Trainer Firas Zahabi, on “Beatdown,”
discussing Rory
MacDonald’s win over B.J.
Penn:
“[Penn] really was in the best shape of his life. I really believe
it. He said he was this time, and I believe it. He looked like he
was in incredible shape. He fought hard till the end. He took
really bad body shots and came back. I was impressed. I was very
impressed by B.J. Rory landed some devastating body strikes --
knees and punches and kicks. Most guys would have went down. I
think 99 percent of guys would have went down and stayed down.”
