Ben Askren’s Bio:

Ben Askren is best known as an amateur wrestler and MMA fighter, however his story is far more complicated than that. He is a commentator, podcaster, disc golf competitor, and cryptocurrency enthusiast.

Ben is widely considered to be one of the best NCAA wrestlers of all time, securing 2 NCAA titles and simultaneously winning the prestigious Dan Hodge Trophy twice – which is awarded to the most dominant wrestler in the NCAA.

After college, Ben made a run at freestyle wrestling and won the starting spot for the Beijing Olympic games in 2008 – unfortunately, Ben came up short in his dreams for Olympic gold. Soon after the Olympics, Ben made the decision to transition into the world of mixed martial arts.

During Ben’s career in MMA, he was considered one of the greatest welterweight fighters in the world. His wrestling-heavy style was too much to handle for his opponents, allowing him to control the bouts.

Askren compiled championship belts in two major organizations, Bellator and One Championship, and an undefeated record of 18-0 before retiring from the sport.

After his first retirement, Ben had an opportunity to fight in the UFC – largely recognized as the premiere MMA organization in the world. Ben had 3 fights in the UFC where he went 1-2. Ben ultimately retired for the second time from MMA during a segment on the MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani.

Askren hosts and is a frequent guest on many podcasts, including FloWrestling Radio Live’ with Christian Pyles on FloWrestling, ‘The Funky & FRB Show’ with Front Row Brian and ‘The T-Row & Funky Show’ with two–time NCAA champion Tommy Rowlands.
