Ben Askren went all the way to London to witness UFC on ESPN+ 5’s welterweight clash between Jorge Masvidal and Darren Till and it seems the trip has paid off.
After stirring up trouble with both sides of the headliner, Askren (19-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) scored a meeting with the big winner, Masvidal (33-13 MMA, 10-6 UFC), at UFC 239 on July 6.
MMA Junkie confirmed with a person close to the booking that the fight has been verbally agreed to following an initial report from ESPN.com. The person requested anonymity because the UFC has yet to make an official announcement.
Masvidal’s manager, Abraham Kawa, also seemed to confirm the news on Twitter, adding that Masvidal had asked to meet Askren even before the matchup with Till.
