Tristar Gym head coach Firas Zahabi has established himself as one of the best trainers in the game today. His body of work can be seen through a number of top-level fighters in his stable, with the most notable one being two-division UFC champion Georges St-Pierre.
During an appearance on the recent episode of the JRE MMA Show, Zahabi touched on some of his training methods while working with St-Pierre. One of them is his manner of dealing with sparring partners.
“I brought the guys in a room, and I was watching them spar with Georges, and they don’t want to touch his face,” Zahabi told Joe Rogan (transcript via MMAjunkie).
