Ben Askren utmanar och hånar Darren Till: ”You need to take care of your kid that you abandoned”

askren vs till rumor

Det historiska bytet mellan ONE C och UFC är genomfört. Den obesegrade welterviktsmästaren från ONE och Bellator Ben Askren har klivit över till UFC. Från UFC kliver den forne flugviktsmästaren med historiska elva raka titelförsvar, Demetrious ”Mighty Mouse” Johnson, över till ONE.

Nu är frågan vem Askren skall möta i UFC. Han har redan fått utmaningar av Jorge Masvidal och Mike Perry. Det verkar dock som att den obesegrade welterviktaren vill ha en match mot Darren Till. En relativt enkel match menar Askren. Genom MMAJunkie Radio sade han följande om Till.

You know who I think sounds like an easy target – and I’m kind of picking him out because he sucks? It’s Darren Till. And I don’t really like him, either. So it makes it really easy that I don’t like him – I’d like to beat him up. I think he sucks, so it’d be an easy fight. He’s ranked very highly, obviously.

It’s like the kind of kid that needs to be taught a lesson. So I’m going to be like his good older brother. I’m going to take him in there, I’m going to hold him down, I’m going to slap him around.

And then when no one’s listening, I’ll probably tell him, like, ‘You need to be a little more humble. You need to be a little bit more respectful. You need to take care of your kid that you abandoned. Beat his ass, make him a grown man.

Vidare kan Askren tänka sig ”ta hand om” Colby Covington efter att Tyron Woodley är färdig med honom.

You know who I would love to beat up and I’m pretty sure Tyron is fighting him, is (Colby Covington). I’ll be like Tyron’s street sweeper, right? He knocks him down and I clean him out. I don’t like Colby at all. He is such a jackass

Askren har inte glömt bort lättviktsmästaren Nurmagomedov.

I think it’s great, because I think I’m better at what he does than he is. And if you look at us we have very, very similar games. I’m just a little bit better at it than he is. Understand what I’m saying: I like what he does, I like how he does it, because I do it the same damn way. I’m just better at it. Obviously, in some of his past fights, he has been stopped on his takedowns, but one of the things that wrestlers fail to do, which is super important, is you need to be persistent.

You’ve just got to keep going after it and that’s what he does. He’s a man on a mission – if you remember that Barboza fight, I believe Barboza stopped two or three early takedowns but then all of a sudden Barboza got fatigued and Khabib just beat him senseless.

Askren talade med MMA-reporter Ariel Helwani under måndagens MMA-show och säger till Helwani att han ännu inte fått någon klarhet i vem han kommer möta i sin UFC-debut.
