The UFC Gives Ben Askren An Awesome Valentine’s Day Gift
Askren would take to Twitter yesterday to question why the UFC has a placeholder image for his graphic for the bout against Lawler:
Hey @ufc when you gonna take the time to put a picture in this placeholder??? pic.twitter.com/PAOBZkPwaW

That would lead to the UFC “fixing” that placeholder image for Askren, which the promotion would reveal via Twitter:
Fixed it. pic.twitter.com/bwa67ADv9z

The fighter would be pleased with the new changes, which would lead to the following Twitter exchanges with the UFC:
You got it, dude. pic.twitter.com/6hAIFh92CU

See you in a couple weeks! pic.twitter.com/CbkDz5TaGp

It wouldn’t be over yet between fighter and promotion, because the UFC would up the ante in a big way, giving the soon to be debuting Askren an awesome Valentine’s Day gift:
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
We updated your headshot,
Just for you.#HappyValentinesDay to @BenAskren. #UFC235 pic.twitter.com/FusibdaEoE— UFC (@ufc) February 14, 2019
Which would please Askren:
Best valentine ever!!! https://t.co/cufRZXggD2
