He did verbalize it.
These 2 have known each other and exchanged words since 2008, Ariel Helwani is not lurking everywhere 2 MMA fighters are for quotes.
That doesn't mean he didn't say anything, others also pointed out questionable (i,e. racist/xenophobic) Ben Askren twitter likes in regards to Jorge coupled with what he has actually said in front of the public which I already mentioned in my original post. I don't know why people keep asking for what he said, he's said a lot and it's almost like nobody actually understands what he's saying while praising Askren's intellect.
