Ben Askren discusses why he believes Jorge Masvidal was not at two UFC 239 press events and addresses some ‘sick and disturbing’ comments \u2018Gamebred\u2019 made about his family bloodline.<\/p>\n

Askren had no problem firing back at Masvidal, who he will be fighting at UFC 239, especially for the recent comments he made regarding his family.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, Masvidal has not been attending the UFC 239 press days. Ben Askren added that he believes \u2018Gamebred\u2019 is consumed with anger which is why he did not attend. Askren also hypothesis\u2019s that this anger will negatively impact Masvidal during their upcoming fight. He said:<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2018He knows in a battle of words, it’s going to get ugly for him. We talked about it earlier how he has this insane amount of dislike. He said something fucking ridiculous last week about how he wants to end my bloodline which I thought was hilarious because I already have three kids. Unless you plan on murdering the rest of my family which is pretty sick and disturbing, you’re not gonna end my bloodline Jorge ‘cos I have three children.’<\/p>\n

Askren’s statement addresses a comment Masvidal made when he appeared on CBS Sports’ State of Combat<\/a> podcast.<\/p>\n

“I just want to f— him up. I don’t think anything of him,” Masvidal said. “I’m going to make sure his bloodline doesn’t reproduce or nothing after July 6. Extinction of the Aksren blood by the Masvidal blood.”<\/p>\n

Ben Askren responded,\u00a0 ‘When you say stuff that is as crazy as that is, it’s so obvious that I’m under your skin. \u00a0I make you upset, and you can\u2019t even verbalise why I make you upset. You know if we come in contact again, that\u2019s only going to get worse. It going to get worse and worse and worse. And generally speaking, a high majority of the time, people who are that angry fight very poorly.’<\/p>\n

During the UFC 239 media conference, Askren reiterated the same sentiment: \u2018I think I\u2019m very far in his head and under his skin,\u2019 he said.<\/a><\/p>\n

Will Jorge Masvidal’s anger towards Ben Askren help or hinder him when he steps inside the Octagon? Find out at UFC 239 on Saturday July 6th.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
