LAS VEGAS – It’s fair to say Jorge Masvidal doesn’t have much time for opponent Ben Askren ahead of their eagerly-anticipated welterweight clash at UFC 239. Chatting to MMA Junkie during a packed media day on Thursday ahead of Saturday’s pay-per-view event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Masvidal (33-13 MMA, 10-6 UFC) laid out his issues with his welterweight rival in his typical no-nonsense fashion. “(There are) numerous things,” Masvidal said. “He’s just a pompous (expletive), I can’t stand him. There’s no hate, because I don’t hate nobody, but I just don’t care for the dude, in this life or the next. He’s not my cup of tea, man.” Askren (19-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) has used his top-level wrestling skills to capture welterweight titles in both Bellator and ONE Championship during his career.
