Askren is a real bad guy, Dana is scared of him and won't promote him because he can't control him.
This is what the sport needs right now. A real rooting interest for all the disgruntled fans. A guy that's going to crush the UFC chosen ones and golden boys.
Rory will be the face of the UFC alright, just wait until you see what 20+ minutes of Ben Askren dropping ground and pound does.
He's not a pretend thug or a fake street guy who is going around kissing the bosses ring religiously so he can wear a rented UFC Rolex or drink some hand me down Whisky.
He isn't using his position in the sport to juice and drain some Podcast cash while being mediocre, he's here to BE THE BEST IN THE SPORT.
WIPE YOUR TEARS GEORGES. AN OLYMPIC ALL AMERICAN ACCEPTS YOUR RANDOM DRUG TESTING CHALLENGE.
This is the real fucking deal.
MAN UP UFC.
I missed you CRE was beginning to wonder where you went. 
Askren also not on the juice.. Should be in UFC already 
"Hector Lombard would crush Ben Askren"
OH WAIT
WHAT HAPPENED?

The UFC missed the boat on Ben. Those morons didn't know the opportunity they had when he was a free agent.
Askren walks the walk, hes the real american gangster in mma.
Dana White only signs guys he wants to be a fan of.
Why would you sign a guy you don't like to beat up guys that you like?
This is some tragic bullshit.
ONEFC has more money than the UFC to give Ben Askren apparently.
What happened to the integrity of the sport?
They refused to pay the best guy @ 170, because he doesn't have "the look" and criticized the UFC CORRECTLY for their pathetic stance on PEDs and other relevant issues.
Instead of trying to pretend that Askren was wrong and they were right, the UFC should be apologizing, backpedaling and figuring out a way to trade/share talent with ONEFC so they can get Askren sooner than later...
The UFC only wants to cross promote when they're the little guy though, Pride never had a problem letting UFC guys fight in Pride, why is the UFC so stingy with others now that the roles are reversed?

I think that Askren should come out to this in Calgary.
UFC better hope that SANTOS doesn't beat their big ticket Ben Askren.
61-9 and blatantly on PEDS, this is a dangerous fight for anyone @ 170.
But Askren will fight anyone.He needs to finish that guy in the first two minutes to send a message.
Shy Guy - The UFC missed the boat on Ben. Those morons didn't know the opportunity they had when he was a free agent.
This right here.
I hope Ben asks for 10 x more money when the UFC comes begging him for his services. I'm Okay with Askren never fighting in the UFC unless it's on his terms. Like Fedor did. Good for both of them.
somebody please get CRE a blue name. I don't want to miss out on the next time he posts Y'all must've forgot, and I am too lazy to click the link.

I should have to pay for my blue name just like everyone else.

War Askren!!!
He'll be in the UFC in the next couple of years unless he manages to lose in ONE FC somehow.
His beef with Dana and the UFC brass is mostly just hot air, nothing that can't be squashed with the right contract.
Holding your opponent for dear life because you're afraid to fight and to get hit is not fighting. He could stay home for the same results.
R1WARRIOR - Holding your opponent for dear life because you're afraid to fight and to get hit is not fighting. He could stay home for the same results.If you haven't watched him fight then you shouldn't comment.
Preach on brother!
Ben is being saved for a rainy day. That means expect him to be signed by like May.
Proof of the UFC being desperate to sign him?
