UFC welterweight superstar Jorge Masvidal took a shot at former Octagon rival Ben Askren, saying that he doesn’t represent MMA.<\/p>\n
Askren returns to combat sports on April 17 when he fights Jake Paul on the latest Triller boxing card. Askren retired from the UFC in late 2019 following a submission loss to Demian Maia. That loss came on the heels of a brutal flying knee KO loss to Masvidal at UFC 239. In that fight, “Gamebred” needed just five seconds to rush across the Octagon and nail Asken right on the chin, and it put him out cold. It’s considered by many to be one of the best knockouts in MMA history and will be on the highlight-reel for years to come.<\/p>\n
The Triller press conference took place on Friday night, with the main event of the upcoming boxing card featuring Askren and Paul. During the press conference, Masvidal made a special cameo appearance when Paul called him up on FaceTime<\/a>. Masvidal jokingly asked Paul if Askren was still alive following the brutal flying knee he ate two years ago. Taking to his social media<\/a> this weekend, Masvidal took another shot at his rival Askren.<\/p>\n The individual I buried does not represent MMA. He represents all the hard core and casual crotch sniffers #andnew<\/a><\/p>\n — Jorge Masvidal UFC (@GamebredFighter) March 28, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
