Askren has revenge on his mind
Askren hopes to return to winning ways in a main event welterweight clash against Demian Maia at UFC Fight Night 162 on 26th October in Singapore. As he gears up for the showdown, former Olympic wrestler ‘Funky’ remains confident about bouncing back from the disastrous defeat against Masvidal at UFC 239.
Funky admits that the ‘BMF’ title bout is a marketing gem
Although he is not fond of either of the two fighters headlining UFC 244, Askren does admit that the BMF title is a marketing gem.
His nemesis Masvidal however, has no time to think about Askren right now as he gears up to take on a completely different beast in Nate Diaz for the one-off BMF title in the main event at UFC 244 on November 2, 2019, at Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York. The event will mark the organization’s 500th live event and is set to be a blockbuster.
Do you think Askren deserves a rematch against Jorge Masvidal? Who do you think would win if there is a rematch? Please let us know in the comments section below.
