The saga between Ben Askren and the UFC continues, this time with Askren throwing some harsh allegations at the UFC welterweight champion.<\/p>\n

He spoke on The MMA Hour<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“It’s hard to describe in full effect unless you’ve been around the wrestling community a long time. He has won so many matches lucky through college. … He was wrestling my teammate Tyron Woodley in the Big 12 finals, 2005-06, somewhere around there, and [the score] was 1-1 in the third. Tyron’s in on a shot, and Johny kept sticking his fingers into Tyron’s mouth. So finally Tyron bites him, which he shouldn’t have done, but when someone’s sticking fingers in your mouth, it’s like, c’mon, so he gave up a point because he bit him, land he lost match 2-1. And it’s like c’mon, is that really how you’re going to lose the Big 12 finals? He was just doing sneaky s– like that all the time.”<\/em><\/p>\n

That’s not all, Askren explained that he once tried to wrestle Hendricks at the All-star classic wrestling meet, but the match never happened.<\/p>\n

“The people at the All-Star Classic said you can’t do that because you’re not the same weight class. I said I don’t care, I’ll make the sacrifice, I’ll go down in weight. I want to beat this dude bad. They never did make it happen. A couple years down the road I heard it was because he turned the match down personally. I can’t confirm or deny that face.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Earlier this summer Askren has a run in with Hendricks at the TUF 19 finale, which Hendricks still denies. <\/p>\n

“I stopped him, I said Johny, go tell Dana [White] we need to fight…His response was \u2018Dana who?’ At this point I’m so dumbfounded he said Dana who, I’m like obviously you know who I’m talking about Johny, don’t be a dummy. I just started laughing, before I finished laughing, he walked off. That was our face to face right there, if he said I didn’t say anything to his face that’s a damn lie.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
