Jorge Masvidal doesn’t think it would be wise for Ben Askren to campaign for an immediate rematch, not after being starched just five seconds into the opening round of their pivotal welterweight matchup this past weekend at UFC 239.
Masvidal, who KO’d Askren with a highlight-reel flying knee on the UFC 239 main card, believes ‘Funky’ would ‘have to be a maniac’ to even think about signing the contract for a rematch.
“You said like like fighting, like with punches and kicks? You think that dude would fight me again?” Masvidal told MMA Junkie Radio when asked about a potential rematch with Askren.
