Ben Askren | AJ Ferrari, Desanto, Jake Paul, New Book, & MORE!

In this exclusive conversation, Paul Garcia from Garcia Video Productions sits down with legendary MMA fighter and wrestling coach Ben Askren at one of his 7 wrestling academy locations. Ben, a former Olympic wrestler and UFC fighter, has an incredible story of personal growth, evolution, and success both on and off the mat. Known for his intelligence, "Funky" style of wrestling, and articulate views on combat sports, Ben dives deep into his journey-from his rigorous fight training to his ventures into coaching and business.
We discuss Ben’s current fitness, whether or not the Jake Paul fight was rigged, and his insights from his newest book, "Extreme Balance." Ben also shares his philosophy on wrestling, including thoughts on elite competitors like Carter Storocci and AJ Ferrari, as well as reflections on his time as a "fat kid" and how that shaped his career. We even tackle some of wrestling’s biggest names, including Cael Sanderson, Dan Gable, and Jordan Burroughs, and discuss Ben's vision for the future of combat sports.
Stay tuned as we cover MMA, wrestling’s legacy, and Ben’s personal life, including how he met his wife and what it feels like to look back on his incredible career at just 40 years old.
