Ben Askren responds to the loss of UFC Singapore:"},"content":{"rendered":"<div>\n<p id=\"T183Ht\">Ben Askren arrived live on ESPN + at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore at UFC Fight Night 162 when he lost a major event bid for welter veteran Demian Maia for three days at UFC Fight Night 162 today. Round submission (see again here).<\/p>\n<aside id=\"d5brKj\">\n<\/aside>\n<p id=\"ohRNCT\">After a historic five-second knockout loss to Jorge Mas Vidal in July, Askren was hoping to go to a meaningful 170-pound bout in early 2020, signifying a victory with Maia. Unfortunately, in the case of \u201cFunky\u201d Maia&#39;s obedience has also been proven. Lots of wrestler takedown and top pressure.<\/p>\n<aside id=\"5i62uH\">\n<\/aside>\n<p id=\"lJCVsQ\">Askren said UFC&#39;s favor behind the scenes after losing to Maia, &quot;there&#39;s a reason why my father is probably the best grapple in MMA history.&quot; <\/p>\n<p id=\"PzHJKp\">Askren said the main event clash with Maia prior to UFC Singapore was for &quot;Best Grapple in Mixed Martial Arts&quot;. Few people mentioned that Askren could be a former university wrestling champion and Maia could be Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The practitioner goes to the cage.<\/p>\n<p id=\"rJhPVQ\">Askren has been hit hardest, especially considering that he&#39;s been trying to lock UFC title shots since last year&#39;s deal with Demetrious Johnson. His 35-year-old burst into the UFC scene with a controversial submission in Robbie Lawler&#39;s debut, but now has two straight wins inside the Octagon.<\/p>\n<p id=\"qA40Gz\">Askren is one of the most open and honest fighters in the MMA today and wasted some time sending to Twitter to explain the loss of UFC Singapore.<\/p>\n<div id=\"sY6SV5\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I made a bad decision and it failed. Sorry for everyone I disappointed.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ben Askren (@Benaskren) <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Benaskren\/status\/1188113750492172288?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">October 26, 2019<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"r5BSVP\">Askren said, \u201cWe made the wrong decision and we failed. \u201cI&#39;m sorry for everyone I&#39;m disappointed with.<\/p>\n<p id=\"SG18b0\">Currently, fans aren&#39;t sure what Askren will do next. If 2 straight losses occur under his belt, effort will be required to return back to title ownership in 2020. And if a previously retired fighter like &quot;Funky&quot; wasn&#39;t ready to challenge the UFC title, it&#39;s probably time to quit.<\/p>\n<p id=\"04o8WX\"><strong>To view complete UFC Singapore results and ranges <\/strong><strong>Wolf<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"http:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/pre>\n<\/pre>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ben Askren arrived live on ESPN + at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore at UFC Fight Night 162 when he lost a major event bid for welter veteran Demian Maia for three days at UFC Fight Night 162 today.
