WATCH: When Jorge Masvidal Produced the Craziest Knockout Ever in 5 Seconds

Jorge Masvidal produced the fastest knockout in UFC history when he knocked out Ben Askren in July last year. The Welterweight bout between the duo featured inside the T-Mobile Arena before Jon Jones was to take on Thiago Santos at UFC 229.

Hardly before anyone could finish a bite of their refreshment, Masvidal knocked Askren out. Hardly before anyone could imagine, the result was out which read: Jorge Masvidal beat Ben Askren via TKO at 00:05 of Round 1.

The nature of the fight was such that Masvidal would hardly ever forget that. Even if he does, people will not fail to remind him,

“It’s tough not to watch at least once a week, the reason being somebody will tag me in it or repost it or do a new meme or a new highlight video to it,” he said six months after the fight.

“Or somebody will say, ‘Look at this again real quick’ and I’ll say ‘I’ve seen it a lot, man’. Fans come up to me and say this is my favourite fight of yours. Luckily it’s only five seconds.”

“It was a little bit surreal,” Masvidal added. “It wasn’t until I got to my hotel room and I was hanging out with a couple of friends over there, we were talking about fights when I was 12, 13, fights we were watching. Lord have mercy, all these guys, I beat them, I’ve got the record. I remember so and so having the record when I was a child. Now I got the record.”

Jorge Masvidal hints at a move to the lightweight division if worth it

Currently weighing in at 170 lbs, Masvidal is set for a potential fight against Kamaru Usman. After that, he might consider moving to the lightweight category to set himself up against the likes of Khabib Nurmagomedov..

Dropping down by 15-20 lbs will not be an easy job. But Masvidal believes that he is ready to make the change and beat anybody if he is rewarded well.

“At 155 it’d be a little different. But that’s not to say that I couldn’t win and that I couldn’t make the weight. I would just have to be rewarded so m***********g handsomely for me to drop down to 155 and compete with anybody. I would love to do it,” he said
