It's not just that GSP is not afraid to get hit for the takedown but he actually will set you up for it with his jab. GSP throws his jab from about the same technique he can do a takedown from, so fighters will lean back to keep away from his accurate jab and then GSP will feint it and go for the takedown when he feels the oppenent is trying to hard to defend from his jab, even then GSP can still close the distance with his superman punch. GSP is really a great technical fighter than people give him credit for.

DC is just the best guy. Integrity, passion, honesty through the roof. This interview brought a smile to my face because you see the passion for mma in each second of the conversation, even with family at the dinner table, a situation where a journalist can have an unwelcome, intrusive presence (kudos to Luke for his work). I almost feel like DC is restricted by the time constraints of his commentary and analyst roles. With someone with his wealth of knowledge and passion for sharing it, one really needs a platform like this interview, rather than a situation with producers screaming in your ear. DC, a great, great ambassador for the sport, and pound for pound the nicest person in MMA.

His wrestling is unlike the other wrestlers that force in to get a takedown, rather gsp timed it using opponent's momentum to get them(just like DC said) using his threat in striking and force them to strike for a moment and boom takedown comes.
