“You Are So Right Ben”- Jorge Masvidal Has an Interesting Proposal for Ben Askren
Jorge Masvidal may be running short on man-power in his creative department, for he is seeking former foe, Ben Askren’s help. A recent back and forth on social media has drawn former opponents out in public.
Recent months have seen Gamebred eyeing the Welterweight champion Kamaru Usman. The fighters have been on a collision course for quite some time now. And they are looking to face each other in the octagon soon enough.
However, the fight may not be taking place instantly considering the time it will take for the effects of the Coronavirus pandemic to die out. For the time-being, Masvidal has kept himself busy by taking shots at the champion. The BMF champion mocks Usman for having multiple personalities and contradicting himself. To which Askren responds by saying “Beginning was funny Jorge, but the end was shit”.

Seemingly, Funky is not a big fan of the video and understandably so. For it glorifies the explosive knockout that he suffered at the hands(knees..) of Jorge “Gamebred” Masvidal. Masvidal came out on twitter to respond to Askren’s tweet.
“You are so right Ben. I would be honored to bring you in to help with the creative department storybook ending #deadass.“- Jorge Masvidal

Funky is right to be wary of Masvidal, for the two fighters have not always seen eye to eye. However, their mutual disdain for the welterweight champion Kamaru Usman is what binds them together. Askren has even gone as far as changing his Twitter handle to “Marty Sucks” as a personal jab at the Nigerian fighter.

Will Kamaru Usman Tak on Jorge Masvidal?
Jorge Masvidal seems to be the kind of tail that Usman can just not shake off. Which is exactly how the champion likes it. This see-saw of will-they won’t-they may be coming to an end, as all that’s left is for the champion to agree to the fight.
“I used to be just like him. For years I was trying to get people to notice me, especially the champion. I was that guy. So I know what it’s like to be that guy and I’m loving being in this position now. It’s time for this fight to happen.”- Kamaru Usman to SCMP

Coming off a streak of three consecutive wins, Gamebred seems to be on a high right now. Masvidal took on Nate Diaz most recently. The two were headlining UFC 244 back in November 2019. The fight came to an end with a TKO in favor of Masvidal in the third round.
Do you think the retired Ben Askren should seek a new career as Masvidal’s creative director?
