Are you dumb enough to believe that or are you clickbaiting? Askren has clearly stated that he wants a shot at the title.
Will beating Lawler again get him a shot? Lawler is now 1-3 in his last 4 with his only win being over a 155 pound gatekeeper. I expect if the UFC guaranteed Askren a title shot with another win over Lawler he would be happy to sign up to fight him again.
Askren needs a win over someone with some rank related credibility. Masvidal just knocked out a guy that was ranked #3 (not that I agree with that ranking) who had just fought for the title.
Covington is fighting Usman, Askren won't fight Woodley, RDA has lost the last 2 fights, Till just lost 2 in a row, Thompson is 1-3-1 in his last 5, Maia is 1-3 in his last 4 and Ponzi doesn't have any top 10 wins.
Masvidal is his only option at this point.
