Luis Santos: ‘Pu--y’ Ben Askren’s demands don’t make sense

No decision has been made yet for the ONE Championship 35 main event, but Luis Santos isn’t happy with Ben Askren’s decision.

Scheduled to take on welterweight champion Askren in a five-round battle in Singapore on Friday, Santos failed to make weight, coming in two pounds over the 170-pound limit, and "Funky" won’t accept to fight him unless he shows up under 190 pounds in a second weigh-in slated for tonight.

Disappointed for missing weight, "Sapo" isn’t confident he will be able to hold his weight down until the fight, and believes Askren could be using this as an excuse not to fight.
