Ben Askren is ready to prove he’s one of the best welterweights on the planet when he makes his Octagon debut at UFC 233 but he’s admittedly a little let down with his choice of opponents.

Ben Askren strongly believes that the UFC and its President Dana White hopes that he suffers a defeat by the hands of Robbie Lawler. According to ESPN’s Brett Okamoto, the UFC is close to booking Askren vs. Lawler at the upcoming UFC 233 pay-per-view event.
According to the former ONE and Bellator welterweight champion, he thinks that this fight selection was no accident. Instead, he thinks the Las Vegas-based promotion handpicked the former UFC welterweight champion to fight him in his promotional debut.
“He’s probably the guy in the top five with the best opportunity to beat me,” Askren told ESPN (H/T to MMaNews). “He has pretty good wrestling and he’s obviously a heavy striker. If you want someone to beat me, that’s probably the best you’ll find.”
To Askren, it’s an obvious move as they don’t want him to win under the UFC banner. However, make no mistake about it, he doesn’t take any offense to it.
“It’s obvious. They don’t want me to win. (Dana White) will deny it, but he should just come out and say, ‘I don’t like Ben Askren. I think he’s a jackass, and I want to see him get beat up.’ That’d be cool, and I would take no offense to that whatsoever.”
UFC 233 takes place on January 26, 2019 at Honda Center in Anaheim, California. There’s speculation that a UFC bantamweight title bout is being targeted for this show. That fight would be between the current champion T.J. Dillashaw and current UFC Flyweight champion Henry Cejudo.
The main card will air on pay-per-view at 10 p.m. ET. The preliminary card will air on ESPN at 8 p.m. ET and the promotion’s streaming service, UFC Fight Pass.

Daniel Cormier may be defending his heavyweight title at UFC 230 this weekend (Sat., November 3, 2018) against Derrick Lewis, but the double champ is still eyeing his big-money fight with Brock Lesnar.
Cormier knows he has his hands full at Madison Square Garden this weekend. “The Black Beast” has won nine of his last 10 fights and is a legitimate contender to “DC’s” crown. On top of it all, if Cormier loses to Lewis at UFC 230, he can kiss his Lesnar payday goodbye. However, if “DC” gets the job done like he has done nearly every other time in his past, then he may be looking at another quick turnaround.
The promotion recently announced UFC 233. The event is set to go down at The Honda Center in Anaheim, California, on January 26, 2019. That date has piqued the champ-champ’s interest.
“January 26 in Anaheim,” pondered Cormier. “Is Brock eligible by then?” asked “DC” during a recent media scrum earlier today (Thurs., Nov 1, 2018, in New York City.
Before Cormier can entertain welcoming Brock back into the Octagon, Lesnar must satisfy a six-month United States Anti Doping Agency (USADA) window. He will not be given any exceptions this time around, however.
Indeed, if “The Beast Incarnate” does take care of his USADA obligations he should be good to go come January 26. “DC” has already started the war of words with Lesnar, as the champ said Lesnar looks to be complying with USADA given his ever-shrinking frame.
“Well, he looks smaller on WWE right now? You see his face? He looks tiny. Yeah, maybe on January 26. I think I have a wrestling tournament that weekend, But we will see,” added Cormier.
Despite the trash talk and their UFC 226 post-fight altercation, Cormier actually likes Lesnar and admires what the WWE star has been able to accomplish.
“I like Brock, I really do. Brock just isn’t going to take no sh*t. Brock isn’t going to mess around with you. But, I like Brock. I have known him for a long time, I met Brock in 1998,” said Cormier, before he was interrupted by a gift of chocolates handed to him by a reporter.
If Cormier and Lesnar do get booked for January 2,6 it would be a blow to Bellator MMA. The finale of their World Heavyweight Grand Prix is the same night, also in California.
For fight fans, it would turn into quite the explosive night.
