UFC fans got a surprising, and somewhat strange bit of news on Wednesday morning.
According to ESPN's Ariel Helwani the UFC is close to finalizing a "trade" that would send former flyweight champion, Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson to Singapore-based MMA promotion One Championship in exchange for current One welterweight champion Ben Askren.
The report was met with a number of different reactions, most negative, but the most common was "what is the UFC even thinking?"
