Renowned MMA coach Firas Zahabi found himself at the center of an amusing prank during a recent Q&A session. The incident, which quickly gained traction on social media, involved a fan posing a rather unconventional question about UFC title contender Khamzat Chimaev.
Zahabi, known for his analytical approach to combat sports, was caught off guard when asked to evaluate how Chimaev would fare against Riley Reid. Initially perplexed by the query, the coach’s curiosity led him to investigate further.
“Who’s Riley Reid?” Zahabi asked, clearly unfamiliar with the name. As he began to search for information, it became apparent that the question was not about a potential opponent in the octagon, but rather about an individual from an entirely different industry.
Upon realizing the nature of the inquiry, Zahabi’s reaction was one of surprise and amusement. “Okay. That’s some girl,” he remarked, quickly grasping the situation. “I don’t know why you ask me that,” he added, demonstrating his professional demeanor in the face of the unexpected question.
The incident has since sparked discussions online, with fans praising Zahabi’s composed response to the prank.
Famed MMA coach claims Men are lowering their tesosterone by indulging online models with their attention
Famed MMA coach Firas Zahabi has sparked controversy with his claims that men are diminishing their masculinity and testosterone levels by following and giving attention to provocatively dressed online models and influencers.
In a lengthy rant, Zahabi admonished men who follow social media accounts of influencer women. “It shows incredible weakness,” he stated. “You think ‘oh, this girl is showing her body, I’m going to follow her.’ So what do women do? They start posting more revealing pics to get more followers.”
Zahabi argues this creates a “race to the bottom” where women act increasingly provocative online to chase male attention and engagement. He believes by indulging this behavior, men are rewarding it and enabling an unhealthy dynamic that undermines respect.
“If you had access to this, she’d just be another girl,” Zahabi said of the logic behind men obsessively following adult accounts out of desperation. “The hunger you are, the less access to this you must have.”
The MMA coach took it a step further, claiming that overconsumption of adult entrtainment can desensitize men to normal intimacy. “there’s no launch sequence…you’ve desensitized yourself.”
Zahabi advocates for periods of abstinence as a way to preserve male vitality. “The battery will recharge. The launch sequence will happen again and it will be desirable again.”
And he doesn’t exaclty recommend indulging yourself:
“In Islam, it’s Makruh. It’s which meaning not recommended. It’s not forbidden. It’s not strictly forbidden. It’s not halal either. It’s not permitted. But It’s Makruh. It’s like it’s a lesser of two evils. Like, because men they’re gonna have to release some energy. At one point. Like, there’s a balance of what I’m trying to say.””
