There’s no doubt about it: Ben Askren is one of the best welterweight prospects in mixed martial arts.
Askren, the former Olympic wrestler who only became a professional MMA fighter last year, completely dominated Dan Hornbuckle to win the Bellator Fighting Championships Season 2 welterweight tournament Thursday night in Kansas City. The victory earns Askren a shot at Bellator welterweight champion Lyman Good, and more significantly, it makes a major statement that there’s a major player in the welterweight division in MMA.
