After staying silent for a couple of years, Ben Askren has finally fired back at Jorge Masvidal . Masvidal, who has been helping YouTuber Jake Paul prepare for his upcoming boxing match with Askren at Triller Fight Club’s April 17 pay-per-view at Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta, continues to mock his former foe. He even made an appearance via FaceTime during Friday’s pre-fight press conference between Askren and Paul, where he asked his former foe if he was “still alive,” a reference to the record-breaking flying knee that finished Askren at UFC 239 in July 2019. Their beef spilled over to Twitter , where Masvidal claimed Askren doesn’t represent MMA, which prompted “Funky” to finally let the world know how he really feels about the UFC 239 knockout.
