Where did Askren talk about Masvidal?

[Stump]

Where are the quotes or video?

I havent been paying keen attention but I dont recall ben saying anything about Jorges culture or family.

What really got Jorge so pissed off? Does anyone have any sources?

 

[Blanqa Blanqua]

He's been talking shit abput everyone in an arrogant way.

I'm glad he got smoked and the only fight I want to see for him next is a Lawler rematch.

Jorge has known Ben for many years
all you have to do is listen to Maz
and he will let you know why he dislikes him

 

[HHJ]

He didnt say anything particularly bad but its not like Masvidal isnt easy to rile up.

I saw some Masvidal interview and he said Askren has been taking shots at him, for no reason, since 2017.

Well, for starters.....

Askren:
“Here’s the deal: Dana came out and said this morning that they’re looking to do me and Masvidal. I heard that, I said yes last week,” Askren said in a Twitter video he recently posted. “It didn’t take me more than ten seconds to say ‘of course, Jorge, let’s do this.’ You think you’re a gangster.”

“Well, now I’m starting to hear he’s getting cold feet,” Askren said. “He doesn’t want to do it; he doesn’t want to fight me because he’s scared. Jorge, just tell the people. Are you scared?

“If you’re scared, I will move on to somebody else. If you’re not scared, June 8th, Chicago. I’m free, you’re free, let’s do this. It’s really simple.”

“The winner’s probably gonna get a title shot, Jorge, so there’s quite a bit on the line,” he continued. “And I think it would be in your best interest to stop being a chicken and just say yes.”

What devastating shit talk
"You're a chicken sign the fight"

 

[Kyojiro Kagenuma]

I think Masdival just doesn't like him on general principle as well.

 

[RL69]

Nah, he knew exactly what he was doing and saying and how far to push his racist undertones and someone punished him for it.

Exactly. We all know a Ben.

I know right.....How would that get under someone like Jorge's skin?

And it's not like he said anything else after that.....

I have no idea why anyone is pretending Askren was talking a bunch of shit....It's ridiculous.

 

[Amerikuracana]

Yeah he didn't say anything that bad.

 

[Kyojiro Kagenuma]

This is one of the most beautiful videos ever to grace this godforsaken website.

 

[SmilinDesperado]

Ben was talking trash, but not in a typical meathead MMA way. He was smugly saying stuff, and talking down to Mas like he was a scrub.

For a real dude like Jorge, that kind of talk gets you smacked.

Okay, that is some very lukewarm trash talk. I guess you did say it was a start. Did he say anything closer to the line than this?

I have no idea if he was talking shit or not, I didn't pay attention
But "please fight me or you are a chicken" is hardly shit talk. A call out maybe. Which worked

 

[TheRassler]

Askren says he took the Masvidal fight because it was an easy fight.

 

[Blayt7hh]

I still haven't seen or heard anything Ben said that could be perceived as racist. Douchey maybe but not racist. I've asked in a few threads now an no one has been able to show anything

 

[Threetrees]

Oh I guess Ben Askren did say he was showcasing toxic masculinity or something
