“Done deal! Oct 26 we will find out who the best MMA grappler on planet earth is,” Askren wrote.
Askren, of course, is coming off of a five-second knockout loss to Jorge Masvidal at UFC 239 that handed him his first professional defeat. Before that, in his Ultimate Fighting Championship debut, he beat Robbie Lawler via first-round submission. “Funky” is the former One Championship and Bellator MMA welterweight king.
Maia, meanwhile, is on a two-fight winning streak. The 41-year-old is 27-9 as a pro and has 13 wins by submission and is a former UFC title challenger.
