Ben Askren is certainly making waves since the Ultimate Fighting Championship acquired him last year in a fighter trade with One Championship with former UFC flyweight king Demetrious Johnson heading the other way.
For the past several months, Askren has been calling out numerous fighters on social media, and the undefeated 34-year-old finally made his Octagon debut at UFC 235 earlier this month, controversially submitting former welterweight champ Robbie Lawler. Fans were split on the referee’s decision to end the fight, and UFC President Dana White and Lawler both called for a rematch.
