Ben ASKREN has attacked Jorge Masvidal’s new tattoo, calling the flying knee logo "stupid"
Masvidal, 37 years old, will be taking to the octagon tonight against Colby Covington in a crucial fight at UFC 272.
Jorge Masvidal showed off a tattoo on his knee in tribute to the flying knee
that made him a global star.
This fight is being called the largest grudge match since Conor McGregor against Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Dana White had to intervene after Masvidal and Covington fought during yesterday's heated weigh-in.
Masvidal was the star of the show when he untucked to lose weight and revealed a tattoo on his shoulder that depicted a flying kick.
After Askren's 2019 defeat, "Gambred" became a household name in UFC. He achieved the most famous knockout ever after just five seconds.
However, Askren was not impressed when he discovered the ink via social media.
Askren reacted to Masvidal's flying kick tattoo by saying: "What a stupid symbol!"

"I have nothing to say about Ben. My mother taught me that if you have nothing to say about someone, don't say it.
Masvidal also likened his fight against Covington with his feud to Askren.
Masvidal stated at last night’s weigh-in that he doesn't respect Masvidal in any way shape or form. It's almost like Ben Askren. Ben Askren is not my favorite.
"If Ben Askren was in a place, and he said anything to me then s**t. We can even fight. If he's cool I'll be cool. Or we can fight.
Colby is a different story. He mentioned my religion, but not my children.
