Ben Askren retiring from MMA unless he gets fight with GSP or No. 1 welterweight in the world

[La Paix]

The ONE Championship middleweight titleholder and former Bellator welterweight champion said he would hang up the gloves after his ONE bout with Shinya Aoki last weekend in Singapore. And he’s standing by that, he told Ariel Helwani on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour.

The undefeated Askren is also standing by something else he has said over the last few weeks: He would come out of retirement to face the best welterweight in the world. That provision extends to Georges St-Pierre, the UFC middleweight champion and former welterweight titleholder, Askren said.

Boy, what you up to? Haven’t seen you in a while?

Ben probably thinks he just asked for a fight with himself.

His record doesn't warrant anything he wants. Like, not even close.

I doubt it will happen

 

[BeardOfKnowledge]

I doubt it will happen

and it shouldn't. The UFC is enough of a joke with Welterweight Fedor trying to clog things up because he self sabotaged his career.

I think Ben would beat GSP.

I don’t think so man

I don’t think so man

Have you seen my fight picks? Why even doubt me at this point?

GSP would really let Ben know that he has not been fighting top competition over in Asia. It would shut him up quickly.

Not to take away from his undefeated record but i think we can all agree that he would rack up some L's pretty quickly back in the UFC or with Bellator's expanded roster

 

[GSPTrainingInAPool]

I don’t think so man

he's just stirring the pot looking to cause draaaamaaa

 

[Robbie Hart]

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice and I’m fucking balls deep after you

 

[BeardOfKnowledge]

I think Ben would beat GSP.

Who'd you pick in the Bisping/GSP fight again?

 

[kaladin stormblessed]

Boy, what you up to? Haven’t seen you in a while?
