Ben Askren enjoyed himself during his first fight week face-off with Robbie Lawler ahead of UFC 235.
Askren (18-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC), sporting shorts and flip flops ahead of his first fight in Las Vegas, gave Lawler (28-12 MMA, 13-6 UFC) a friendly pat on the rear during their face-to-face following UFC 235 media day.
