It was all part of the game plan. If you thought Jorge Masvidal ’s (34-13 MMA, 11-6 UFC) shocking, record-setting knockout of Ben Askren (19-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) at UFC 239 was a fluke, then think again. It was pure strategy, and his team has the receipts to prove it. Masvidal’s coach, Mike Brown of American Top Team, posted footage of Masvidal training the exact flying knee sequences that flatted Askren just five seconds into their key welterweight bout on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
