Who Will Ben Askren Fight First Now That He's in the UFC?

Ben Askren will now be fighting in the UFC and BetOnline is offering odds on who he fights first.

UFC has officially agreed to release former flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson from his contract in order that he may sign with ONE Championship, it was reported on Saturday.

In return, ONE has agreed to release former welterweight champion Ben Askren from his contract so that he can sign with the UFC.

Askren (18-0, 1 NC) is a former Bellator welterweight champion who had previously announced his retirement but has said he was open to fighting the likes of Georges St-Pierre or Rory MacDonald.

Askren and Johnson, amid recent trade reports, have acknowledged the transaction on social media.
