Despite the fact that Dana White is warming up to the idea of having Ben Askren fight inside the Octagon, it seems that ship may have sailed, according to Funky’s recent comments. Since signing with ONE FC earlier this year, Ben Askren has been on a roll, earning two first-round stoppage victories in his first couple of fights with the overseas mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion. His most recent win saw him dominate Nobutatsu Suzuki from the opening bell en route to a 74-second technical knockout victory this past weekend (Aug. 29, 2014) in Dubai, earning him the promotion’s welterweight title (see it).
With four straight consecutive finishes to his credit, Funky has shed his lay-and-pray label and even got Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White to warm up to the idea of one day adding him to the UFC roster. This, after White and Co. passed on the chance of signing the former Bellator champion first, thanks to a rocky history between Dana and the wrestling guru. So what does Ben have to say now that the world’s largest MMA promotion might be interested in his services down the road?
Ben Askren: It's disgusting to watch grown men grovel in UFC and cater to Dana White
