It's not the first time Bellator Welterweight Champion Ben Askren shares his thoughts about the Nate Marquardt Saga. Askren is 8-0 in his Mixed Martial Arts career, and will face the 2011 Tournament Winner Jay Hieron later this year. As for Nate Marquardt, it's still unclear what the future holds for "The Great".
