Jorge Masvidal is loving life at the moment after knocking Ben Askren out cold in the fastest finish in Ultimate Fighting Championship at UFC 239 earlier this month.
According to “Gamebred,” he thought that accepting a fight against Askren was a step down in his quest to become a UFC champion, despite UFC matchmakers’ efforts to convince him otherwise. The 34-year-old appeared on the “Dan LeBatard Show” and said he originally hesitated to accept the fight against Askren believing he was on another level to the well-known undefeated wrestler at the time.
