Nothing official yet, but considering the move to EVOLVE there's a good probability this rumor will be confirmed soon.

Source: Askren to fight in One FC

Well, there's that.

Not the UFC, not even WSOF really, but I'm sure he's getting a very good contract and a good paycheck from them since they've been paying some of their fighters enough to turn down offers from the UFC.

If he still wants to receive an offer from the UFC, then he needs to continue dominating his opponents and he needs to start finishing them in impressive fashion so hopefully then the UFC will change theirs minds and make him an offer.

At least Askren will get a solid finish.

IF the fight happens I'm just imagining how ******* hilarious it would be if Baroni knocked him out. Dana would **** bricks. The good bricks.

I'm sure askrens finish won't be any more solid than the last two. He will just pin Baroni's arm over his face and land a hundred or so little punch like things around Phil's head til the ref stops it. I like Askren but his finishes are hilarious.

there have been 5, yes 5, Welterweight matches at ONEFC since ONEFC 5.  There is no one there for him to fight.  So unless they are doing some top secret push to sign a bunch of WW's Askren will be in a worse position after this deal than he is currently.

Just as I planned, now the dissent between members of Tapology will cause the site to fall apart and I can take over and make it only cover wrestling.
