As a 14-1 as a Mixed Martial Artist who has dominated some of the sport?s top stars without ever breaking much of a sweat and whose only loss was essentially the result of beating an opponent up too badly, as Jon Jones is, it might be understandable for there to be a dip in drive. [...]

Ben Askren defended his Bellator belt with a decision win over Jay Hieron in October. He’s wrestled in the Olympics, won two multiple championships for the University of Missouri, and his next challenge should be Douglas Lima, when Bellator’s next season starts in March.
But Askren may have one more wrestling match in him. The idea of a one-time match with current world champ Jordan Burroughs has been proposed to Askren, and he likes what he hears.
“He’s a great competitor. He’s the world champ. It would be a blast,” Askren told Cagewriter. “We have uniquely different styles. I have the scrambling, and am a great mat wrestler, and he’s very good on his feet. I think it will be a blast. You don’t get to see too many contrasting styles that often.”
His contract with Bellator allows Askren to participate in wrestling events. His sponsor, Cage Fighter, also sponsors Burroughs, and is working to make this match happen, possibly in Chicago the weekend of the UFC on Fox 2.
Askren is known for letting his opponents know exactly what he thinks of them, which can often result in harsh words. With Burroughs’ credentials, Askren has nothing but respect for his possible opponent.
“He’s one of the few people I actually respect. I can’t talk [expletive.] I’ve got a lot of respect for him. If you look post-Cael [Sanderson], me and Burroughs are the two most dominant wrestlers as far as we both had undefeated seasons, we both won the Hodge Trophy, we both had very, very few close matches in the last couple years.”
In the meantime, Askren is continuing to focus on an MMA career. Though next year is an Olympic year, he is definitely sticking with MMA and preparing for his next Bellator title defense. He describes his training at Duke Roufus’ gym in Milwaukee as awesome, and has no plans to take a break during Bellator’s hiatus.
“Training hard. I don’t have an off-season, so I’m in the gym five days a week. Well, six, really. “

CHICAGO — UFC on Fox 2 will feature two fights that will decide the next contender for a championship belt, the UFC announced today during a press conference to promote the Jan. 28th event in Chicago.
At light heavyweight, former champ Rashad Evans will take on Phil Davis in the five-round main event. Evans has been promised the title fight before, but injuries and timing problems have kept him from facing nemesis Jon Jones for the UFC belt.
The next middleweight contender will be Chael Sonnen or Mark Munoz, who will fight in a three-round, co-main event. Sonnen already has had a shot at the title, but was tapped out by Anderson Silva. He called out Silva after Sonnen beat Brian Stann at UFC 136, but Silva’s shoulder injury will keep him from fighting until June. According to UFC president Dana White, Sonnen did not want to wait for a fight, and the match-up with Munoz made perfect sense.
Dan Henderson, who recently beat Mauricio “Shogun” Rua in one of the best MMA bouts in a decade, was hoping for the next title shot at either middleweight or light heavyweight, but he will apparently have to wait to see how these fights shake out.

CHICAGO — Fuel TV, a station that’s part of the Fox Family of networks, will soon turn into a UFC fan’s paradise. According to UFC president Dana White, it will be a must have for any MMA fan. It will air live fights, MMA news, and pre-fight and post-fight coverage.
“Basically, you cannot be a UFC fan and not have Fuel. We’re going to have so many live fights and content that MMA fans are going to want,” White said at Wednesday’s UFC on Fox 2 press conference.
It’s fantastic … if Fuel is part of your cable or satellite package. As soon as the UFC’s deal with Fox was announced, I checked my cable guide, and found out that Comcast does not offer Fuel. According to people’s complaints on Twitter and Facebook, I was not alone.
White says that will change soon.
“I think that was part of Fox’s strategy in signing the UFC. They’ve gone up 11 percent since we signed the deal with Fox, and they’re in 38 million homes.”
While White is confident that more cable and satellite providers will add Fuel, it won’t hurt for fans to call and politely ask for it.
“I think it’s already happening. The announcements that we made have people [expletive] at their cable companies since we made the announcement.”
