Jorge Masvidal has the fastest knockout in UFC history. At UFC 239, Jorge Masvidal faced Ben Askren in a Welterweight bout. When Masvidal came on the Joe Rogan Experience, he revealed that the flying knee was not a fluke and he had predicted the outcome. His certain interactions with Askren made Masvidal feel confident about landing the knee knockout to attain victory. The revelation made Joe Rogan stunned on his podcast.

Speaking on the Joe Rogan Experience, Masvidal felt that Ben Askren was not ready for a change in approach. He believed that as soon Masvidal started running, Askren would revert to his wrestling. It is exactly how it played out between Askren and Masvidal. As soon as Masvidal started running to land the knee knockout, Askren ducked under to look for a takedown, but Masvidal’s attack knocked Askren out.
