UFC welterweight standouts Ben Askren and Jorge Masvidal will collide at July\u2019s UFC 239 pay-per-view event in Las Vegas, Nevada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fight was put together shortly after \u201cGamebred\u201d starched former title challenger Darren Till in London. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trash talk between Askren and Masvidal began to escalate shortly following the promotions official announcement that the perennial welterweight contenders would be squaring off at UFC 239.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most recently, Ben Askren took that war of words to a new level by questioning Jorge Masvidal\u2019s masculinity at the recent UFC<\/a> press conference (via MMAJunkie<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t understand people that just walk up and punch people for not really a good reason,\u201d Askren said in reference to Masvidal\u2019s backstage brawl with Leon Edwards. \u201cFor me, it shows two things: No. 1, a total lack of discipline. Like, that\u2019s not cool. You can\u2019t just go punch someone. So you lack the discipline, that you get so angry, you can\u2019t control yourself and you have to start throwing your fists.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Askren continued:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd No. 2, that you\u2019re not really secure with your own masculinity that you say, \u2018Oh my God, he said something, I need to go prove I\u2019m tough \u2013 pay-yow, I am tough.\u2019 Like shut up, dude. We get it, you\u2019re tough. You fight in a cage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ben Askren made his octagon debut earlier this year scoring a controversial submission win over former UFC welterweight champion Robbie Lawler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who are you picking to win when \u201cFunky\u201d and \u201cGamebred\u201d square off this July in Las Vegas? Sound off in the comments section Penn Nation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
