It’s July 6th, 2019. Jorge Masvidal and Ben Askren are fighting on the main card of the UFC 239 in Las Vegas. This UFC welterweight bout is one of the year’s most anticipated fights.
On one side, there’s the UFC veteran Jorge Masvidal, who’s been fighting for over 15 years. “Gamebred” Masvidal has beaten numerous famous MMA fighters, such as Donald Cerrone, Darren Till, Tim Means, etc.
On the other hand, there’s Ben Askren, who joined the UFC a couple of months earlier and has already beaten the legendary Robbie Lawler in this organization. Moreover, Askren is a seasoned fighter with wins over Shinya Aoki, Douglas Lima, Andrey Koreshkov, and others.
The well-known UFC ring announcer Bruce Buffer introduces these two UFC welterweights, and the fight is ready to begin. The referee, Jason Herzog, gives the green light, and the fight starts. Then, the unexpected happens. In the blink of an eye, Masvidal knocks out Askren with a sensational flying knee, and the fight ends after only five seconds. The crowd is on their feet and cheering for Masvidal.
That night, “Gamebred” set a UFC record for the fastest knockout in the promotion’s history, and it looks like it will stay unbroken for a while.
