Jake has ugly stand up but he has stood for extended periods against such fighters like gsp and hendo to a lesser degree. Ben looks awkward and he doesnt seem to have much power. Who wins in BKFC? _Poll ([view on site](https://og.discourse.group/t/worst-standup-of-elite-fighter-jake-shields-or-askren/4247/1))_ ---

Shields wins all day. Here he is about to knock Mayhem’s head smooth clean off ![IMG_6179](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex003/uploads/og/original/3X/6/e/6ec78bf8b098d6b4f2f33ee91b380485ba3e70f5.jpeg) ---

I think Ben is the better choice because at least he could land those short shots in the clinch when he needed to. All respect to Jake but I can’t think of a single strike he threw that was ever effective. And yes, he would kick my ass. ---

Damn I voted wrong. I thought it was who was worse. Askren might have the worst striking in ufc history ---

Thread title and question at the end of the OP are asking opposite things so idk what the fuck I really voted for. Jake would win in a fight easily. ---

Jake’s stand up wasn’t very smooth to look at , he didn’t even look good hitting mitts , but he landed on St.Pierre better than many iirc . ---

Jake “Ben stiller” elenburger. /end thread. Dude forgot how to throw a punch. Jake “closeted” shields and Ben “coulda/shoulda” askren are definitely 2/3 in the polls ---
