Jake Paul Vs. Ben Askren Fight Accused Of Being Rigged

Jake Paul won retired MMA fighter/wrestler Ben Askren with a shocking first-round knockout in Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Saturday night. It was the third fight in the YouTuber’s boxing career.

Paul knocked Asken to the ground with a massive right hand to win the fight right after it started. All in all, the fight lasted less than one minute. Asken was able to stand back up, but the ref decided to waive it off.

Recall that Jake Paul’s fight with Nate Robinson led to memes of the knockout flying around social media, but in this case, it led to a whole lot of speculation that the match was rigged in Paul’s favor.

For many fans on Twitter, Askren’s effort was simply lacking, all while the referee seemingly ended the match way too early.

The hashtag #rigged has since been trending on social media last night as there were various people who felt as though Triller and Paul were simply looking for easy money. Even Askren seemed to be fine with the knockout, which led to even more suspicion.

Apparently, it’s because people wanted Paul to get knocked out, so it only makes sense that such a narrative would be floating around as a coping mechanism of sorts. Regardless, things do look suspicious, at least for now.
