No trash-talk? No problem for Bellator 64 headliner Ben Askren

Before his most recent win - and his first-ever Bellator title defense - welterweight champion Ben Askren engaged in a sustained and very public trash-talking campaign with opponent Jay Hieron.

But ahead of Friday's Bellator 64 headliner with challenger Douglas Lima, cooler heads have prevailed.

Askren told MMAjunkie.com Radio he loves trash-talking as much as the next guy, but he's not going to be the instigator.
