On Monday, Bellator Welterweight Champion, Ben Askren, will be meeting with the UFC's CEO and Chairman, Lorenzo Fertitta to discuss a possible future in the UFC's Welterweight Division. Dana White insists that he is still not interested in signing Ben Askren despite Bellator not fighting for Askren.
Recently Ben Askren has called out UFC Welterweight Champion, GSP and his training partner Rory MacDonald stating that he would fight them and if he lost would not collect pay for losing. Askren is a confident welterweight that the UFC should at least take a chance on despite his 'boring' style. He has a smothering wrestling style that seems to overwhelm all of his opponents. GSP has been criticized many times for laying and praying, while Askren still advances his positions while on the ground. If Askren were to further develop his striking I think that he would be a dangerous opponent to any welterweight in the UFC, even the current dominant champ St-Pierre.
Should the UFC sign Askren?
