Former ONE Championship welterweight champion Ben Askren vacated his title still undefeated when he announced his retirement back in 2017. However, the former title holder is now closing in on a new fight contract with a different promotion.
UFC News
ONE Championship is currently negotiating to trade Ben Askren for former UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson. The trade has yet to be finalized, but is reportedly within the final stages of negotiations.
A promotion-to-promotion fighter trade has never been done within the sport of mixed martial arts, making this a historic moment. A series of UFC fighters have already begun calling out Ben Askren. However, the former ONE Championship title holder is seemingly not happy with any of them.
