Bellator Champ Ben Askren Plans to Take Out Frustrating Schedule on Andrey Koreshkov

BAD MMA News — Wed, 31 Jul 2013 01:49:06 +0000

There is only one 170-pound mixed martial artist outside of the UFC that is turning heads. His name is Ben Askren , undefeated Bellator welterweight champion. And he is preparing to put his belt on the line for the fourth time when he steps in the cage with Andrey Koreshkov on Wednesday. Askren is currently undefeated at 11-0, and in many pundits’ eyes, he is the next prospect to step out from the shadow of divisional kingpin and UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre. With wins over MMA veterans like Jay Hieron, Nick Thompson, Douglas Lima and Lyman Good (Hieron, Good and Thompson being former champions of other mid-major promotions), Askren has proven that – despite only being in the sport for four years – this 29-year-old isn’t intimidated by any perceived lack of experience.

UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre met with media during the UFC World Tour 2013 stop in Las Vegas on Monday. As he readies for his upcoming bout with Johny Hendricks at UFC 167, GSP talked about Saturday’s UFC on Fox 8 co-main event between his teammate and friend Rory MacDonald and Jake Ellenberger. MacDonald walked away with the victory against “The Juggernaut,” but questions lingered as to whether it warranted a future title shot. In this video shot by MMAWeekly staff writer Ryan McKinnell, St-Pierre also addresses the mounting pressure of a potential match-up between the two friends and training partners. St-Pierre meets Johny Hendricks on Nov. 16 at UFC 167 inside the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Be sure to Like MMAWeekly.com on Facebook and Follow @MMAWeeklycom on Twitter .
