The guest here is Ben Askren: Two-time NCAA Division I national champion wrestler, 2008 Olympian, and former Bellator and ONE Championship MMA welterweight champion who went undefeated for years before high-profile losses to Jorge Masvidal and Jake Paul. Known for his unorthodox 'funk' wrestling style, online trash talk, and coaching career. Ben Askren breaks down wrestling mastery, his MMA dominance, the Jake Paul loss, and why a robot could one day out-wrestle humans.
