Another look at the fastest KO in UFC history. Jorge Masvidal. Wow.

#UFC239

[MMABurger @MMABurger]

Proof Masvidal had his flying knee prepped heading into #UFC239.

[UFC on TNT Sports @ufcontnt]

Jorge Masvidal has had that knee planned 💀

He was practising 48 hours before he delivered the ultimate KO to Ben Askren...

#UFC239

[MMABurger @MMABurger]

@manchakhadim No. It seemed like an orchestrated idea to take advantage of Ben Askren’s heavy takedown offence. It may not have worked 10 out of 10 times, but it seemed to be a plan of Masvidal’s camp heading in.

Nurmagomedov on McGregor rematch:

How does he deserve a rematch? He tapped. He begged me, "Please, don't kill me." Now he talk about rematch. Tony Ferguson on the line, people who have win streaks on the line, but not the guy who don't win nothing last three years #UFC242

Donald Cerrone on Tony Ferguson: “he’s just high volume. We’ll be alright.”

The two are scheduled to fight at #UFC238, June 8. This will be Tony Ferguson’s anticipated return to the octagon after the troubling news of his mental state deteriorating.

Glad to see his recovery.
