inside Mercedes-Benz Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.
Today, both Paul and Askren — as well as select others — came together for the pre-fight open workouts in “The Peach State” (embedded above), showcasing what each combatant is capable of (for better or worse).
Elsewhere on the card, former WBA super lightweight champion Regis Prograis collides with Ukrainian pugilist Ivan Redkach, while ex-UFC heavyweight kingpin Frank Mir makes his debut in the “sweet science” opposite former IBF cruiserweight champion Steve Cunningham (not Antonio Tarver).
Lastly, British nightclub owner Joe Fournier battles Colombian reggaeton musician Reykon. Musical guests include Doja Cat, Saweetie, Diplo, Major Lazer, The Black Keys and Mt. Westmore, the rap super group comprised of hip-hop legends Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, Too $hort and E-40.
The PPV live stream begins 9 p.m. ET on April 17 and costs $49.99 (stream it here).
