MMA Squared: Wait... so we’re doing trading sh-t now? The implications of DJ for Askren

Hello, this is Chris, and welcome to MMA Squared.

Hardcores, casuals, and media members go crazy for spectacle. That’s how we got MayMac, Champ/Champs, and the Superfighter division. If the UFC and ONE successfully trade DJ for Askren though, Pandora’s Box will have officially been opened. I hope it leads to MMA’s Curt Flood moment.

On a more fanciful note, if the trade does happen can we get a Milwaukee vs Stockton card with Nick Diaz vs Ben Askren as the co-main and Nate Diaz vs Anthony Pettis headlining?
