Firas Zahabi says Dustin Poirier “deserves a medal” for remaining classy despite Conor McGregor’s “vile” and “disgusting” behavior. The renowned MMA coach says it takes a lot of character to not retaliate after everything that was said before and after the bout.
“I was really grossed out. I don’t know how you guys can be fans of this man,” Zahabi said on his YouTube channel as he discussed McGregor’s actions. “I respect him as a fighter. I respect his skills — I can’t deny that — but the way he behaved was just horrible.”
Zahabi also questioned the people surrounding the Irish superstar.
