Does the Demetrious Johnson/Ben Aaskren trade mean the UFC 125-pound division is eliminated?


The recent trade between ONE Championship Champion Ben Askren and UFC flyweight great Demetrious Johnson was a historic moment in mixed martial arts. Does this mean the UFC will be eliminating the 125-pound division? Chael Sonnen gives his thoughts on the You’re Welcome podcast.

  1. DJ in a division of punks thats why he didnt get his dues , and bottled it going up weight. Shame kinda sad but its true. His skills in a bigger body different story.

  2. The only fights that we care about with DJ are the ones that DIDN'T happen: DJ vs. TJ at 125 and DJ vs. Cyborg at 145-ish

  3. what man weighs 125 pounds its just wrong. woman are heavier than you. move up/ stop cutting to baby weight fight at 135 and make a real division

  4. manlet fights bums, loses to average fighter, goes to new promotion to fight bigger bums.

  5. As much as I tried to appreciate it, and i honestly kinda feel bad about this opinion, I just can’t get excited about watching people that small fight. I feel like that may be the issue others have as well.

  6. Chael dresses like Chael for Halloween and Fedor approves

  7. who the hell came up with the idea that if they trade an ex champion that the whole division will disappear xD its like saying oh DC retired ok then the whole division will retire that is stupid on another level

  8. The Flyweight division needs to be dissolved. The best fighter in the history of this division is gone, Joseph Benavidez is at the tail end of his career, Sergio Pettis was smart and moved up to Bantamweight, and the current champion might be fighting for the title at the weight class above. Get rid of it and add a weight class that is needed badly in 165.

  9. the saying "super fight" is used waaaay out of context, people need to chill with that.. henry tj isnt a super fight, it wont do over 200k paperview as a main event… gsp khabib is a super fight
