UFC’s Jorge Masvidal hilariously falls for handshake prank on ESPN’s ‘Highly Questionable’

ESPN’s “Highly Questionable” is a mid-day sports show that features ESPN personality Dan Le Betard, his dad, Gonzalo “Papi” Le Batard, and a third host that rotates around.

Le Batard’s dad has a long running goof where he tries to get the new hosts to  fall for giving him a high five or a handshake and then he pulls it back right before they connect and everyone goes nuts.

It’s just some good, clean fun that has gotten the likes of Katie Nolan and Mina Kimes in the past.

Well, on Thursday they had UFC fighter Jorge Masvidal on (you might remember him from that 5-second flying-knee KO of Ben Askren) and the old man went for the prank.

And he got him:

Now that is fun. I especially like Dan Le Batard shaking his head before it happens, knowing what his dad is trying to pull off and not thinking it’s a good idea.

Masvidal has become a huge name in the UFC over the past year and its fun to see him having fun on this show.

It’s also going to be fun to see him fight Nate Diaz at UFC 244 at MSG on Nov. 2 for the BMF belt (Google it).
