Jorge Masvidal sprinting out and setting the record for fastest UFC knockout ever wasn’t a fluke. A previous text from his coach showed that was always their plan. Now they’ve also released footage of the welterweight contender repeatedly drilling the now infamous rushing flying knee that knocked out Ben Askren in just five seconds.
Masvidal also explained his game plan coming into the match up, saying that he knew if he rushed in with that knee, there’s a good chance Askren would just duck for a takedown.
“He’s so predictable, man,” Masvidal said at the post-fight press conference.
