When talking to MMAFighting, Askren was honest about the defeat and revealed why hiding was the worst possible option, an approach that Ronda Rousey took.
Askren takes a positive approach
Ahead of his big main event fight against former title challenger Demian Maia at Singapore, Askren spoke to MMAFighting about his loss and was very candid about it, saying:
He admitted that hiding was the worst thing that can happen, referring to Ronda Rousey’s approach after being knocked out by Holly Holm in November 2015.
In the same interview, Askren admitted that he wanted to wait until December to fight, but he was approached a week later with an offer to headline a card at Singapore. He also revealed that he took precautions and advice from friends who are doctors, and ensured that he is completely healthy and ready to fight this October.
