Former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley has shared his thoughts on Ben Askren’s submission loss to Demian Maia at UFC Singapore.<\/p>\n

Woodley and Askren are longtime friends and training partners, so ‘The Chosen One’ was obviously disappointed to witness ‘Funky’ suffer his second career defeat.<\/p>\n

Askren was submitted by Maia in the third round of today’s UFC Singapore event headliner (see that here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

After entering the UFC with a perfect record of 18-0, Ben Askren has since gone 1-2 with the promotion. ‘Funky’ scored a controversial submission victory over Robbie Lawler in his Octagon<\/a> debut, and then was knocked out in just 5-seconds by Jorge Masvidal at UFC 239.<\/p>\n

Tyron Woodley explained what went wrong for Askren against Maia during the UFC Singapore post-fight show (via MMANews.com<\/a>):<\/p>\n

\u201cThe thing about Ben, when I was looking down there yelling and screaming, if he would\u2019ve thrown overhand rights and got his head off-line he would\u2019ve been able to access the right leg of Demian Maia,\u201d Tyron Woodley said. \u201cIf he would\u2019ve thrown that shovel uppercut and got his head off-line, he would\u2019ve avoided those punches, he would\u2019ve got close to the front leg which from a southpaw is gonna be his right leg. Getting to the back leg of Demian Maia is very difficult and when you go back there it\u2019s a huge risk that you have to take, and I think that when you go for it with your head down and you\u2019re trying to go for those strikes you put yourself in jeopardy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tyron Woodley continued where he suggested that Ben Askren’s confidence in escaping bad situations may have cost him against the submission ace, Maia.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs I said before, Ben likes to put himself in harm\u2019s way because he knows he\u2019s confident in getting out of it,\u201d Woodley continued. \u201cThis time he didn\u2019t get out of it. I think he\u2019ll go back home, I think he\u2019ll look at the film and I think he can get back on the horse.\u201d<\/p>\n
