Askren started training at American Top Team, an MMA training facility in Columbia, even before he graduated from Missouri. Francisco “Kiko” France is Askren’s main trainer. France spent four months working out with Askren twice a day before Askren’s fight.
“Ben, he’s in a different level,” France said. “He’s going to do a few fights to make sure he’s comfortable, but he’s already on another level. He’s the best wrestler in the country. He’s a purple belt in Brazilian jujitsu. He’s ready for big shows.”
France said he believes the only thing Askren needs to work on is his striking, which is MMA’s word for punching.
