Jorge Masvidal and Ben Askren had one of the bigger rivalries this year, yet it appears that beef has been squashed.<\/p>\n
In the lead up to their UFC 239 fight, the two traded shots at one another making their scrap one of the most highly anticipated bouts on the card<\/a>. But, the fight itself did not last long, as Masvidal knocked out Askren in five seconds with a flying knee. <\/a>After the bout, \u201cGamebred\u201d continued his trash talk towards “Funky.”<\/p>\n It was a disappointing loss for Askren but he did interviews and was open about it. And, following Colby Covington’s loss to Kamaru Usman at UFC 245<\/a>, Masvidal took to social media to praise \u201cFunky\u201d on how he handled the loss unlike “Chaos” had done.<\/p>\n Shout out to @Benaskren<\/a> who never tucked tail after his loss. Made no excuses. Took it on the chin and never censored the haters like a coward #theresurrection<\/a><\/p>\n — Jorge Masvidal UFC (@GamebredFighter) December 15, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
