In this episode, I sit down with decorated champion Ben Askren and we discuss his new book, Funky: My Defiant Path Through the Wild World of Combat Sports details the steps and development of Askren's strong mental approach through triumphant wins, devastating losses, physical injuries and how hard work, grit, and a “no-F's-given” attitude helped him climb to the top of the combat sports world. Through his storytelling, Askren schools his readers how to master the art of outworking everyone while remaining a student of the game. - Follow Ben Askren @BenAskren - Follow Lisa Ann: http://thereallisaann.social

On this episode of Slip The Jab, the circus continues as Funky Ben Askren disappoints by getting dropped from the man who has now become the arch nemesis of MMA (Jake Paul). We try to figure out why fans were more excited to watch Triller Fight Club than they were UFC Vegas 24, what needs to be done now to bring everyone back to reality and recap the fight that everyone should have been watching instead, Robert Whittaker vs Kelvin Gastelum. Afterwards we stay on the road to normal town as we give our Slip Picks and Ianalysis for one of the most stacked cards of the year, UFC 261 (Kamaru Usman vs Jorge Masvidal 2). We also answer fan questions and end with our post fight song of the week.This episode is dedicated to my cousin Billy Yarussi.
