If you haven’t heard, the UFC and ONE Championship is close to finalizing a deal to trade Demetrious Johnson to ONE Championship for Ben Askren. Trades are new to MMA, and open up many doors. Ben Askren is wasting no time getting funky on the UFC’s roster.
Since the news on the potential deal has broke, Askren has been on a tear on Twitter. Here’s a list:
- Asks if anyone knows a Russian that needs to be “humbled the old country way”
- Said he wants a “Bum of the Month Club” where he fights every month
- Reminded Alan Jouban he was 1-2 in his last three fights
- Told Jorge Masvidal his last fight was in January 2017
- Told “Platinum” Mike Perry that he straight up “sucks”
Missing from that list is probably the most telling tweet.
