Askren doesn't remember Masvidal's flying knee - ESPN Video
Ben Askren describes when his memory returned after getting knocked out by Jorge Masvidal at UFC 239.www.espn.com
the only redeeming bullshit from early stoppage herb dean vs. lawler is we got to see masvidal flying knee ben with such fury, he used his head as a fulcrum and 360'd around him lulz

People are up in arms about a comment I made on twitter about Johnny Walker being next. That's how thin the LHW division is now. Jan Blacowicz should be next for fighting a soft jawed middleweight? You can basically remove 7 of the guys on the top 15 list. Reyes is ranked higher than Jan. The others are old or have lost recently. The UFC doesn't want to push new talent too fast and have them end up like Sage, Paige, Till, etc...but LHW is their weakest division imo. I think if Jon Jones move to HW then fighters would go to LHW from MW and suddenly we will have more competition. People are scared of Jones and that's for real.

yea... i'm pretty sure Jans best fight is his decision loss to Gus, after Gus tried to recover from his DC loss.
Like we said, lhw is shit, no one has the skills to make JJ break a sweat, so he'll just use the easy mode greg jackson decision victory route.
but you don't murder johnny walker by giving him a title shot, that reeks of stupid, much like how Till got a title shot.

Santos fought with torn ACL, MCL, PCL, meniscus
Let me guess cause I didn't watch the fight. I bet that fucking oblique kick tore it all.
That thing should be fucking illegal.

Can't seem to find it now but a replay showed Santos kicked with his right but his left gave out as he pivoted in the first round. He would go on to continue to use the left the rest of the fight which I imagine ended up doing a lot more damage to his knee than the initial injury. So while he toughed it out, it was a poor decision to do so and potentially never fights again, which really sucks.

Interesting how many of the losers had more guaranteed money than the person who beat them. If not for the performance of the night bonus, masvidal would have made less than bitchboy. Rockhold still made more than the guy who whipped him. Gilbert Melendez too but I don't remember him.
I expect that's fairly normal I just don't remember seeing the payouts before.

Did JBJ kick Santos in the legs before that?
It was likely well torn before the kick described above. Like in football, most acl tears happen with no contact because the ligament(s) were likely partially torn and the cutting move, or in MMA an impact kick to the joint, finally tore it completely.

Not that I recall, if he did it was minimal. in the replay you can see his left leg try to pivot from the right kick but it looked like his weight prevented it from sliding on the mat. It is pretty clear. He continued to use both legs for the rest of the fight, Jones didn't have to kick him for the injury to get worse, he was doing it himself

It wouldn't be the first time a fighter fought through a torn ACL though. Pretty sure Conor tore his in his fight against Holloway, and finished the fight.
