Jorge Masvidal on Ben Askren: ‘We’re not in the same league by any means necessary’

Jorge Masvidal has enjoyed a well-deserved victory lap after earning the fastest knockout in UFC history with his five second demolition against Ben Askren at UFC 239.

While the fight wasn’t the main or co-main event, Masvidal vs. Askren was arguably the most talked about showdown on the entire card.

The result could have never been predicted after Masvidal exploded out of his corner, blasting Askren with a flying knee that immediately rendered the former Olympic wrestler unconscious.

As much attention as the fight received, Masvidal claims he never bought into the Askren hype and even told the UFC as much when they offered him the matchup for July.
