Firas Zahabi is one of the best brain coaches in the world MMA village. Firas has trained many talented boxers, but so far Firas is best known for its role in the career of the puncher Georges St-Pierre.
In a recent video on his YouTube channel, Firas made multi -dimensional comments about the third rematch between Conor McGregor and the upcoming Dustin Poirier.
“I think that McGregor needs to do first is to remove the unnecessary foot attacks and hope he does not practice the foot. Then McGregor needs to play back, no need to make too many punches like Poirier, McGregor needs to keep physically.” – Zahabi said.
“Conor McGregor has 25 minutes for Knockout Dustin Poirier, otherwise it will lose the whole episode if in terms of scores. This match is a 50-50 match, the chance to win evenly for both 2.”
“In my opinion, McGregor needs to change some things if you want to win. McGregor needs to remove his foot attacks because they will almost not work in front of a beast like Poirier, besides he needs to play slowly, keep physical to be able to launch a decisive blow.
As for Dustin Poirier, Firas Zahabi said that this puncher did not need to change much, just maintain his form and play like a previous encounter with McGregor.
“I think Poirier needs to maintain the style and gameplay like the previous match, we all saw how early Poirier lowered McGregor. Poirier approached, hugged McGregor, pulled his neck, took him, took away the excitement of McGregor and then defeated him. Poirier would have an advantage if the object was McGregor down on the floor, lowering the dangerous level of McGregor. Poirier will be even more beneficial if the match entered the fourth half because Poirier's endurance was somewhat better than his opponent. ”
The analysis of Firas Zahabi before this expected encounter is very objective and quite accurate. However, the results need to wait until the match ends. The audience everywhere was eager to UFC 264 to watch the fierce match between Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor.
