Fans and fighters know Firas Zahabi as the head coach and trainer over at Tristar Gym in Montreal, Quebec, but he will now be adding another title to his resume — commentator.

Although it is not yet official, CEO for Titan FC, Jeff Aronson told MMASucka.com that, “Firas Zahabi would be one of the commentators on this show.” This show being Titan FC 27 which takes place on February 28.

Interestingly enough, one of Zahabi’s students, Mike Ricci will be serving in the main event against Jorge Gurgel. The question that immediately arose was, how does Zahabi commentate and corner his guy in the main event? Aronson had the answer.

“Firas will be doing coaches corner type things before hand. So he will be breaking down the fights before hand and then he will be free to be in the corner of the fighters.”

Zahabi will be able to give an inside knowledge that not a lot of commentators have in the sport of MMA. As mentioned he is the head coach at Tristar Gym in Montreal, Quebec — he trains the likes of Georges St-Pierre, Rory MacDonald, Francis Carmont and many more.

Titan FC 27 goes down on February 28 from the Memorial Hall in Kansas City, Kansas and features a stacked fight card. Check out the most recent fight card below.
