Victor Cui: Decision on Ben Askren fight on hold after lack of professionalism by Luis Santos

ONE Championship is currently without its championship headliner, after Luis Santos failed to make weight for his "Pride of Lions" rematch against welterweight kingpin Ben Askren on Friday (Nov. 13) inside Singapore Indoor Stadium.

Safe to say "Funky" wasn't a happy camper.

"So sick of amateur Jabronis that refuse to honor the contract put in front of them," Askren wrote on Twitter. "Santos missed [weight]. My demand is that Santos makes 190 pounds tomorrow or else the fight is off."

When asked for a status on "Askren vs. Santos," ONE Championship CEO Victor Cui told MMAmania.
