Jorge Masvidal doubled down on his boxing challenge to former UFC opponent Ben Askren.
‘Gamebred’ and Askren have been in the headlines recently after Jorge Masvidal seemingly called out ‘Funky’ to run back their UFC 239 clash inside the squared circle. However, while speaking with TNT Sports, the former BMF titleholder suggested that his boxing match challenge was in response to Askren who took the first shot in their renewed rivalry.
“He called me out first. I didn’t say I wanted to box him. He called me out,” Masvidal said while backstage at UFC 291 on Saturday night.
