UFC and ONE Championship officials are currently working on a “trade” that would see former UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson head to ONE Championship, while the Asian promotion’s current welterweight title holder, Ben Askren, would make his new home with the UFC. Mutliple mainstream mma outlets have confirmed the rumored deal.
Askren himself brought the heat when he estimated his likelihood of a UFC showing at 98%.

I’m told there has been some promising movement as of late on the Ben Askren to UFC dream but nothing is finalized at this time. https://t.co/iSnx2AkfOf

The @UFC bringing in @Benaskren is like the U.S. funding and arming the Mujahedeen against Russia in Afghanistan. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. This is classic stuff because Askren is being brought in as a hitman.
