Ben Askren on Jorge Masvidal
“Well, I suppose I learned last summer that life is short, definitely too short for holding grudges. So when @GamebredFighter said he wanted to sit down and break bread, of course, I took him up on it. Today he came to Wisconsin, sat down, had some dinner and chatted it up. Turns out we have more in common than different. Felt great to bury the hatchet and make a new friend”
