LAS VEGAS – Jorge Masvidal thinks he’s earned the next shot at the UFC welterweight strap – but “Gamebred” isn’t going to settle for anything less than his worth when fighting for a UFC title. Saturday night, the MMA world exploded when Masvidal (34-13 MMA, 11-6 UFC) hit opponent Ben Askren (19-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) with a flying knee in the opening two seconds of their UFC 239 bout. The knee and haymaker follow-up shots transpired in the span of five seconds and registered as the quickest knockout in UFC history. Masvidal, 34, has now won back-to-back fights for the first time since 2017. He’s been victorious in five out of his past seven bouts, with the only losses being decision defeats to Demian Maia and Stephen Thompson. Prior to the finish of Askren, Masvidal recorded a comparably violent knockout of Darren Till into the MMA history books
