Ben Askren believes Conor McGregor will avoid fighting him due to the amount of money he makes.
Askren has been on fire with his social media callouts. Even since talks of a trade between the UFC and ONE Championship surfaced, Askren has been calling out top UFC welterweights. He’s even taken aim at UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov. It’s clear that Askren is marking his territory.
Askren didn’t stop there as one of his many targets now includes the “Notorious” one. Peep what “Funky” had to say on Twitter:
Obviously I have called out @TheNotoriousMMA yet, but you know he has way too much money to take one of the whippings I’m giving out. So why bother?

McGregor last competed earlier this month. He challenged Nurmagomedov for the UFC lightweight championship. The “Notorious” one ended up losing the fight via fourth-round submission. After the fight, a brawl ensued involving both camps. The Nevada State Athletic Commission is working on a punishment for both McGregor and Nurmagomedov.
