Demian Maia is a former two-time title contender and widely considered to be the best grappler to compete in UFC history. Askren is known best for his phenomenal NCAA career and a great MMA stint which has seen him win gold in both Bellator and ONE.
Maia is riding a 2-fight win streak and Askren is looking to get back on winning ways after suffering his first career loss against Jorge Masvidal. UFC Singapore goes down on October 26th.
