Ben Askren had a rap written especially and prepared for his friend Tyron Woodley at today’s UFC 235 media day.

Askren will make his promotional debut on Saturday night as he faces Robbie Lawler in a featured main-card bout while his close friend and training partner, welterweight champion Woodley, will defend his title against Kamaru Usman in the co-main event of the evening.

Both men teamed up earlier today for an open workout session. Then, the unexpected happened. “Funky” busted a rhyme. Watch it here (courtesy of MMAjunkie on Twitter):

I don’t think Askren will be quitting his day job anytime soon.

Colby Covington is keeping a very close eye on this weekend’s (Sat. March 2, 2019) UFC 235 pay-per-view (PPV) co-main event.

UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley will defend his title against Kamaru Usman. Covington, once the interim 170-pound champion, had been considered to face Woodley.

Despite this, Covington is still lobbying hard for a shot at the winner between Woodley and Usman. He is in Las Vegas for this week’s fights and even took it upon himself to crash Usman’s open workout. Covington came wearing his UFC title, a Make America Great Again hat, and a megaphone which he used to shout insults at “The Nigerian Nightmare”.
