As if there was any doubt, Jorge Masvidal is not a card-carrying member of Team Askren ahead of Ben Askren’s boxing match with Jake Paul.
Masvidal and Askren were involved in a memorable feud in 2019 that culminated in Masvidal delivering a record-breaking, five-second, flying knee knockout of Askren at UFC 239. The highlight vaulted Masvidal into another level of stardom, while Askren would compete one more time in the UFC before retiring from MMA later that year.
The bad blood between them has never completely subsided and Masvidal went as far as to align himself with Paul as he prepared to box Askren at a Triller Fight Night event that takes place Saturday in Atlanta.
