Khabib vs GSP? Ben Askren & John Danaher Discuss 

John danaher complimenting khabib’s triangle and then khabib hits a triangle. Danaher really has a attention to detail unlike most.

"He's got a nice triangle from his back...." You don't say!

Danaher always rocking the rash guard legend has it he wore a rash gaurd to his daughter's wedding

2:33 "He's got a nice triangle from his back." Danaher was right on the money.

Flo, why would you ignore 50% of the rest of this video?

I met Gsp at an airport and asked him if he was really done he said only for khabib, I think that fight will happen as long as Khabib still has the belt

"He is pretty good off his back. Got a nice triangle off his back." says John Danaher before the Khabib/Gaethje fight. I've never heard this guy talk nonsense.

Nothing i would want to see more than GSP and Khabib wrestle in a fight. In my opinion the 2 best "MMA wrestlers", each with his own style

Looks like Askren having a Saturday afternoon talk with his Uncle lol

Someone did try to take Khabib down - RDA. A man with one of the best takedowns at 155. He got judo flipped into his back as a result.

Whenever I see Askrin, his ghost of Mojahed videos comes to my mind

2:35 Low and behold khabib gets the triangle choke in round 2

The close-up of Askren's face when Danaher talks about challenging specialists at what they always do is hilarious!!

Daaang. Danaher with some prophetic words when talking about Khabib's grappling. haha

I like it that Justin was training wrestling with usman in preperation for this fight

fanny pack vs. flip flops

Where’s the rest of this? Very interesting

the 2 best dressed guys in the game

Need a GSP vs Khabib pure grappling match! FloGrappling, make it happen!

Trujillo took him down. But then almost got submitted in a matter of seconds

Exceptional insight in retrospect.

I like how this discussion is going on like they are about to send a ship to the moon...

Legend has it that John Danaher was born already wearing a compression thermal.

Ben Askren is STILL one of my favorite fighters.....I wanted to see Ben Askren vs Khabib.

Flo just levelled up!!

The manny pack. Proudly endorsed by John Danaher and The Rock

Ben & John should do this more, very interesting

Listen to GSPs interview about Khabib retiring. Two incredible fighters with so much class.

It's so weird seeing two of my favorite people at the same place!

Nice triangle from his back , well that was very prophetic

Rashguard: Check! Fanny pack: Check!

These two dudes are...dudes

Respect and congrats to the best LW ever. Do Tony Conor for the vacant belt. Tony deserves it.

Man John Danaher just dumped a bucket of cold water over a hot mma matchup real quick. He’s not pulling any punches with his assessment of GSP physical state is he?

I knew nothing about this guy heard him talk for less then a min on another vid. N knew instantly this a very smart dude.

I would love to see Khabib in submission matches now that he is retired from MMA. He would probably love it, and it wouldnt be like he HAD to win every time.

In order for Khabib to prove something really big, he needs to go up a weight class. He needs to fight GSP at 170.

It would be the lightweight Goat Vs The MMA GOAT. Khabib Vs Gsp at 165.

More Danaher content pls

where is full episode?

Ben: what do you tell George to do John: that’s... that’s a great question One I’m not going to tell you the answer to 😈

keep in mind too, GSP was fighting pre-usada and not doing any PEDs himself. Hendricks lumped him up good and made him retire, and as soon as USADA came around hendricks was like a shrivled up husk of his former self.

More of these

My man danaher is always ready for rolling sesh with the rash guard

McGregor has his suits, Danaher has rashguards ^^

I hope one day they can both train and spar together

well thats of the table

I love khabib at what he’s doing at 155 pounds, but need to move to 170 to prove more! 155 is not enough for his skill sets, need some bravery, and this without disrespect to his abilities! Just wish him to try to be a champ/champ, not only 1 weight division, especially we saw his struggling making weight, as he’s a big guy! I understand that gave him an edge and advantage, but if you wanna be a GOAT of MMA, you need to exit your comfort zone! Vs Justin? May the best man win! Good luck for both of them! Peace

"He has a nice triangle from his back." Lol. But also, RIP debate.

Reminds me of A prime Dominic Cruz vs An upcoming Mighty Mouse.

"Even Conor ..." hehe loved that one.

Guess we're never seeing this fight... Except in our dreams.

1:32 That is the key.

If you look at a pic of Danaher when he still had hair the outfit makes so much more sense.

@2:35 They call him Mystic Mac coz he predicts these tings!!!!

I think Gaethje V Khabib finally answered the question about whether Gaethje has MMA wrestling in his back pocket.

Ben Askren vs Michael Chandler please both are worthy to each other based on their level.

GSP can beat Khabib today

I want to hear Danaher discuss what just happened.

I thought fedor was interviewing Askren

2:22 "Even though Khabib is primarily known for his wrestling, he is also accomplished Sambo competitor. Big part of Sambo is bottom guard position." This is so true. Western audience often disregard Khabib's bottom escapes and transitions, coz they have no idea what Sambo wrestling entails.

I don’t get the gsp khabib thing for the exact reasons John lists I think khabib more legacy cementing move is to fight chandler at 155 or move up to welterweight

3:40 Askren: "I find it really interesting that wrestlers dominate UFC upper weight-classes, but we haven't seen that in lighter divisions." Demetrious, Cejudo, Volkanovsky: "Are we a joke to you?"

Danaher is an absolute genius

now we know

Danaher almost nailed it. Got it half right. Triangle, but not off the back.

Askren vs Khabib wrestling match would be fun

I swear to god I actually just listen to Danaher as ASMR at this point

Always wearing his gear just incase some one wants a quick roll around

Ankles , acls , knee caps have all left the building.

Danaher has to be the twin of Lord varyes from game of thrones

Askren just needs to put on the M In B suit and he can be the Lex Fridman of mma.

Apparently they are both still in the USADA pool. Interesting.

I'm a huge Khabib fan, but their observations about Georges' purposeful strategy of attacking his opponents early using their strong suit (often wrestling bc of the laundry list of great wrestlers at 170) vs Khabib often fighting strikers who were, in my view (and Khabib's) tailor-made for him, points to the fact that GSP is the G.O.A.T.

Thumbs up if you thought at first that the bald guy was Fedor.

I'd take it, even in a no striking match

Flying knee should work on a take down

This seems like it could be a summer bbq with two dads who are only friends because their wives are friends but secretly have loads in common

He wasn't wrong about khabib good of his back and a triangle.

Nice triangle from his back? 👀

Ben looks like a grown up Tommy Pickles

All I want is to see The CODE behind his head.

Well, they all said Conor vs Mayweather will never happen, but it did.

Danaher is absolutely spot on as usual. Whoever beats Khabib will be the one who can fight fire with fire. He's never had to face that kind of challenge even once because everyone's so afraid of his wrestling ability.

Danaher the man knows everything

I don't know if there's anyone alive with the grappling IQ of John, he's mesmerising to listen to. I've always trained in boxing and muay thai (more for hobby and keeping me sane than competitiveness) andd have only dabbled in BJJ. What I love about jitz is that you can go all out whilst taking almost no damage if done correctly and it's definitely something I'd like to really go at once social distancing laws here in The UK lessen.

1:58 Seems like Ben is listening but really he still cant belive that Masvidal KO

Danaher is so correct about actually going for a takedown against Khabib instead of fighting scared of his wresting. Bully the bully and see what happens because the other stuff ain't working.

If you even want to play what if. Do you really think off GSP's layoff his 1st fight would be Khabib (arguably p4p the best) it would have to be a HUGE life changing payday from uncle Dana is all im saying...

I respect Danaher and GSPs trainer in Montreal.but it’s more complicated than that. If it’s a will of marathon Folkstyle wrestling Not classical freestyle wrestling w long bouts of body locks and dragging down your opponents and getting back up ; over and over again. Without a doubt, Khabib will embrace that and GSP who is more a traditional TD freestyle wrestler will Lose that marathon chain style , Folkstyle drag them down and get back up war.

Thats the only way to beat khabib is to take him down or at least attempt takedowns. As the fighter fighting khabib. You have to focus on so much. Distance from the cage. Opportunities for striking while also being very aware of a takedown at any moment. Where as khabib its easier. Get into the perimeter of striking Distance circle off cut the cage forward pressure and just wait for a shot to shoot a takedown. And just bob in and out of your opponents striking range and try to get them off balance or on the end of a combination.

john danaher was born and immediately slipped into a rash guard and spats.

Flip flops are to Askren as rashguard is to Danaher.

This is just Ben Askren's Body talking , soul is in Masvidal's Garage with other Halloween decorations......

This guy should make ASMR videos

LETS COVER SOMETHING THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN, JUST TO STAY RELEVENT

Only once he was on his back against trujilo

4:36 " Wrestling in MMA is different than wrestling in wrestling " Whaat?😂😱

This man lives in a rash guard.

Garry Tonon vs Khabib
