MMA Fighter/Disc Golfer

[disc junkie]

I thought this was pretty cool when I found this out earlier today and I think other mma/dg fans will think the same.

Ben Askren who is the Bellator Welterweight Champion is also a sponsored player by Discraft. Ive been watching Askren even before he was an MMA fighter back when he was just a westler and thought it was cool to find out he is a golfer as well.

I saw the article in the recent pDGA rag and thought the same thing, pretty cool.

He's still just a wrestler, more or less. But he's a damn good one and good wrestling trumps all in US MMA.

Nobody should ever steal his discs.

Nobody should ever steal his discs.

If they can out run him they should be okay.

I actually had the privilege to play a couple of rounds with him a couple of years ago at the DSM Challenge. Pretty nice guy. And his girlfriend(now wife I do believe) is nice too.
