The newly sighed UFC fighter Ben Askren is making his debut in the organization on January 26, 2019 at the UFC 233 tournament. Askren will face the former UFC welterweight champion Robbie Lawler.

Askren joined UFC in November 2018, becoming part of the Demetrius Johnson exchange deal with ONE. In total, Askren has 18 fights in the professional ranks, in which he did not suffer a single defeat, owning championship titles in ONE and Bellator organizations.
