Former Bellator MMA lightweight champion Michael Chandler is on the cusp of becoming UFC lightweight champion, come this Saturday at UFC 262. ‘Iron’ had made an impressive debut against Dan Hooker at UFC 257 where he got the better of him via T(KO). [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/ZZZZZZZKSKJF.jpg] Prior to facing Charles Oliveira, he got some confidence boost up as his friend and fellow fighter Tyron Woodley had some encouraging words for him. Woodley considered himself a big brother to Chandler. “Like a big brother, I have seen him come from so many different levels,” he said. “And then he always talked about this moment, he always talked about wanting to be the best, the best in the world, wants to be best and have the glory and have the fame and have all these things. “I know he’s got that Tiger style. I’m sending love out to him, peace, and prayers. He represents us when he goes out there. Not just to wrestle, not just the OG fighters, but just that pedigree of people that did it the right way and worked hard,” he concluded. Chandler [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/michael-chandler/] got emotional after hearing such words. He then described how he came through the ranks and wanting to get the taste of success. “Man, it’s pretty emotional because when I think about Tyron and I think about Ben and I just think about being a Mizzou Tiger, I think about where I came from. “I think about walking on to the University of Missouri. I was the lowest guy on the totem pole, I was the guy that didn’t really truly believe that ridiculous success was something that I can achieve.” MICHAEL CHANDLER ON WOODLEY AND BEN ASKREN Chandler (22-5) [https://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Michael-Chandler-50829] had some words for Woodley and Askren [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/ben-askren/]. “I worked hard, you can ask Tyron — Tyron was a 5th-year senior, Ben was a 3rd or 4th year when I came in, they already had the accolades, they already had the mindset, they had the achievements and I looked to those guys like they were gods,” he said. ‘Iron’ said he wanted to emulate those two. He even described how they motivated him to become an All-American and national champion. Something he later achieved as he became Division 1 level All-American and also applied his trade for NCAA championships. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.jpg] Chandler has certainly achieved stardom in his career and in his next fight, he will look to add another glorious moment in his already glittering career. Can he bring the gold home?

<h2 style="text-align: center">Ben Askren 2021: Record, Net Worth, Salary and Endorsements</h2>
They call him 'Funky', a name that Ben Askren got in his college days because of his unorthodox wrestling style. He is one of those MMA fighters, who merged scrambling into wrestling to dominate his opponents. The multiple organization champion, Askren, is currently retired.

A medal at the Olympics was the goal of Askren growing up. However, his dreams were shattered in the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, China, when he <a href="http://www.espn.com/olympics/summer08/results?discId=50" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">lost</a> his very first match against Ivan Fundora.

[caption id="attachment_269755" align="aligncenter" width="1000"]<img class="size-full wp-image-269755" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200515183506/ben-askren-robbie-lawler-ufc-235-16.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="600" /> Mar 2, 2019; Las Vegas, NV, USA; Ben Askren (blue gloves) defeats Robbie Lawler (red gloves) during UFC 235 at T-Mobile Arena. Mandatory Credit: Stephen R. Sylvanie-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]

Instead of waiting another four years to compete at the highest level, Askren stepped foot in an MMA ring and made his MMA debut in a promotion called Headhunter Productions: The Patriot Act against Josh Flowers and got a quick <a href="https://prommanow.com/2009/02/08/ben-askrin-wins-pro-debut-at-headhunter-productions-patriot-act/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">finish</a>.

Askren fought in Bellator Fighting Championship (now known as Bellator MMA). He became the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/bellator-mma-ufc-news-youre-running-bellator-into-the-ground-ben-askren-fires-back-at-scott-coker/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Bellator welterweight champion</a> and defended his title against some elite fighters such as Jay Hieron, and Douglas Lima.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Ben Askren: UFC Career</h2>
Askren then debuted in <a href="https://www.onefc.com/features/ben-askren-the-wrestling-legends-complete-story/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">ONE Championship</a> and became the champion in his second match by beating Nobutatsu Suzuki. After defending his title 5 times, Askren retired from MMA. However, he came to the UFC after UFC and ONE FC traded Demetrious Johnson and Ben Askren.



He also made a successful debut in UFC against former champion, Robbie Lawler. However, his unbeaten streak ended against <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jorge-masvidal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Jorge Masvidal</a> at UFC 239. Askren competed one more time against Demian Maia and lost.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Ben Askren: Fighting Style</h2>
Askren is one of the best wrestlers on the planet. He has made a career out of wrestling in a sport that is not wrestling. His Jiu-Jitsu is also on a higher level than his competition. Askren's biggest weakness is his striking capability, and he has failed to master even the basic striking defense.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Ben Askren: Achievements</h2>
The fighter holds a proud record of <a href="https://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Ben-Askren-42390" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">19-2-0,1NC</a> in his career. Askren has won multiple championships in wrestling, disc golf, and submission grappling. Besides that, he was the former Bellator MMA and <a href="https://www.onefc.com/features/ben-askren-the-wrestling-legends-complete-story/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">ONE welterweight champion</a>.

Askren also won the Fight of the Night <a href="http://ufcstats.com/fighter-details/0b31f87be71ebbb1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">bonus</a> one time against Demian Maia.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Ben Askren: Salary and Net Worth 2021</h2>
Askren has earned over $830,500 in his UFC career according to <a href="https://thesportsdaily.com/2019/10/26/ben-askren-career-earnings-fox11/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Sports Daily</a>. That is more than what an average star makes in the company. It is noteworthy that these numbers do not include undisclosed bonuses. His net worth is said to be around 10 million dollars by <a href="https://playersbio.com/ben-askren-net-worth/">playersbio?</a>
<h2 style="text-align: center">Ben Askren: Endorsements 2021</h2>
Askren makes the most of his earnings from MMA. Apart from that, he has hosted a podcast named <a href="https://therudis.com/podcasts/rudis-wrestling-podcast/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">RUDIS Wrestling Podcast</a>.
