Many would assume that Ben Askren would not hold back with his words against Jorge Masvidal but that was not the case. Askren showed class and did not even celebrate the loss of the guy that brutally knocked him out.
I don’t believe in Karma. If you fight long enough shit happens.

What makes it impressive is that Askren did not even throw shade despite the disrespects Masvidal did after the 5 second KO. Masvidal went on to side with Jake Paul, a Youtuber and some fans even called him a sore winner. Masvidal tried to rub his win against Askren over and over again, even though the fight ended a long time ago.
Ben Askren may not have had the best UFC career, but one thing is for sure is he handles losses better than any fighter. He simply accepts the loss and moves on as if nothing happened. He did not rub his win over Robbie Lawler.
As for Masvidal, he responded with his first KO loss with class. He accepted that Usman is just the better fighter and that he got his number as well. It was just seems ironic that Masvidal was saying that Usman holds the softest hands he has faced and yet got knocked out cold.
