Scott Askham (born 25 May 1988) is an English mixed martial artist who currently competes in the Middleweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Background

Born and raised in West Yorkshire, Askham began training in mixed martial arts as a teenager and took part in several amateur fights before turning professional in 2010. During this time, he also worked for a bit with a maintenance company installing street lighting.[3]

Mixed martial arts career

Early career

He made his professional debut competing as a middleweight for various regional promotions across Great Britain, including stints in Cage Warriors and BAMMA. He was able to compile an undefeated record of 12 - 0 along the way, finishing a large portion of his fights in the first round.

After his TKO stoppage of Max Nunes in June 2014, Askham signed with the UFC.[4]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Askham made his promotional debut on 4 October 2014 as he faced Magnus Cedenblad at UFC Fight Night 53.[5][6] Despite dropping Cedenblad with a front kick in round two, Askham was controlled through the rest of the fight, and was defeated via unanimous decision.[7]

Askham next faced Antonio dos Santos Jr. on 20 June 2015 at UFC Fight Night 69.[8] Askham won the fight via KO in the first round.[9]

Askham faced Krzysztof Jotko on 24 October 2015 at UFC Fight Night 76.[10] He lost the fight by split decision.[11]

Askham faced Chris Dempsey on 27 February 2016 at UFC Fight Night 84.[12] He won the fight via knockout in the first round.[13] He was also awarded a Performance of the Night bonus.[14]

Askham was briefly scheduled to face Anthony Smith on 8 July 2016 at The Ultimate Fighter 23 Finale.[15] However, Askham pulled out of the bout on April 28 and was replaced by Cezar Ferreira.[16]

Following a quick recovery, Askham was rescheduled to face promotional newcomer Jack Hermansson on 3 September 2016 at UFC Fight Night 93.[17] He lost the fight by unanimous decision.[18]
