Ben Askren tells story of why ONE title fight against 'clown' Luis Santos fell apart on fight day

ONE welterweight champion Ben Askren is fed up with Luis Santos, and he's not staying quiet about why the pair's fight fell apart the day it was supposed to take place in Singapore at ONE: Pride of Lions.

Askren (14-0, 1 NC), a former Bellator champion, said the strange behavior from his opponent began back in the summer, after their competitive first meeting ended with an anticlimactic 'no contest' due to a first-round eyepoke.

"So ONE FC asks him, let's fight in June," Askren recounted on a video he posted Friday morning to Facebook.
