He even broke the record for the fastest knock-out in the history of UFC with his amazing kick. Askren was going for Masvidal’s legs when he made a perfectly anticipated move toward his opponent. He even delivered two punches to Askren’s face when he was on the ground, but was soon stopped by the referee.
