So to speak, fellas, so to speak. It's Askren that I'm referring to, of course.
"Asscream" is the nickname that Colby Covington came up with (at least I think it might be original -- if it is, kudos to Colby because it's pretty amusing to my simple mind).
More from Colby:
“He’s a 34-year-old virgin,” said Covington. “Who retires before they even get to the UFC? Losers. That’s who. But let’s be honest, the guy… I mean, can they even approve a fight for him in the top five? Can they? Can the commission do that when he hasn’t won a fight against anybody in a top 50? The guy’s a complete joke.
I mean, it should be criminal that they even let him in there with a top five fighter. I mean, the guy’s a joke, man. No matter what your wrestling accomplishments are, you can’t bring that over here, over to the UFC and into fighting. You can’t live off your past. I just gotta laugh, man. Everything he’s saying is just so funny, man. He’s just setting himself up for the biggest fall, and it’s hilarious.”

But Funky didn't let that go without a response. From his Instagram today:
Good level-headed response from Ben. He's cool and confident. I hope he gives Colby a lesson in the cage someday.
