Following his dominant win over Ben Askren at at Beat the Street’s “Grapple at the Garden,” UFC president Dana White has expressed his interest at seeing Jordan Burroughs compete in the UFC.
Burroughs defeated Askren by 11-0, winning by technical fall in the second period. Askren, who is undefeated in MMA and made his UFC debut against Robbie Lawler back in March, was an accomplished freestyle wrestler himself before transitioning over to MMA after competing at the 2008 Olympic games.
Talking on The Jim Rome Show earlier this week, White spoke about his interest in Burroughs and the history behind his and Askren’s relationship.
