GSP is retired . . . again . . .

A prime GSP would wreck Askren. I'm not sure what shape he's currently in. He did come off the shelf after a 4 year layoff and win a world championship last year.

Probably. Matt hughes was an amazing welterweight, but he peaked when MMA was still fairly young. And Askren is still in the running, but he needs some more wins against legit competition
