UFC president Dana White said early Sunday morning he plans on booking a rematch between Ben Askren and Robbie Lawler following their controversial fight at UFC 235.
Askren made his highly-anticipated debut against Lawler, a former UFC welterweight champion, on the pay-per-view main card. The event took place Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Lawler hurt Askren early in the first round with a slam and powerful ground-and-pound, but “Funky” recovered and got Lawler into a submission. Referee Herb Dean stopped the fight after he thought “Ruthless” went unconscious, but Lawler seems to have never gone out cold.
