“I saw Ben Askren backstage right after my fight [with Roxanne Modaferri at UFC 230] and he was doing some kind of interview and I was like, ‘what’s up? Like what’s up? What’s your problem?’ He’s like, ‘why don’t you focus on making weight?’ and I’m like, ‘why don’t you mind your own f*cking business?’ And then I started to tell him some more sh*t but he’s there with his wife or whoever that was and he’s trying to do his interview.
But I said something to him too. I’m not scared of nobody. Because what is Ben Askren -what’re you stepping to me for? Like for what? You’re not a troll, you’re not a fan, you’re a fighter. You mad cause I’m in the UFC? Cause more people know about me my ‘four little fights’ and you been out here wrestling everybody to death for the last 20 f*cking years and nobody cares?
Like what are you stepping to me for? So like, I came to him the way I came to you, the way I came to Joe [Rogan] like, ‘what’s up, man?’ and he got all serious and puffed his chest out and I’m like, ‘man, f*ck you, bro’. You’re a 170-pound man what you gonna do?”
