At this point I don't think Askren would be willing to fight for the small amount the UFC would be willing to pay him. He had a bit of name value at the end of his Bellator run but you never hear him mentioned anymore, I think he's realised he made a mistake signing for ONE FC.

As much as I can understand why he did it, slagging off Dana and the UFC probably wasn't a great business move. I think he's stuck in either well paid but not all that rewarding smaller promotions or getting a new career. I could see the UFC offering him something crazy like $15,000/$15,000.What choice did he really have? Unless WSOF was offering something. The UFC and Bellator seemed to be taking a stand against each other and Askren at the same time...
It's not beyond imagination that he could go the way of Cole Konrad - even though he's undefeated, just saying "screw MMA" and getting an office job.
I guess he just has one of those personalities you either love or hate...I don't get the people hating on this video. I really don't. This is some comedy gold.
I said the same thing and now I'm reading it wasn't actually him singing the first part lol.He actually sang all right for the first half.
