ASKREN IS DISMISSED FROM BELLATOR AND ISN'T NECESSARY TO UFC

Friday, 15 November 2013, 14:53

Bellator promotion officially exempts from the contract of the champion in light-middleweight Ben Askren(12-0) , Dana White reports that in UFC to Askren not a place.

"I many times said that Ben - absolutely unilateral fighter who completely dominates that is able to do. We spoke with Ben much and it became clear that time to us with it came to move diversely.

We refuse any rights to carrying out matches with Askren and he can be signed by any promotion. Ben was with Bellator from the very beginning of the career, I respect it and everything that it reached, and I wish it all the best", - told Rebni.

When business reached direct negotiations, the president of UFC Deyn White sharply included back and declared that Askren's chances to survive at the level of UFC are quite doubtful:

"We aren't interested in Askren's signing. If it is serious - from what you took, what its level is rather high for UFC? It hardly coped with Jay Hiron, you in a course? To it is over what to work, he can fight in other organization and improve the style before will come to us.

Askren - the champion of Bellator, but it isn't necessary of. It speaks to you about something? They don't care of the fighters. The fact of that they easily allow to leave to the unbeaten fighter, says that for people at them in the management. It is a pity to me the guys being on the contract in this hole", - White declared.

And nevertheless, already the ex-champion of Bellator without work, seemingly, shouldn't sit: quickly growing promotion of WSOF already declared that started carrying on negotiations with Askren's camp though it will be possible to speak about their results yet soon.
