“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. Trust me when I tell you this, Ben Askren does not want to fight in the UFC.

This means we could have a very strange scenario where two of the best welterweights in the world could be fighting each other at middleweight. Honestly, who cares about that asterisk?
