One of the most dominant college wrestlers in history, Ben Askren became a folk hero during the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, before going on to become a multiple time MMA champion and one of the sport's biggest stars.

Here, in Funky, this record-breaking wrestler and polarizing UFC fighter shares how he came to dominate opponents while blazing a trail through competitors in unprecedented ways. Not blessed with natural athleticism, he revolutionized folkstyle wrestling by innovating his own technique, which earned him the famous nickname, "Funky."

What ensued was an improbable takeover of combat sports by a firebrand who defied tradition, becoming the University of Missouri's first ever national champion while twice winning the prestigious Dan Hodge trophy. Now, Askren opens up about how he bucked convention, how he used his wrestling base to seize the world of cage-fighting, and how he eventually forced UFC president Dana White to end their decade-long public feud via a historic trade.

Love him or hate him, win or lose, Ben Askren showed what determination means by staying true to one of his earliest revelations on the mats: "I was never going to let anybody outwork me."

As an MMA Fan I was really looking forward to this, especially as it was included in the Plus catalogue; However..... listening to Askren was boring, he didn't seem to care or even want to record this.

Not sure if I can give a fair review as I gave up after Chapter 2.

Who let Askren be the voice artist??

Bir sorun oluştu. Lütfen birkaç dakika sonra tekrar deneyin.
...but Ben seemed to be bored by his own words at some points and rushed through the narration

Interesting mostly...
