Hey firaz. Young man afraid to get in and fight, himself. Stop talking about me like you know me, you twerp.
You are what age? Why are not in there yourself? Are you not up to it?
You rent dorms and hit a clock for a living.
Shut your pie, kid.

In what seemed like a challenge, Conor asked Zahabi why he wasn’t fighting inside the cage, instead of coaching. Firas Zahabi is one of the most renowned MMA trainers in the world, most notably taking Georges St-Pierre to the Promised Land.

While Firas did respond to Conor, saying that he wasn’t being personal, but was calling the fantasy fight as he saw it, he did recently open up about what it would take for him to fight McGregor. And, as per his own words, it wouldn’t cost a promotion much to get the two men inside the cage.

Zahabi did an AMA session recently, and said the following about fighting Conor. “Not much. Honestly, it would be a very reasonable price. Very reasonable”.

The question is asked around 11:20 mark.
