Ben Askren says he ‘would love to fight’ Jorge Masvidal following Masvidal’s stunning KO at UFC London

Jorge Masvidal returned to the Octagon in top form this past weekend, knocking out top-three welterweight contender Darren Till in the UFC Fight Night 147 main event at the O2 Arena in London, England.

It wasn’t the result Ben Askren expected, as the former ONE FC and Bellator welterweight champion was angling for a top contender’s bout with Till, who he predicted to beat Gamebred at UFC London.

With Till likely to plummet down the rankings following his second consecutive loss, however, Askren has called for a fight against Masvidal, who he accused of ducking him for calling out newly-crowned champ Kamaru Usman instead.
