He&#8217;s also bound to be watching the UFC London co-main event, which pits welterweight contenders Gunnar Nelson and Leon Edwards against each other, as a bout with either man is very possible for him down the road. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a video posted to the UFC Europe Twitter account, Ben Askren made a prediction for Jorge Masvidal vs. Darren Till and Leon Edwards vs. Gunnar Nelson at UFC London. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As he&#8217;s suggested previously, he&#8217;s picking Darren Till to defeat Jorge Masvidal \u2014 though he&#8217;s not sleeping on the latter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, he&#8217;s also picking Gunnar Nelson to spring the upset on the streaking Leon Edwards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See what he had to say below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/UFCEurope\/status\/1106572007972503552\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gunnar Nelson\u00a0vs.\u00a0Leon\u00a0Edwards:<\/strong> &#8220;My prediction for the co-main event tomorrow night is that Gunnar Nelson is just going to be a little too much in the grappling department. I think Leon Edwards is a really good striker, but Gunnar Nelson is just going to overwhelm him with the grappling.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Darren Till vs. Jorge Masvidal: <\/strong>&#8220;For the main event, you have Jorge Masvidal vs. Darren Till. I think they&#8217;re both pretty well-rounded strikers. I think Darren Till is going to be a little better, a little bigger, a little younger and he&#8217;s going to get the upper hand on Jorge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What do you think of these predictions from Ben Askren? Do you agree with the former ONE Championship and Bellator welterweight titleholder? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This article first appeared on&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><em>BJPENN.COM<\/em><\/a><em>&nbsp;on 3\/15\/2019.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ben Askren will have a close eye on the UFC London main event, which pits Jorge Masvidal against Darren Till, as he&#8217;s already been linked to a fight with the winner of the bout.
