Former ONE welterweight champion and undefeated mixed martial arts phenom Ben Askren has officially been traded to the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). Since the former title holder’s move to the UFC, Askren has entered a trash-talking war with Bellator MMA’s own Dillon Danis.
UFC News
Dillon Danis is perhaps most famous for being the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructor to mixed martial arts megastar Conor McGregor. However, the grappling ace has since begun a career in MMA and is now 1-0 under Bellator.
Taking to Twitter, Dillon Danis has since fired off a critical message to Ben Askren. It would appear that the Bellator fighter wants to meet Ben Askren inside the cage despite their differing promotions.
“Notice not one of these WW’s is saying my name right now. They think if they hide their heads in the sand some other poor lamb will be taken for slaughter.”
