Trainer Firas Zahabi, on “Beatdown,” discussing whether teammates Rory MacDonald and Georges St. Pierre would fight each other:

“We don’t fight each other. We train together daily. I couldn’t divide people’s interests like that. Rory is a patient guy. Georges is a very generous guy. … If there’s nobody else, if they’ve both cleaned out the division completely and there’s no more big fights, one of them will move up or one of them will retire or one of them will fight someone else in a different weight class, a superfight of some kind. We’ll figure it out when we get there, but we’re not fighting each other. We all agreed not to do that.”
