Chatri Sityodtong responds to Ben Askren's first star misfortune

Throughout the end of the week, previous ONE Championship welterweight lord Ben Askren encountered his first expert misfortune, capitulating to a flying knee only five seconds into a UFC 239 session with Jorge Masvidal. Talking on Facebook on Tuesday, ONE Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong shared his interpretation of the previous ONE Champ's first taste of destruction.

"Individuals have been barraging me for my contemplations on Ben Askren. To spare time, here is the thing that I think:

1) Jorge's flying knee was not karma. He bored it. He arranged it. He executed it. Jorge Masvidal merits the majority of the props for pulling off a very hard, gutsy strategy. It takes colossal balls to put it all on the line the way Jorge did, particularly toward the beginning of a high stakes battle. I am presently an enormous Gamebred fan.

2) A flying knee is a high hazard, low likelihood method with KO results. It once in a while terrains clean. In any case, in the event that you land it clean, it is great night.3) Despite this tremendous 5 second flying knee KO, it doesn't mean Jorge is a superior warrior than Ben. In the event that they battled another multiple times, Jorge would far-fetched score a flying knee KO in 5 seconds until the end of time.

4) It is really difficult to state who is the better contender. We never got the chance to see their abilities in real life in any territory of the game.

5) If Jorge had overwhelmed Ben for 1-2 adjusts and after that scored a flying knee KO (or even won by means of consistent choice), I would have concurred that Jorge is superior to Ben.

It may sound nonsensical, however despite everything I trust Ben is the absolute best welterweight on earth today. This misfortune helps me to remember the time GSP got KO'd by Matt Serra. It was a tremendous vexed, yet it didn't really imply that Matt Serra was superior to GSP. Their rematch insistently demonstrated this point.

Ben may appear as though he just got off a lounge chair subsequent to eating a plateful of cheeseburgers and doughnuts, yet don't be tricked. Ben is an outright MONSTER. His wrestling is alarming. What's more, his ground knowledge, man quality, and cardio are unrivaled. Most importantly however, Ben just does not break. I won't uncover any names, yet I have by and by observed him wreck the most astounding level ONE and UFC champions ordinarily in preparing (notwithstanding hearing inside accounts of numerous other exercise center wars in the US). Individuals can contend that preparation is certainly not a genuine battle, yet Ben has a history and notoriety of conveying a similar presentation in both preparing and rivalry.

Try not to exclude Ben. He is simply beginning."

What's your opinion of this breakdown from Chatri Sityodtong? Do you share his certainty that Ben Askren will bounce back?
