Jorge Masvidal recorded the fastest knockout in UFC history at the expense of Ben Askren Saturday at UFC 239.

Masvidal and Askren had plenty of build-up before the fight, going back-and-forth for weeks with one another.
After connecting, Masvidal continued that war, getting in the final words to a grounded Askren.
