Jorge Masvidal praises Ben Askren for taking loss ‘on the chin’

When Jorge Masvidal beat the then-undefeated Ben Askren, he was unforgiving after a long and heated build up to their bout at UFC 239. This was despite recording a stunning flying-knee knockout over the former Olympian and also doing it in the quickest time in UFC history (5 seconds).

However, recently ‘Gamebred’ tweeted a surprising message of praise for the retired former ONE and Bellator champion. “Shout out to [Ben Askren] who never tucked tail after his loss. Made no excuses. Took it on the chin and never censored the haters like a coward,” wrote Masvidal.

Shout out to @Benaskren who never tucked tail after his loss.
