Many have been disappointed with the prospect of Ben Askren moving to Singapore to work with Evolve MMA and fight for OneFC, but it seems like there might actually be one fight out there for Ben Askren, albeit not one that will convince Dana White and UFC that Ben Askren belongs in the UFC, but still a fight, none-the-less. That fight? Against former UFC and Strikeforce competitor Phil Baroni.
Things boiled over on Twitter today as Phil Baroni took umbrage to people calling Ben Askren OneFC’s best Welterweight (he’s 1-2 in OneFC, for what it’s worth).

@philbaroni @FrontRowBrian @ONEFCMMA wasn’t a joke you seriously cried to your GF in a bathroom. It was embarrassing to even watch!
