The champion of Bellator’s welterweight division and unbeaten in 10 MMA fights, Ben Askren
trains in the United States with the UFC’s Alan Belcher. The two stalwart grapplers work on their Jiu-Jitsu with the brothers Diego and Daniel Moraes.
It was during one of these training sessions that our collaborator Diego Marcello shot the following video of Askren, a collegiate wrestling champion, demonstrating his own version of the armdrag–a reverse armdrag. Pay attention to the grip Askren does that sets his way of doing the move apart from the traditional way.
