If Ben Askren could get a straight answer from UFC president Dana White to one question, it’s a no-brainer what he’d ask.
“Why didn’t you sign me in 2013?” Askren, 38, said in a recent interview with MMA Junkie Radio. “I don’t know. Tell me. I just want to know.”
Back in 2013, Askren was one of the most talked-about MMA fighters outside of the UFC. He’d entered the sport in 2009 with a wrestling pedigree that included two NCAA Division I national titles at the University of Missouri, a gold medal in the U.S. National Championships, and an appearance in the 2008 Summer Olympics.
