Ben Askren is a perfect 14-0 in his professional MMA career and although he doesn’t fight in the UFC believes that he is the best welterweight in the world:
One hundred percent, Askren said, I think I am the best welterweight in the world.
Askren remains confident that he will retain his One Championship crown, and he has made it clear in interviews and through Twitter and various other social media outlets that he would someday like to face off with Hendricks, the former UFC welterweight champion.
It doesn’t matter if Hendricks has a belt or not, Askren said, I’d like to fight him, for sure.
Askren holds Lawler, the reigning UFC welterweight titleholder, in high regard.
I’d say the toughest fight for me is Lawler, as he has good takedown defense and he hits really hard, Askren said. Robbie has a great streak going, and I think he is a really tough fighter.
