UFC standouts Anthony Pettis and Ben Askren train together on a regular basis at Roufusport Gym in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.<\/p>\n
So it came as big surprise to many, including Askren, when video footage leaked of Pettis telling Yoel Romero that he was happy to see Jorge Masvidal win at UFC 239.<\/p>\n
Of course, Masvidal had infamously knockout out Askren in record-setting time<\/a> at last month’s pay-per-view event in Las Vegas. ‘Gamebred’ was able to connect with a flying knee just seconds into the opening round which sent ‘Funky’ crashing to the canvas in state of unconsciousness.<\/p>\n Thanks to Bellator’s Dillon Danis, Pettis’ conversation with Romero has now gone viral, this after the ‘El Jefe’ shared the video clip on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n https:\/\/twitter.com\/dillondanis\/status\/1162496873669758980?s=20<\/p>\n “How is Jorge doing?” Anthony Pettis asked Yoel Romero. “Good for him bro. I was happy to see that. You know that’s my teammate man but that was one beautiful ass knockout.”<\/p>\n Ben Askren would later respond to Danis’ post with the following reaction.<\/p>\n I agree Dillon this is unacceptable. @Showtimepettis<\/a> and I aren\u2019t bffs but I thought we had a respect and kinship where feelings and statements like this did not happen. I hope Anthony can clear this up and make his feelings transparent. I don\u2019t need fake friends. https:\/\/t.co\/SW1dBZoV8m<\/a><\/p>\n — Funky (@Benaskren) August 17, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
