Quick read
Ben Askren has confirmed that his upcoming match against Belal Muhammad will be a one-time return to competition and that he does not plan to wrestle again afterward. Askren, who spoke with Ariel Helwani, said he deliberately sought a tough opponent rather than an easy match, frustrated by other RAF wrestlers who opt for softer competition. He acknowledged his fitness has declined significantly since his fighting days but said he has been training daily to get back into shape, and plans to focus on coaching, teaching wrestling, and helping the RAF league grow after the event.
