OneFC Welterweight Champion Ben Askren (14-0) appeared in what turned out to be a wild segment on this week’s edition of “Inside MMA” on AXS TV.
Hosted by Kenny Rice and Bas Rutten, “Inside MMA” brought Askren on for an interview and during the discussion, while Askren was talking about his feelings about the UFC, Rice cut him off mid-sentence.
You can check out a video clip from Askren’s appearance above.
Following the show, Askren took to Twitter to call out Rice. First up, he sent a tweet to AXS TV founder Mark Cuban, asking Cuban to set up a “debate” on the “economics of Global MMA.” Askren tweeted the following:
Hey @mcuban let me debate your disrespectful @InsideMMAaxstv host Kenny Rice on the economics of global MMA! Bet I take him to school.

Askren wasn’t done there. The always-controversial undefeated Welterweight contender tweeted Rice directly, calling him a “scared little UFC shill.” You can read that tweet below.
