Ben Askren has reacted to the news of his former opponent Jorge Masvidal’s upcoming fight against Kamaru Usman.<\/p>\n

On Sunday it was announced<\/a> that the UFC welterweight champion Usman and the ‘BMF’ winner Masvidal will collide at Saturday’s UFC 251 event on Dana White’s Fight Island.<\/p>\n

The news came after Gilbert Burns withdrew from his matchup with Usman after testing positive for COVID-19. The UFC responded quickly by tapping Masvidal as a replacement opponent. The promotion made the fight official on Sunday night.<\/p>\n
