QUICK TWITT | Teammates Lobby UFC To Sign Ben Askren

Not only do our readers on BJPENN.COM think the UFC should sign top welterweight prospect, Ben Askren, but so do his teammates.

The Roufus Sports fight team, which holds many notable fighters on its roster, including UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis, has taken to twitter in support of Ben.

Ben and company met with UFC officials yesterday afternoon to discuss the free agents potential signing, but no word has been given about how those discussions went.

While we wait for that news to break, check out the love Askren’s getting from his team:
