Askren gave credit where it was due to Diaz, saying that it was impressive that he was able to come back from his long time off to win against Anthony Pettis, but ultimately, he said he thinks "it's a fight that Jorge should be able to win."
Askren did take a historically fast loss to Masvidal back in July, so he'd know a thing or two about what he has to offer.
