Mixed Martial Arts is all set for it’s first ever trading deal. As much as trades are common in Football, NFL, NBA etc it’s a totally new concept in MMA. Ultimate Fighting Championship is finalizing a deal to trade Ben Askren for Demetrius Johnson with ONE Championship.
This is a big deal for fans, as they have always wanted to see Ben compete in the UFC with a legit contender. Ben signing with UFC offers an opportunity for MMA fans to watch the mouth-watering clash between Askren with the likes of Khabib, Conor, Colby, Darren Till etc.
But ever since the trade news came out, Ben Askren has been calling out a lot of UFC fighters and talking back and forth.
Obviously I have called out @TheNotoriousMMA yet, but you know he has way too much money to take one of the whippings I’m giving out. So why bother?

Darren that’s a handsome goat you keep posting. Do you lack the creativity to create a new post so you just keep putting up the same one? https://t.co/lEuJSpJR1H

And @TeamKhabib I’ll meet you at 165 to determine the best MMA grappler on planet earth! You just name the time and send location.

And @NateDiaz209 you can’t keep waiting on your sugar daddy @TheNotoriousMMA to make you some more money. If big bro lets you out of the house and your feeling funky holler at me

Hey @nickdiaz209 word is you blew all your money and need to fight again. I realize you haven’t won a bout since 2011, but people still seem to think you are good. I’m willing to show them otherwise!

But @GeorgesStPierre please be specific, ambiguity sucks. I know you like a challenge and I am a puzzle you have never solved yet.

Your twitter trash talk is embarrassingly bad, it’s worse than your performance against @TWooodley ! Now when you get asked to sign the contract for real make sure you do it son. https://t.co/xYPQxRhB3b

Alan being humbled in front of millions isn’t something fake tough like happening to them. You’re 1-2 in your last 3, go back to modeling. https://t.co/eNwKBAZBC8

Hey @darrentill2 you feel like going on a losing streak?
— Funky (@Benaskren) October 25, 2018
Jorge you haven’t won a fight since Jan 2017! If you had a shred of self awareness you would realize it would be an honor for you to share the cage with me. https://t.co/oI5BCDS0RM

Well I appreciate you being the only one with the courage Mike, but let’s be real: you suck, you know you aren’t getting the shot. https://t.co/xMAV4jpZmg

@ColbyCovMMA might get beat up by @TWooodley first but I’m calling dibs on whipping him next. He is despicable
