Following an interview on AXS TV’s “Inside MMA”, where Ben Askren was cut off by host Kenny Rice, the network’s executive has apologized for the incident.

Askren appeared on the program Friday night, and after blasting UFC President Dana White for a couple of minutes, the interview was abruptly ended by Rice.

According to a report from MMA Junkie.com, Simon tweeted recently:

@Benaskren I apologize for @InsideMMAaxstv closing mic.We respect your opinions & look forward to having you back to continue the discussion

@Benaskren I don’t have your phone number, but would appreciate opportunity to talk 1 on 1. Feel free to DM or I can send mine

Askren appeared on the show following his quick, stoppage win over Nobutatsu Suzuki on August 29th, when he won the ONE FC welterweight belt.
