There was a lot of talk about Conor McGregor possibly facing Justin Gaethje, up until the former two division champion announced another “retirement” after some differences with the UFC. The bout may not happen anytime soon, as Gaethje is in line for a title bout, but it’s still a fun match up that people have been discussing.
Firas Zahabi, who has previously drawn the ire of McGregor for picking against him, broke down the potential match up. This time, the renowned MMA coach predicted McGregor would “completely” outstrike Gaethje.
“They’re both good punchers. McGregor is a better counter puncher,” Zahabi said on his YouTube channel, as he broke down a possible bout between the two entertaining strikers.
