“The thing is with Ben Askren is that Ben Askren doesn’t really want to fight here, in my opinion. People that are close to him say the same thing. The guy is making a ton of money to fight nobodies, but when you talk and you say a lot of things it keeps your name out there.

I said, 'You need to send me a letter, before I even talk to you or meet with you or do anything, I need a letter saying you're a free agent or whatever.'" "He's not a free agent. He's under contract with ONE FC and he's going to have to fulfill his contract with them before I would even meet with him or talk to him."UFC 231 in Toronto is in dire need of a headline act. GSP wants to return on that card and Askren would have absolutely no problem playing the role of the villain. For the love of all that is good and violent, please, please, PLEASE make it happen!
