Ben Askren's debut at UFC 235 at UFC 235 was clouded by controversy. After winning a victory over an appeal against the disputed pit stop by referee Herb Dean, the undefeated welterweight claimed the UFC London star's winner between Jorge Masvidal and Darren Till for his next fight.
The legend of Askren did not please much to Masvidal, who spoke with MMAjunkie during a pre-fight interview.
"It's a small groupie, man," Masvidal told Askren. "He's calling my name. Who are you? Herb Dean gave you a win and you call people? Give Robbie Lawler the respect you owe.
Askren was frank about his refusal to face Lawler in a rematch, which Masvidal also had something to say.
"As a man, as a fighter and proud of what I do, I choke somebody or I think I'm choking him, but when I see the rebroadcast and that I see the guy lift his thumbs, I would say: "Dude, I did not choke this guy," he said. he said. "And as a man with pride, I would say," Let's do it again, "especially after he decapitated me, while I was beheaded. "We're going again," because I certainly did not choke you. Because I have never seen anyone fall asleep like that. It's the first.
"But it's his weasel and his coward. No, no, I'm already gone. I would not dare to repeat this route. It just shows you his character. He is a b-ch. "
Askren said that he would be sitting on the side of the cage at UFC London, which will be held this Saturday at the O2 Arena. He will be co-starred in another welterweight match between Leon Edwards and Gunnar Nelson.
