#SIGNBENASKREN
“To anyone who points to my Jay Heiron WIN to discredit my abilities consider this. At that point I was LESS than 3 years into my career and relatively inexperienced despite already being the Bellator Champion. I had a tough fight against the #16 ranked fight in the world(at the time) and was able to get the job done. I have learned and progressed significantly since then.
As a point of reference the man fighting for the WW UFC Belt this weekend Johny Hendricks LOST a Unanimous Dec fight to Rick Story(who wasn’t near the top 16 at that point) after fighting for MORE than 3 years.
Moral of story high level wrestlers progress rapidly through their career. Despite my inexperience at the time I was able get the job done against a high level experienced fighter. I am significantly better than I was then and will continue to get the job done against any WW put in front of me.” -Ben Askren

“Great conversation about MMA old school till now, but he was way too interested in what shelter areas I was staying at on the #LHHT and when” -Tara LaRosa
“This guy is the type w too much time &money. I got a really weird vibe from all the detailed questions he asked” -Tara LaRosa
“This is one of those times when I really wish I had @TimKennedyMMA skills. I don’t like feeling like this. He asked if I was carrying a gun” -Tara LaRosa
“@TaraLaRosa that’s why you should always be carrying a gun. I’m kind if a bad ass but I always carry.” -Tim Kennedy
“@TimKennedyMMA it’s going to the top of my priority list for when I get back to ABQ. Too many people, with too many agendas nowadays” -Tara LaRosa
