Masvidal: "It’s not over for Ben"

[SuperNintendo]

Jorge wouldn't have acted the way he did post fight if Askren would have just kept his mouth shut.

Karma's a bitch, enough said.

And how often does a super duper 40 yard dash ultra flying knee happen?

Masvidal could have easily come out a pretzel as well.

 

[Katsumi Yamada]

I still can't find out what Ben said that was supposedly so bad.

George seems kinda childish here.

 

[Wicked_1]

Really it all depends on Ben's next match. How he comes back will say a lot. Its not like people will hit the flying knee like that very often. Had it not landed no one knows how it would have went. It was a amazing ko, but we didn't get to see anything from either fighter besides the knee. Jorge kinda rubs me the wrong way with some of his talk, but he has the right to yap after the amazing win. Still.. 2 and 2 in last 4 in a division full of good fighters doesn't earn you a title shot imo. Colby should get the shot, there's no one else that's ahead of him, especially mastival.

 

[MartinGibson86]

Good. Askren brought this on himself. No one will ever take him seriously again.

How did he bring it on himself? And, yes, he will be taken seriously again. Dude has 1 friggin loss.

And Masvidal's a punk. Just go around slappin people you don't like huh? Fuckin goon.

Askren dominates the rematch in 2021.

 

[BEER]

I mean, Masvi is a pretty awesome fighter, but Askren was right about his intellect:

"We're having dialect"

Come on.

You've never had a slip up while talking? Really?

 

[chrisdiaz]

Oh please


the guy was enjoying his time in the spotlight and brought alot of intrigue and entertainment to the sport. What you should be saying is thank you AskrenGOAT. Thank you.

thank you for getting ko'd in 5 seconds? I would thank him for that. Ben got everything he deserved.

He should have acted more humble after the lawler fight and people may have respected him more. I was at tmobile and evreyone was cheering for masvidal.

Masvidal is just not very smart. That's fine.

 

[BEER]

Masvidal is just not very smart. That's fine.

Perhaps, but picking that as an example is kind of silly. People trip up and say the wrong words all the time. It isn't really a sign of lower intelligence.

classless - take the fastest KO in ufc history and move on

 

[Shinobi]

Honestly, i don't have much of a problem with anything Masvidal did. I don't give a shit about the fighters. They're not my friends, they're not my family. Fuck them. There are billions of people starving in the world and i can still sleep every night. So why would i give a fuck about some douchbag getting knocked out? I don't feel like pretending i care about people i don't even know.

It's a fight, and it's for my entertainment. The more drama, the better, and they did choose to put their lives on the line, so i really don't give a fuck if you get a couple more punches after being dropped or not. People forget that there's too much on the line for these guys, and in the heat of the moment they wanna make sure they secure the win. They wanna take no chances. They don't wanna risk the other guy surviving and coming back. This has happened before. Fighters do come back and win fights after looking KO'd. There's just too much on the line to risk it in the name of "class". It's MMA, not MCA.


Now, all this being said, i think you're weak minded as fuck, and probably not very intelligent, if you honestly get that triggered by comments. It's like someone insulting me online and then me trying to find him so i can get revenge. If words get to you, you're not that tough. You might be tough as a fighter, but you're not tough as a human being.

 

[kickpuncher]

Reading comprehension, retard. I don’t care for fighters who always talk shit, but one fact remains: they bring in ppv cash. So if you fight a shit talker, break his face and enjoy the extra cash. And stop projecting, limp dick.

I ain't the one with the limp dick. You the only one that needs Jon's dick pills so you can get it up for a fight. Greasy ass casuals.

It's just ironic that he makes such a blatant mistake when he's defending his intellectual integrity.

 

[boss429]

This has nothing to do with intellect, when English is not your first language you don't always use the right words. Is Khabib a moron too? Someone intelligent knows what he was saying either way.

You're pretty stupid to dive into a flying knee when someone is running towards you rather than side step though.

Long time fan of Jorge but for some reason I have always been under the impression he was born and raised in Florida and grew up with English as his first language.

Did I miss something here over the years?

Free Speech... It’s not as free as it seems.

Askren’s next fight should dictate where he goes.

He didn't speak English until he was 12. His Spanish is not really very clean either, though.

 

[BEER]

I don't think any of what he said was trying to convey that he was particularly intelligent.

He was pondering if Askren might be a little racist by pretending not to understand him using basic English. He might have a point, to be honest.

I dont think it was a racist thing. If some white guy said that,Askren would have reacted the same.

You can be born in the US and have english still not be your first language. He may have not learned it at all until he attended school. Typical for many hispanic kids.

Both time stamped.



"I speak full Spanish that's my first tongue"

 

[Sinthesized]

Would love to see this come back and bite him in the end. Imagine getting this sensitive over some IRL-trolling from Askren.

Imagine being shocked someone is honest about disliking someone
