“I saw Ben Askren backstage right after my fight [with Roxanne Modaferri at UFC 230] and he was doing some kind of interview and I was like, ‘what’s up? Like what’s up? What’s your problem?’ He’s like, ‘why don’t you focus on making weight?’ and I’m like, ‘why don’t you mind your own f*cking business?’ And then I started to tell him some more sh*t but he’s there with his wife or whoever that was and he’s trying to do his interview.
But I said something to him too. I’m not scared of nobody. Because what is Ben Askren -what’re you stepping to me for? Like for what? You’re not a troll, you’re not a fan, you’re a fighter. You mad cause I’m in the UFC? Cause more people know about me my ‘four little fights’ and you been out here wrestling everybody to death for the last 20 f*cking years and nobody cares?
Like what are you stepping to me for? So like, I came to him the way I came to you, the way I came to Joe [Rogan] like, ‘what’s up, man?’ and he got all serious and puffed his chest out and I’m like, ‘man, f*ck you, bro’. You’re a 170-pound man what you gonna do?”
It’s no secret that Sijara Eubanks has gotten under some people’s skin since her name got attached to UFC 230. One of those arguably being newest UFC signee, Ben Askren.
