On 6 July 2019 at UFC 239, Jorge Masvidal knocked out Ben Askren with a flying knee after 5 seconds, which is still the fastest knockout in UFC history in the sources we checked. The Masvidal vs Askren AI video template is a staged, seven-second clip in a hospital room styled after that finish. This article separates the real event from the staged clip, says what is verified and what is not, compares the template with Oakgen's other fight templates and explains how to make and post your own version.

Add two photos and get the 7-second Masvidal vs Askren AI video, with the clip's music and your two people in the fighters' places.
The real event: what is verified
We searched for these facts on 14 November 2026 and they come from ESPN and Guinness World Records:
- The event: UFC 239, T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, 6 July 2019.
- The result: Jorge Masvidal won by knockout with a flying knee, 5 seconds into the fight.
- The record: Guinness World Records lists it as the fastest knockout in UFC history. The previous record was 6 seconds, set by Duane Ludwig against Jonathan Goulet in 2006.
- Who threw the knee: Masvidal. Askren took it.
That is the whole list. Everything else about the fight, including how it was received afterwards, is outside what this article states.
What we did not check
We did not check whether anyone has beaten 5 seconds since 2019, so treat the record as "as of the 2019 sources" and look it up before you put it in a caption as a present-day claim. We also do not state anything about the real fight beyond the list above: not how the two fighters were doing before it, not what followed, nothing about odds or money. And we do not say who is in the staged clip, because we have no way to verify that and do not infer anyone's identity from a face.
A frame from the reference clip, which is staged. It is not footage of the real fight and not an Oakgen output.
The staged clip next to the real finish
The reference clip follows the shape of the famous finish, a fighter closing the distance and landing a flying knee, and then goes its own way. Timings for the clip are approximate readings.
| Real fight, UFC 239 | Staged clip (the template) | |
|---|---|---|
| Setting | An arena in Las Vegas | A plain hospital room: bed, empty wheelchair, old television, worn tiles |
| Length | 5 seconds to the knockout | 7 seconds |
| The knee | The finish | Lands at about 1 to 1.5 seconds and is the first third of the action |
| After the knee | The fight was over | A ride on the back (about 1.75 to 3 s), a flip and crash (about 3 to 4 s), then a grapple until the end |
| Tone | A real contest | Staged slapstick, no blood, no weapons, no injuries |
In the template the Barefoot fighter is the one who charges in and throws the knee, and the Suit fighter takes it. Those are casting roles, not the real fighters. The honest summary is that the clip borrows the idea of the flying knee and nothing else, so it is longer than the real finish, it ends differently and it should never be presented as a replay.
How it differs from Oakgen's other fight templates
All of these use staged clips and replace the fighters with your photos, and none of them is footage of a real event:
- Holloway vs Gaethje: an 11-second landscape knockout finish with fight-broadcast sound and an optional third photo for the background. Pick it for a single punch finish.
- Bathroom Fight: a longer 4:3 fixed scene built around a bathtub and a final splash.
- Demetrious Johnson AI fight video: a 14-second vertical patio fight with slaps, a clinch and a knee that sends one fighter down.
- Topuria vs Gaethje AI video: a 12-second neon-room fight that ends on the winner grinning into the camera.
- Masvidal vs Askren AI video: 7 seconds, one wide hospital room, a charge, a flying knee, a ride on the back, a flip and a grapple.
The Masvidal vs Askren template is the shortest of the group and the only one built around a jump and a flip. If a short flying knee is the joke you want, it is the one to pick. The full side-by-side is in AI fight video trends compared.
Why the fastest KO angle works, and where it stops
A 5-second finish is easy to explain in a caption, and a flying knee reads at a glance with the sound off. That is why people reach for the fastest KO line when they post a clip like this. It stops being fair at one point: the record belongs to the real 2019 fight, not to your video. Your clip is 7 seconds, AI-made, and not a record of anything. Say what the real number is, say that your video is styled after the finish, and say it is AI-made. Do not tag the UFC or any fighter, do not use UFC branding, and keep betting, odds and prize talk out of the post.
How your version works
You add two photos. The first casts the Suit fighter and the second casts the Barefoot fighter, and both are required. The template replaces each fighter's face, hair and outfit with the ones in the photo, does not copy anyone's age or build, keeps the hospital room, the camera and the timing, and keeps the Barefoot fighter's feet bare. No fighter's face or voice is used, and photos of fighters or other public figures should never be uploaded. Choose 720p or 1080p; both cost the same flat rate and the quote shown in the tool covers the whole 7-second video, so check it before you generate. The step-by-step is in How to make a Masvidal vs Askren AI video from two photos.
Posting it safely
Label the video as AI-made in the caption and in the platform's AI setting. Use only photos of adults who agreed, never fighters, other public figures, strangers or children, and never real patients or hospital staff. Do not post it so it suggests a real fight, a real injury or an incident in a real hospital. The video has a music bed and no speech, and the song is not identified, so replace the music with licensed audio if a platform mutes or flags it.
