If Tito Ortiz had to pick the most overrated UFC fighter, he’d go with Ben Askren.
Askren suffered his first professional loss after Jorge Masvidal knocked him out with a flying knee just five seconds into their UFC 239 fight earlier this month. The nature of the knockout made it go viral, while Askren virtually became a meme in the combat sport world.
To his credit, he took the defeat as well as all the jokes in good spirit. However, many also believe he was exposed in this defeat, particularly as he was close to losing in his debut fight against Robbie Lawler as well.
And given how Askren has talked down his fellow welterweights in the past, Ortiz believes “Funky” is the most overrated fighter with the promotion right now:
“I guess Ben Askren,” Ortiz said on the Domenick Nati Show. “He just got knocked out in five seconds in the UFC. I thought he was at the time, but I would say he’d be the man. I mean, ‘Mr. Funkify’s’ getting some attention, but his attention lasts only five seconds. He didn’t even get the whole 15 seconds of fame.”
Given how recency bias comes into play, Ortiz was asked once again if Askren was the most overrated. But there is no discussion according to the former UFC light heavyweight champion:
“Yeah, 100 percent,” he added.
Do you agree with Ortiz?

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz believes he’d be the one to defeat Jon Jones if they fought today.
Earlier this month, Ortiz revealed what his keys to beating Jones were, notably mentioning that one needs to get in his face and not make him comfortable. However, it’s easier said than done as Ortiz claimed Jones was the greatest of all time for a reason.
That said, the 40-year-old believes he would fare well against Jones:
“I think I would do a lot better against Jon Jones than Daniel Cormier,” Ortiz said on the Domenick Nati Show when asked who he would fare better against. “Because Cormier is just a shorter guy, bigger legs, bigger torso. He’s just a big, big guy.
“Jon Jones is long and lengthy. I’m going to get in the inside of him and try to overpower some of the positions. But if it would be Jon Jones, I would think I’d have a great chance against [him].”
Ortiz even believes he would defeat Jones if they fought today as he would implement his earlier mentioned keys to victory:
“Yup, I think I could,” he added. “If I have a camp like I did the last one of 18 weeks, 100 percent. There really hasn’t been anybody to fight Jon Jones, to get in his face, and stay in his face. Everybody else, they want to strike on the outside with him. He’s too damn long, you cannot do that. You got to get in the inside of him. That’s the way to fight him.
“As a coach and as a fighter, that’s the way to beat him. Someone to be aggressive enough to keep the fight, pushing him around. Make him feel uncomfortable.”
