Askren certainly has a case to make. Despite only leaping to the UFC in 2019, Askren right away became a fan-favorite within the business and was rapidly embroiled in fights with half of the top-ranked welterweights. His battle against Masvidal at UFC 239 was a highly anticipated match, and after that Masvidal knocked him out in 5 seconds, a surface which got massive national exposure.

” I would most likely lean towards Usman, for sure, however I think there stand out possibilities where Masvidal will win,” Askren said. “I dislike stating it. It pains me to say it but yes, I think Usman is going to win and thats so frustrating.”
” He says some of these things like three-piece and a soda that possibly isnt purposefully funny however its really genuine,” Askren stated. “People like that when he states F-ing extremely needed, which I feel like he was type of a douche for punching me when I was already unconscious. I believed that was unnecessary, but he says it was very essential. And you understand what, it is quite funny. I was the man that got punched and Ill say, you know what, that was Jorge being real and that was type of amusing. Although it was me and I believed he was a douchebag for punching me when I was unconscious, it was kind of amusing. So, yes, there is a certain authenticity to Jorge that individuals truly, actually take pleasure in.

Regardless of his clear respect for Masvidal and his apparent distaste for Usman, Askren still thinks that come Saturday, individual authenticity isnt going to matter, since while Usman may not be “genuine” in interviews, he is very genuine in the cage.
” He goes to MMA and all the unexpected he has this persona that hes the hardest dude ever and hes so cool, and its fake!” Askren said. “Everyone sees that its phony! Thats why he cant get fans, since we understand its deceitful. Its not real and thats why I was so upset. Thats not the man that you were. You concerned MMA and you believed you had to be this other person, and individuals are seeing through it … People dont like fraud. They like it when people are authentic.”

Conversely, Askren says Masvidals challenger this weekend, welterweight champion Kamaru Usman, is precisely the opposite. Askren and Usman have a long history together, dating back to their wrestling days where the two both trained at the Olympic training. When Askren came to the UFC last year, arguably his most bitter feud was with Usman, both due to the fact that Usman was champion and because, Askren says, he didnt like the brand-new personality Usman had actually adopted.
This Saturday, at UFC 251 in Abu Dhabi, Jorge Masvidal will challenge Kamaru Usman for the UFC welterweight championship. This comes on the heels of a 2019 campaign that saw Masvidal claim Fighter of the Year honors while introducing himself into extensive superstardom. And according to Ben Askren, Masvidal has him to thank for that.

However Askren is not trying to take all the credit for Masvidals fame. “Funky” says that he provided the platform for Masvidal to ascend, however “Street Jesus” profited from it and gotten in touch with individuals for being who he is.
” I put the spotlight on him,” Askren told ESPN yesterday. “It is (all me). His Twitter fans, his Instagram followers went 5x, I put the spotlight on him. I played the foil to him. I let him shine. Regrettably, right? I believed I was going to crush him.”
” Think about the individuals who are actually popular, theyre very authentic. I think she was truly genuine in the beginning and then she started having this prima donna thing to her and people freaking disliked it.”

Leading surfaces of Jorge Masvidal.
Masvidal is one of the most skilled veterans in the UFC, having signed up with the organization in 2013. In spite of his long tenure with the UFC, “Gamebred” had actually never achieved much in the method of mainstream popularity. But in 2019, Masvidal had one of the most impressive late-career renaissances, increasing his Q-rating with knockouts of Askren, Darren Till, and a medical professionals stoppage of Nate Diaz to declare the one-off BMF title. But Askren says that it was Masvidals record-breaking knockout of him that truly launched Masvidals career resurgence.
