Ben Askren slams “insecure” Dana White hard

 Ben Askren is probably the greatest fighter to never compete in the UFC alongside Fedor Emelianenko and it’s rumored to be issues with UFC front man Dana White that stopped them. Ben spoke with Submission Radio and when he got to the way White treats fighters he went hard in the paint on him saying, “Dana White really can’t stand anyone who won’t cater to his every whim”, and he was just getting warmed up.

Ben Askren says he’s retiring unless he gets GSP

One of the best fighters to never fight in the UFC Octagon is Ben Askren. He is a long time veteran with a record of 18 wins and 0 losses to his name. He said some stuff, Dana White said some stuff when once upon a time it was a possibility he would sign with the UFC and it never went through. On the MMA Hour he said he wouldn’t retire if he could fight Georges St. Pierre. Sorry Ben but GSP may be done, too. Check it out.
