Since news that Ben Askren could be heading to the UFC broke, the undefeated welterweight has been busy on Twitter, and that includes a fiery exchange with Darren Till.
ONE’s welterweight champ has traded tweets with Mike Perry, and “Funky” also had the back-and-forth with Till below (warning: explicit language).
Hey @darrentill2 you feel like going on a losing streak?

Your twitter trash talk is embarrassingly bad, it’s worse than your performance against @TWooodley ! Now when you get asked to sign the contract for real make sure you do it son. https://t.co/xYPQxRhB3b

This is just getting started…If you’re new to MMA, or only watch the UFC, and aren’t familiar with who Askren is, that’s likely going to change very quickly.
