Two of the best grapplers in MMA are going to battle at UFC Singapore this Saturday, as Demian Maia and Ben Askren will fight in the card’s main event. The media day for the card is in the books, and it saw Maia and Askren faceoff for cameras.
The all-star grapplers have been booked to fight following different results for both men. The 41-year-old Maia (27-9) is coming off a majority decision win over Rocco Martin, while the 35-year-old Askren (19-1) was quickly KO’d by Jorge Masvidal.
While Maia has reported that his career’s winding down, Askren needs a win if he hopes to return to the title shot mix anytime soon.
You can watch the welterweights faceoff for cameras below.
