Somebody check on Ben Askren...

Just bad luck, man, feel super bad for him.

This is why you always have the feeling out process when you're a top tier wrestler. You have to hide your takedowns behind striking in this day and age. It used to be you could easily just close the distance, but strikers have learned to keep wrestlers at bay.

Reading other fighters tweets about that knockout is hilarious.

That was awesome. Glad the shite talker got what he deserved.

That's the most ridiculous thing ever.

That's an extremely low percentage move (flying knee), even when timed. ONE (fighting organization) has a ton of Muay-Thai bouts where they throw them all the time. It really just has to be timed correctly and he did.

Especially when going in for a takedown, the most vulnerable part of the body to knockouts (the jaw) is hidden and it takes a lot more force to the crown/temple/top of the head to get a KO.

Cocky wrestler thought he was indestructible and got shown he wasn't. Interesting to see where he goes from here, but the reaction his body had was a sure sign of brain damage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abnormal_posturing#Decorticate

People that keep saying that really aren't processing what the other people are saying on it.

Like yeah, it was premeditated and thought out.

But it was still wildy fortunate because of the likelihood of being repeated in the same circumstances.

Maybe fortunate is a better word than lucky because of how people process words.

Ben will be trolled by this for the rest of his life, which is unfortunate considering his full body of work as a combat athlete.

We all remember Ronda doing something like that and we kinda knew she was weak mentally, Ben is definitely handling it better but if I were his coach I'd be telling him to maybe call it quits. You can only take so many giant concussions like that one and with the abnormal posturing to boot? Better to just be safe and coach.

What Sleeping Tiger is saying, by the way, is that while you can plan to knee someone coming in for a takedown the chances even after planning are very low. This was literally just all of the right circumstances coming together.

If he had mistimed that just a small amount we're talking about how Jorge stupidly left the ground and got dropped on his head and ended in a few seconds. I'm not an Askren fan saying that, just saying that it was just the stars aligning for Jorge.

Masvidal said in an interview last week that he didn't actually decide to come out with that knee till the start of the match, he knew he would at some point but hadn't decided

Also his post fight press conference was perfection

"it was super necessary"

"if I see that dude in whole foods imma still slap him up because I dont like him"
