After Jake Paul and Jorge Masvidal’s Vicious Mockery, Ex-Rival Ben Askren Fires Back at the Duo – “Butt Buddies Again?”

Jake Paul is at it again with his social media antics. ‘The Problem Child’ recently took the opportunity to hilariously make fun of his former rival and retired UFC fighter Ben Askren on Twitter after joining hands with Jorge Masvidal. Moreover, ‘Funky’ took notice of the post and fired back at the YouTuber.

The YouTube sensation recently ran into Jorge Masvidal in Miami. They confronted each other following Gamebred’s comments about Jake Paul and exchanged a few words. However, it looks like they have settled their beef as both Paul and Masvidal took aim at Ben Askren in a social media post.

Jake Paul trolls Ben Askren and ‘Funky’ fires back

‘Funky’ Ben Askren was not the biggest UFC star during his time as an active MMA fighter. In a famous UFC moment, Askren suffered one of his biggest losses against Jorge Masvidal after eating a flying knee at UFC 239. It resulted in the fastest knockout in the history of the promotion. Moreover, when he decided to take on Jake Paul in a boxing match, he suffered the same fate. Askren was knocked out with a powerful right hand from ‘The Problem Child’ in the very first round of the fight.

After settling his beef with Masvidal, Jake Paul took to Twitter and posted a picture of his fist and ‘Gamebred’s knee to mock Askren about his defeats. He captioned the post, “yo [Ben Askren] you recognize anything in this photo?” Ben Askren was quick to reply to the post and held nothing back. He clapped back at his former rivals and wrote, “You and Jorge made up and you are butt buddies again?” The decision to troll ‘Funky’ was made after Masvidal appeared in a recent episode of ‘BS w/ Jake Paul’.

Facing MMA fighters like Askren has yielded great results for Paul and it doesn’t look like he will stop soon.

‘The Problem Child’ will fight yet another MMA fighter

Jake Paul was very determined to prove his doubters wrong by challenging Tommy Fury, who had a real background in boxing. However, the results didn’t favor the YouTube sensation. He suffered his first defeat in Saudi Arabia. Paul did put up a commendable performance as Tommy Fury took the win via a split decision. Now, he will be taking on MMA veteran Nate Diaz on August 5th.

Given the history of Jake Paul’s fights with MMA fighters, many people believe him to be the favorite heading into his fight against Nate Diaz. But some people have highly rated the Stockton native’s striking prowess and they believe that it can be a tougher challenge for Paul than most people realize.
