When former Bellator welterweight champion, Ben Askren, became a free agent, the UFC didn’t even make him an offer to test his skills against the world’s best.
Forced to go to Asia’s OneFC, Askren is now taking issue with the recent signing of Pat Cummins.
Cummins is a 4-0 light-heavyweight wrestling prospect and will serve in the UFC 170 co-main event against Daniel Cormier. The Team Reign fighter took the fight on just nine-days notice.
Here’s what Ben said:
@danawhite so I haven't fought anyone, but a guy who is 4-0 and opponents comb. record is 9-19 gets an immediate co main fight. Lets hear
