They don't want to fight an unranked nobody. They want to fight for the title fo course. Askren is not good for their purse, or their rankings. Askren is only known by his fanboys.

They’re scared to lose to another organisations fighter and fall into obscurity in a stacked division that Khabib has yet to destroy

Who the hell does Ben Askren think he is? These guys have worked their way up to the top of the division by fighting for years against the best competition in the world. This guy goes and pads his record in Singapore and thinks he can waltz into the UFC and start calling out GSP. I know you're trying to talk your way into some money but beat someone in the top 20 before you start insulting people for not answering your "call outs".

the more they put him in front of a mic, the more fans he'll get.

And why would Colby or Usman fight a guy debuting in the organization for nothing, when one of them is going to fight for the title and the other is next in line?

Askren is talking shit to get his name out there, so fair enough. But for fans to actually buy into it? That's real retarded, sir.
