And about as long as Ben askrens ufc career

So funny & true !! 🤣

I was thinking about this math _before I even clicked the video!_ 😂 Well done, Jack.

You nailed it too. BUT No dis to the ref OR the statisticians. They don't all have a God's eye view like the audience. But _if they did,_ they woulda seen Askren _hit the floor_ in 3 seconds.... 🤔... Sooo… SB Rewind is arguably *305 times* the fight? 😐 Ok I'mma go watch this again like I don't have a life. 😌

I tapped on the video for this comment

"Brought to you by modeloooooooooooooooohhhh!!!"

From his perspective it was just "This fight is brought to you by Mo..." and lights out. Just as sudden as The Sopranos series finale.

ModelOOOOOOOH!

@@blakewaters8195 Its Modelo Time Fooo

@@blakewaters8195 the best call of all time

Presentation of context/history can make even the most forgone conclusion and memetic events compelling again; _this, SB and the Disciples Of Bois certainly know by now._

I think Askren didnt just have a shot, he would have been the favourite. How Masvidal is supposed to not get wrecked as soon as it goes to the ground is mysterious to me and eventually Askren would have gotten a takedown surely.

Anyone who had seen Ben throw a punch did not see that fight going the distance.

@@drewsmith3673 go watch him in his prime before the hip surgery, he literally couldn't be stopped. He was an undefeated champion in 2 organisations

He did have a shot. If that knee didn’t land he woulda won I think and I also think if he wasn’t retired and was in shape I think he could beat Jorge right now. Jorge got lucky

There was an interview or press confrence or something with masvidal where he said this was going to happen, too. Which is even more disrespectful, so confident in what's going to happen you make it known to your opponent as well, and it still happens

@@SheepHairOG Thats where I got it from.. the interview after, and they showed the video of him doing the EXACT same knee and everything, because people didn't believe him.

Thank you for that explanation, because as a non-MMA fan, it looks like an accident to me. But with your explanation I get what’s going on now. Thanks

@@pleasestaysafe2787 You must be a Secret Base fan as I am too. I like watching some of the beefs of sports I don't even follow, but I do follow basketball and MMA. This match was pretty hyped up from what I remember, because they REEEEAAALLLYYY hated each other. Overall they detailed everything about the match perfectly.. they just missed the part where Jorge and his team actually practiced the knee in training. I recommend you check out some of the other MMA episodes they have on Secret Base especially the one on Anderson Silva "a decade of lonliness" .. I think for someone that doesn't follow MMA would absolutely enjoy a story of a great fighter.

@@GodbodyRoku Thanks for the further explanation and the recommendation. This episode was fun for me because I had no idea who is going to win.

Guessing it means you're a new fan

Thing is gamebred knew Askren's style and tendencies and he got exactly what he expected and prepared for and took full advantage.

I'm a relatively new fan but between fights like Teixeira vs Prohazka or Nunes vs Pena I'm surprised after every other event

For me that was McGregor-Aldo years back when Conor dropped him 13 seconds in. My buddies were still upstairs getting drinks from the fridge when it happened we had to rewind since one of them paid for the fight

@@whateverdot theres nothing wrong with that.

Yo, didn't expect to see you here

Slapshoes in the house!

A simple business module…

Not in the UFC, but there actually have been faster fights in MMA, in his early career I believe Conor McGregor had a 3 second long fight lol (could be wrong) But your right, very unlikely to see

@@MossFauna It looked like this fight lasted all of two seconds.

@@coruscant100 Both are correct , Connor does have that but clearly Ben was out immediately. Took more time for the ref too call off the fight then it actually lasted lol

This match started with one man literally running into the fight and ending it on the run. Hard to get a KO faster than that.

Fast forward to when UFC has a fighter with telekinesis and Kos someone the millisecond the fight starts.

It was a part of WEC history too when Jose Aldo did the same thing to Cub Swanson

I see what you did here😂

Somewhere... SD Jones jolts awake: “Huh?”

🤣

"As well as his nose."

You can just tell he knows exactly what’s going to happen. He may have not realized it would turn out so perfectly be he knows what his opponent will do and has a counter ready.

𓅓

Same. I don’t follow UFC so I had no idea who these guys were. Now I feel like I went to high school with them. That’s some top-shelf writing.

I was getting a little nervous going into the end because I also didn’t know who was going to win

Jorge has fought 4 times since this knockout he’s 1-3 since then. However 2 fights was for the championship belt

@@Zoebelle1369 Yea it's easy to say oh he's lost his last 3. But let's be honest everyone at welterweight is losing to Colby and usman. They are levels ahead of the rest.

@@brownjatt21 what’s your point? I wasn’t disrespecting Masvidal it’s a simple statement

it just sucks that he couldn't use that energy earlier in his career especially with all of those losses, thank god he's a lucky man

0:17 wow that guy's chin, even w/o the beard, sticks out like a 1960s Comic book hero chin or something

I will always hold that view. I'm saying it from the armchair but I'm fairly sure ur arm doesn't just flop like that if ur conscious. Everyone in the arena ref and commentary included thought he was out

I mean yeah, why would he not still be fighting to get out of the choke? Faking a knockout to get an advantage seems like it must be outside the realm of what UFC is about - It's something that might work in some real-world scenarios, but I wouldn't expect it to fly in competitive combat, really.

@@Woodledude exactly. no one tries to decieve being knocked out in mma. and if they did then it's because they'd obviosuly want the fight to end

iirc lawler is literally giving a thumps up when herb is about to stop it, he's says it in the video that herb missed lawler giving him a sign that he was ok

@@SteveNashty131 Oh, strange. I suppose that does complicate things a little... I'm not totally sure what to make of that now, and I can understand where the frustration on Lawler's side was coming from, if he was still trying to get out of the hold and signalled the ref to keep the match going.

Sure u did 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

@@gamebred6995 Hell yeah. KO'd Yves Edwards in Russia. I think I was in HS at the time. That's how I knew he was pretty legit. Bodog had some cool venues like Costa Rica too. Early 2000s MMA was a wild time. Used to have Pride, Elite XC, StrikeForce...shiet.

@Eh Ha That's how I was introduced to people like Tara La Rosa. I didn't know many fighters they had on their roster but did like that I could watch for free lol. In retrospect, they had Sonnen, Yves Edwards, Fedor, Eddie Alvarez, and Gegard Mousasi on a few cards.

@@Chandasouk what a nerd 😂 good for ya mate

@@gamebred6995 Gotta be. The only other sport I follow besides basketball. I still remember people saying they used to "train UFC" 🤣

Yeah... imagine doing a deep dive on the corruption and how sponsors try to work their sneezy way around regulations. Ha!

Now that i think about it, you could go back and see how many odd things F1 has that really I haven't seen in many other sports. Those guys are insane, no offense to the guys!

Two moments you could pick out would be "Is That Glock?" from the 2008 finale or "You've hit the wrong part, my friend." from 1997 as rewinds. Collapse featuring Benetton, Williams or Mclaren.

Please god no

Motorsport in general. The forensics this team could bring to events like the 1955 Le Mans disaster, Niki Lauda's accident that marked the end of F1 at the Nordschleife, Beef History between Colin McRae and just about every team he ever drove for, the rabbit hole goes deep.

No he wouldn’t have. Askren can’t fight real contenders.

Lol everyone in these replies doesn’t understand the pure meme that is askrens striking

for the people who don't get the sarcasm, search up Ben Askren spinning back fists on KZfaq and you won't regret it

@@181cameron maybe you should lay off the sarcasm if you can't spot a joke this obvious

dumbass replies that doesn't get the joke

Askren been collecting souls in mojahed ever since 😂

my favorite PA band

you seen their 5 part documentary on it? "fighting in the age of loneliness". it's amazing

@@scan1an yes and it’s great. There’s so many beef histories, weird rules and rewinds they could do that would all be super entertaining

@@scan1an I think Jon Bois talked about wanting to add a more about Conor and Khabib on Chapo

Conor and Khabib deep rewind on Khabib jumping the fence would be unreal 🙏🏻

@@paytondegenhardt5278 there’s a film on KZfaq called Lokation by Hizzer edits and it’s basically a rewind, it’s amazing

No offense, but that's Seinfeld worthy

Imagine paying for a UFC PPV

If you expected masvidal to win you’re a casual. One of the reasons why this was so shocking is because masvidal should’ve lost pretty easily but shocked the world

@@wreckitrigo230 Ben Askren seemed vastly overrated by people like Joe Rogan. His hype was unwarranted. The reason I say this is because he had given people reason to doubt his IQ and skill before too. People just didn't want to do their research. His fight vs. Luis Santos which ended in a DQ is a fine example of absolutely ATROCIOUS fighting IQ. Go watch it. It's so so bad. Ben was a fine wrestler. And that got him far in MMA. But his instincts were bad. No high level wrestler should ever allow Robbie Lawler to just pick them up, slam them down and hammer them with punches to the point they go unconscious and wake back up.

There’s so many crazy mma stories

I’m so jealous that you got to watch this video without knowing how it ended

@@kirkmaxwellofficialit was like a short movie with a banger of a conclusion! I just rewatched it because of how much I liked it 😂

Askren is a wrestler who sucks at everything else, and Masvidal is the opposite of that - a striker who sucks on the ground. There was a high probability that Askren would be "shooting for the balls" from the very first minute, so Masvidal took a guess and gave the knee a try. He guessed right and was accurate. If this didn't work out, the fight could've went in Askren's favor if he did manage to take Masvidal to the ground and choke him out.

Ben Askren was shooting for a takedown, Jorge Masvidal expected him to open the fight with that so had planned on countering with the jump knee. There’s footage of him in the locker room before the fight with his coaches practicing the knee over and over. If he either missed Askren, or didn’t go for it at all he would have been taken down by Askren in the opening seconds of the fight. Against a wrestler the caliber of Ben Askren that is a nightmare, Ben could have had a chance to control Jorge and finish him with ground and pound, or just completely dominate him for the entire 1st round to the point of exhaustion. At which point takedowns in the 2nd and potentially 3rd round only get easier. It’s commonly agreed upon by a lot of MMA fans, if Askren lands the takedown to open that fight, he wins. That knee made Jorge’s career and essentially ended Ben’s.

Askren went for a takedown with no set up... he ate a knee to the face for it lol.

Masvidal by no means guarantee loses if he doesn't go for this but going for it and missing would be an abject catastrophe. What made it effective is most fighters won't go for a flying knee period unless it's the end of a round. For fighters that are trying to win the referees score cards it's inherently risky to go for a flashy move that is usually somewhat telegraphed in a league where everyone has at least a tiny amount of wrestling or jiujitsu skill. And if you get takendown not only is that a stat in your opponents column but it's massive amounts of time off the clock where you're accomplishing nothing. The beauty in this opening is Masvidal isn't a normal UFC fighter. He doesn't care about the judges score cards because he's decided to do whatever it takes to prevent the fight from reaching the table. Askren probably goes for the shoot no matter what but Masvidal deliberately ran into the center of the octagon leaving Ben with little time to assess the situation and making it look like the takedown would be ridiculously easy since he doesn't have his feet set. Never in 100 years does Ben expect him to jump. The talk about torturing him doesn't even factor into his assessment, this move was never on the table In Ben's mind because it's suicidal against any good UFC fighter. By going for it Jorge straight up disrespected him as a fighter. Masvidal himself probably wasn't expecting the KO... he likely expected a knockdown and that he'd get some ground and pound in and be able to force Ben to work from his back for half the round to take the strength out of him and make him more conservative in his takedown attempts. When Jorge went for it Ben lowered his head before the feet leave the mat. once he's airborne Askren's only hope is to catch the knee and twist him into a throw... instead he eats it.

@@Max-lm2jc Masvidal is a cery cappable grappler, much more cappable than Askren is a a striker or everything that isn't wrestling

I thought if they did a Masvidal video, his beef with Colby would be it. I haven't been updated, he's still facing charges at the moment right?

@@feardatd7961 yeah he pled not guilty so the charges are ongoing

That’s how they do videos, it’s not an explanation afterwards, is a buildup to the moment

That’s how these rewinds work. They start during the moment. “rewind” and end immediately after the moment. It’s supposed to give you context for why a moment was significant, not a whole picture into a career.

3 piece and a soda is what propelled him into stardom at the time though.

Shadow realm is the appropriate term to use for what occurred that night.

Bangers!

Masvidal has 1 win since this fight

Idk if "rise" is the word i'd use for 1 win against nate
