There are few people who’ve witnessed the evolution of Georges St-Pierre’s ground game as John Danaher has.
The Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt has watched the UFC welterweight champion go from “shockingly naive” some 10 years ago to a fighter who could hang with the world’s most respected submission artists.
Most MMA observers believe that the opponent in St-Pierre’s sixth title defense, Jake Shields, has but one way to win the fight: on the ground. But Danaher says GSP has faced better grapplers.
