I have no problem with Askren not being on my PPVs.
which is to put the best people in the world in the Octagon and let them fight it out to see who the best is
Askren is boring as fuck but I do feel for the guy. He got shit on by both Bellator & UFC.
well, do we even know what he was asking for? what kinda contract .. lol at everyone hating on dana for this ... dana is right that he hasn't had that much big name experience on his resume, so maybe askren was askin for too much ... i can see him getting 15 to show, 15 to win being realistic and fight his way up from there
To think Dana wouldn't sign a legitimate fighter because of gripes with that other bald guy is pretty damning. Surely there is another reason for all of this.
Lol Askren is boring , but he's a boss
Except for the fact that he even offered to fight Rory Macdonald and if he loses, he would retire AND NOT TAKE A PAYCHECK.
If the UFC truly believed he wasn't good enough, there's no way they wouldn't pass on that offer. That's why this isn't about money, or him not being good enough. You see how quickly they acted on the James Toney challenge.
And frankly, I don't even think it's about his fighting style either. Jake Shields wasn't exactly turning heads when the UFC signed him.
