After eight years as a professional mixed martial artist, undefeated ONE Championship welterweight titleholder Ben Askren will be hanging up his gloves for good to assume a new role with the company. For the former Bellator MMA champion’s retirement fight, he is slated to face grappling whiz Shinya Aoki.
Askren and Aoki will be part of ONE Championship’s Singapore card on November 24th, as confirmed by the company’s founder Chatri Sityodtong in a recent Facebook post.
