Another star who was recently targeted by Askren on social media was non-other than Kamaru Usman.
In case you didn’t know…
‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ Kamaru Usman is currently coming off a huge win over former Welterweight title contender Rafael Dos Anjos.
Following his victory against RDA, Usman made his claim for the UFC Welterweight Championship, stating that he is willing to fight and challenge for the 170-pound championship in the near future and also called out former Interim Champion, Colby Covington.
The heart of the matter
As many would assume, Ben Askren’s current focus should be on his upcoming UFC debut against former Welterweight Champion, Robbie Lawler. However, Askren, who has been putting almost the entire UFC Welterweight Division on notice recently accused Kamaru Usman with a post on Instagram.
Askren first called out Usman for refusing to fight him and taking up the easy fights in the Welterweight Division instead and then also called out Colby Covington. (H/T: Bloody Elbow)
Askren then blasted Usman, mocking his social media following and asking him to show his face at UFC 233.
What’s next?
Ben Askren will be making his UFC debut on the 26th of January, 2019 at UFC 233.
