When asked if he and UFC president Dana White will ever be friends, Ben Askren didn’t get his hopes up.
“Wild sh-t happens in the world, but that would be one of the wildest,” Askren told MMA Fighting at UFC 235 media day on Wednesday. “Wouldn’t that be wild?”
Askren, who meets Robbie Lawler on Saturday’s UFC 235 pay-per-view card in Las Vegas, doesn’t have the healthiest relationship with White. Long before the UFC signed Askren late last year, White for years had the belief that Askren hadn’t done enough to deserve a call to the UFC.
