Ben Askren: Georges St-Pierre should fight me because ‘I can’t hit that hard’

Late last week, Ben Askren successfully defended the ONE Championship welterweight title by stopping Shinya Aoki in less than a minute of action. This fight also served as his swan song, as announced by ONE’s founder Chatri Sityodtong two months in advance.

But even after a strong statement win for his retirement fight, Askren does not seem content with his accomplishments. Less than a day after facing Aoki, “Funky” immediately went on Twitter to implicitly call out UFC middleweight champion Georges St-Pierre.

@GeorgesStPierre how’s the spring weather in Montreal?
