By now, you’ve more than likely seen the news that Demetrious Johnson is being traded from the UFC to ONE FC for Ben Askren. With the impending arrival of the funky one to the UFC welterweight division, he’s been putting the division on notice. He’s on Twitter kill-shotting and merking any and all potential opponents. It’s incredible.
It seems that no one is safe, as he’s taken aim at Darren Till, Colby Covington, Jorge Masvidal, Mike Perry, and Alan Jouban.
Askren is actually a teammate of UFC welterweight champion, Tyron Woodley. So, him going after the title right now would be a conflict of interest. However, Askren looks content to just smash his way through the division just to show how good he really is.
This is going to get really good.
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

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

Hey @darrentill2 you feel like going on a losing streak?

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
