UFC commentator, Joe Rogan, is one of the most beloved people inside the promotion. The UFC pay per views are synonymous with Rogan’s quips, excitement, and technique explanation. Many believe he is the best commentator in all of MMA. Rogan rarely opposes the UFC brass, and specifically Dana White, but today he had an interesting comment about Ben Askren.

A fan asked Joe his opinion on Ben Askren, and if the UFC should have signed him:

@d420sheran @Benaskren I would have definitely signed him. He's one of the best 170lb fighters on earth. — Joe Rogan (@joerogan) December 24, 2013

Evidently, Joe Rogan believes that Askren is one of the best Welterweights in the world, and should be competing inside the Octagon. At this point, however, it is very unlikely we’ll ever see Asken inside the UFC. Especially after his comments yesterday regarding Dana White as a ‘bald-headed fat man’.

Askren is currently signed with Asian promotion, One FC, and will be making his debut in 2014. The most likely matchup at this point is with former UFC fighter, Phil Baroni.

UPDATE: Rogan continued his thoughts on Askren with this tweet:
