Jorge Masvidal wants to prove that he can defeat Ben Askren at his own game as well, which is why he is open to a grappling match in the future.

Masvidal made one heck of a statement as he defeated Askren with a flying knee knockout just five seconds into their UFC 239 welterweight matchup this past weekend. Leading up to the fight, “Gamebred” spoke of how he wanted to punish Askren for 14 minutes before delivering the final blow. However, he later revealed why he decided to go for the flying knee instead.

Masvidal Says Askren Can’t Hold Him Down

Even if the knee had missed and Askren had taken him down, Masvidal was confident in getting back to his feet. Of course, there is no way of knowing that now. But the Miami native would love to prove it by grappling with Askren sometime.

“I love to wrestle, and I would’ve loved to prove that against this guy that he can not hold me down,” Masvidal told BJPenn.com Radio (via MMA News). “I’m going to have to grapple him one of these days. When I’m bored of this fighting stuff and I need to make some quick cash, I’m going to call him up, ‘yo Ben, I’m going to spank you up bro, in some grappling just to show you who the alpha of alphas is.’ It might sound real rude and [like] I’m out of my mind, but in a five-minute setting or in a cage type setting grappling, I could give this guy hell man.

“…It’s not that I’d like to grapple him, but I know I could beat the dude. Do I care for it? It’ll happen, I’m sure, one day. Some promotion will call us up. Offer us some money for me to drop this guy on his face, and I’ll prove to the world he wasn’t going to win that fight grappling either. I know it and he knows it, but I’m showing it to the rest of the motherf*****s watching.”

The two still don’t like each other, so it’s hard to see a future grappling match happening anytime soon. However, it would certainly be interesting to watch. Masvidal also recently took part in a grappling match with Anthony Pettis last month which ended in a draw.

Do you think Masvidal would get the better of Askren in a grappling match?

Colby Covington: CM Punk Has More Octagon Time & Two Less KO Losses Than Ben Askren

Ben Askren hasn’t made any friends in the welterweight division since joining the UFC.

Especially former interim UFC welterweight champion Colby Covington. So when Askren was knocked out in just five seconds at UFC 239 this past weekend, “Chaos” certainly enjoyed himself. In fact, he predicted that his American Top Team training partner and friend, Jorge Masvidal, would get the job done with a flying knee, as he told “The Ariel Helwani MMA Show” earlier today (Mon. July 8, 2019):

“I predicted it,” Covington said. “I said [in a recent interview] he was going to pull out a big knockout win the knee, and that’s exactly what he did, so I’m super happy for him. He’s back on a little win streak, two wins in a row, you know, two and two in his last four. I couldn’t be happier for him.

“Now we’re at the top of the mountain. We’re doing things we’ve been talking about for the past eight years. I’ve been living and training with that guy for the last eight years at American Top Team. We had dreams and visions of making it to the top of the mountain together, and now here we are, the top of the mountain. So, very thankful for having him by my side, but now it’s business time.”

Given the fact that it was Askren who was the one getting knocked out, Covington said it made the victory all the sweeter:

“Oh, yeah, it made it so much sweeter, you know?” Covington said. “For a guy with aspergers that’s always talking about my IQ level – lets check his IQ level. We should check Askren’s IQ level. His brain has got to be real scrambled today.”

Covington took one final chance to mock Askren’s defeat by pointing out former WWE star CM Punk has more Octagon time than “Funky.” He also claims that Punk (who has never been finished via strikes) also has two less knockout losses on his record, as Covington is suggesting Robbie Lawler should’ve been given the knockout win over Askren in their fight at UFC 235:

“Fun fact,” Covington said. “CM Punk has spent more time in the UFC Octagon and has tow less KO losses than Askren. So I think Askren needs to go back to Asia with all the other inferior products.”

What do you make of Covington’s comments comparing Askren to Punk?
