Benson probably leaving UFC.

 

[AminoAcid]

Feed him to Askren

 

[Aerose91]

He said he wants to retire in the UFC but test the free market. Probably to up his demand

 

[Donny White]

The Korean MMA scene will pay him bank to smash cans, most likely.

Probably leaving UFC....?

So what does testing the free market involve..

Seeing what Bellator will pay
Seeing what he can get in Japan
Maybe Legacy FC will offer him next to nothing

Its not like there are loads of options open to him.

He also says very clearly "When I retire I will retire in the UFC"

So basically hes just looking to see if he can get a load of money for fighting once or twice in Bellator, or a one off fight deal to fight in ONE FC and then coming back

I'm looking forward to Dana's response. I'm sure
it will piss me off.

 

[Damianj]

let Askren lay on him for 25 minutes

Fixed that for you.

Benson vs Fedor

 

[Aegon Spengler]

Former LW champ with 2 wins in the UFC WW division. Probably will do OK in the free market.

I'm looking forward to Dana's response. I'm sure
it will piss me off.

If Benson leaves he will say he's an idiot and sucks. But if Benson comes back he will immediately market him again as former WEC & UFC champ and one of the best fighters in history who is highly intelligent.

that soudns pretty accurate

:icon_lol:

Feed him to Askren

you mean feed askren to him

but that would be a good fight indeed

finally askren would fight someone legit

 

[Lucifer Alpha]

It worked for Giblert.

 

[SuperiorHands]

Feed him to Askren

He would absolutely maul askren...

 

[Defeat Unknown]

Good for him. Hope he finds the best possible deal. I don't know if UFC values a guy like him, which is pretty sad.

 

[Davemeddlehed]

Feed him to Askren

Really hope he stays with the UFC... But...i'd be lying if I said I wasn't interested in seeing him vs Askren/Shields/Gaethje.

 

[Goatenstein]

LOL at UFC nuthuggers who think Benson has a chance in hell against Askren.

I'm no UFC but hugger and I'm not some zuffa boy who thinks Askreb sucks, but I think Benson would beat him. Certainly saying he has no chance in hell is idiotic

 

[Failwani]

If he really wants to fight often, and be able to showcase his old exciting style, he needs to go to Bellator and wipe out their lightweight and welterweight divisions for a few years. Bellator could probably book him once a month.

Negotiation tactic
