Ben Askren on ‘simple’ fight against Jorge Masvidal, blasts ‘delusional’ Nate Diaz

Ben Askren has officially been signed to the UFC for less than a year but he’s already one of the most talked about fighters on the roster.

The undefeated former Olympic wrestler came into the organization with a lot of hype behind him already but Askren has definitely done his part to stay relevant through interviews and media obligations where he has no problem stealing the spotlight from other athletes.

Earlier this year after winning his UFC debut against Robbie Lawler, Askren traveled across the pond to England to essentially challenge the winner of the main event fight between Darren Till and Jorge Masvidal.
