Ben Askren
Ben "Funky" Askren is a Welterweight competitor in the UFC carrying a professional record of 19-2-0. Known as a wrestling-based fighter, his UFC tracked bouts show modest striking output — 63 significant strikes landed across three appearances — while his grappling remains the foundation of his game, though his five UFC takedowns landed reflect the resistance elite welterweights present.
Askren entered the UFC in March 2019 and defeated Robbie Lawler by submission at UFC 235, a result that announced his arrival at the top of the division. That momentum stalled quickly, however, as Jorge Masvidal stopped him by KO/TKO at UFC 239 in what became one of the most discussed finishes of that year. Askren then suffered a second consecutive loss, tapping to Demian Maia via submission at UFC Fight Night: Maia vs. Askren in October 2019, leaving him with a 1-2 mark across his three UFC outings.
