Askren: Maybe I’ll fight Diaz if he can ‘stay off the pipe’
Ben Askren: “Well, if Nick Diaz can stay off the pipe, maybe I’ll fight him. He’s like taking down a wet paper bag. I don’t think I’d have much trouble.”
Former Bellator champion Ben Askren was recently a guest on ‘MMA Roasted’ hosted by comedian Adam Hunter. Askren spent a good deal of time on the podcast and detailed everyone he could beat, including Nick Diaz, who’s he’s not sure could stop smoking pot long enough to take a fight with him:
“Diaz, man he ain’t even fighting no more, why would I talk about me against someone who’s retired? Well, if Nick Diaz can stay off the pipe, maybe I’ll fight him. He’s like taking down a wet paper bag. I don’t think I’d have much trouble. He’d probably be flipping me off and shit, but I’ll just smile at him.”
