Back when Demetrious Johnson was traded in as a one-of-a-kind deal to ONE Championship, the division was reportedly on the brink of being scrapped.
After years of disputes regarding financial incentives and pay-per-view shares, 'Mighty Mouse' was finally traded to ONE Championship in 2018.
The fact that Johnson's head coach, Matt Hume, was also the vice president of operations for ONE Championship was another fact that made the trade possible.
