Ben Askren is suddenly on the lips of many UFC fighters. The former Bellator and ONE Championship welterweight titleholder seemed to be retired, but a very unique “trade” with ONE will apparently see him being able to sign with the UFC in exchange for Demetrious Johnson. And a lot of people will be gunning for the Funky one.
Askren has never been afraid to use social media to advance his interests, and as soon as the news leaked, he started calling out fighters on Twitter. Jorge Masvidal had a few things to say. There was a back-and-forth with Darren Till.
