It only took Jorge Masvidal five seconds to score a finish and ultimately deal Ben Askren his first-ever career loss. “Gamebred’s” flying knee knockout is now the fastest in UFC history, edging Duane Ludwig by a mere second.
“Funky” was hit on the temple as he changed levels to seemingly shoot for a takedown, and was immediately knocked out upon impact. As Joe Rogan pointed out during the post-fight interview, the fight technically ended within two seconds of action.
Askren immediately left the cage and gave no interviews, but UFC president Dana White gave a brief update on his condition during the post-fight presser.
