Ben Askren to Dana White

u]"I have already told Dana, obviously via twitter, not face-to-face, I don't have his cell phone number; I told him I would fight 'GSP' for free if I lost. If I lost, you don't have to pay me anything, that's how confident in my abilities I am. Now[/u], I'll make a new offer to Dana. Obviously, 'GSP' and Hendricks are going to have a rematch, barring 'GSP's' retirement, which I don't think is going to stand. That was in the heat of the moment. Rory MacDonald is another guy that, he really just bugs me and he irks me. It was really nice to see him get knocked off his pedestal on Saturday night, but, if Dana White were willing, if I lost to him (Rory), I would fight for free and retire from the sport of MMA because that's how confident I am that I will beat Rory MacDonald. I am not completely financially motivated, I obviously want to make a living, but at the same time, I want to beat the best guys in the world."

Zuffa does not want another "grinder" Askren should go pro disc golf

Askren wants the best competition in the world and he's willing to put his career on the line. What a warrior.

If Dana let Antonio McKee come in for a fight, I have no doubt that Askren will be in there.in 2014.

Rory MacDonald isn't the best competition in the world.

Better than anything Bellator or M-1 throws at him.

Rashid Magomedov and Alexander Yakovlev would beat MacDonald

I think Adam Khaliev will beat Rory now that he's in the UFC. His little brother Hussein Khaliev who's been fighting in Fight Nights and M-1 should also if given the chance and so would Andrey Koreshkov over at Bellator.

Dana has to keep room for next season's TUF rejects instead because the UFC is home to "the best in the world"
