Coach Zahabi vs 6'3 Undefeated Middleweight - How to Fight a Bigger Taller Opponent part 3

Special thank you to Mariusz Ksiazkiewicz for taking part of this episode. In this video I demonstrate how to deal with a common dilemma seen when facing a taller and larger opponent.

the drop your weight is effective, my child does that when im trying to pick him up.It makes it very difficult to pick him up even though he's not half my size.

[@SR-uz1ov]

Lmao great

[@b-sideplank]

omg, they also have other techniques. my 2 yr old niece blocks the armpit to stop picking up. do you get that? and there's stretching outward to slip out of the grip. they know bjj or some form of jj. weird.

How can you justify these techniques when they are designed for a sport ( which is also fake a lot of the time ) People can get seriously injured from incorrect techniques.

[@americangangster1911]

Ynnek Thennek You're a idiot. That move makes complete sense and he was demonstrating how. There wouldn't be enough room to throw punches and if you tried to defend with punches then you're going to get slammed like Tito did to Evan Tanner. This guy's is in the top 5 of best mma coaches in the world. He trains GSP and Rory McDonald among other greats. You will never learn shit if just assume you know everything and won't even take advice from a master of his craft.

[@jakemcdonald152]

If you're at a even a beginner level. I highly recommend traveling and doing seminars. And if you can afford it find a good brown or black belt who gives private lessons. That way you can supplement the lack of technique at your gym with what you can learn in an extracurricular way

I always knew you were a great coach - but to be a great coach, one doesn't have to be a great fighter. You look very skilled in any of your videos I've seen and very capable. Why did you never compete in MMA? Was it due to coaching taking up all your time?

I wanna say he is/was recently going to take a mma match

[@bobyatron7525]

Pretty sure he was a Muy Thai champ. And also a very high level grappler, so yeah it would make sense. Maybe he feels he's too old to compete at that level? I know he's been at it a while but he doesn't look old to me. Hard to say, but I'd be shocked if he was past his early to mid thirties.

Tristar Gym hey coach Firas great video, I'm only 5'6" so I love information like this, as even average size is still bigger and taller. I did have a question though. your statement towards the end about not wanting to wrestle a taller opponent, caught me off guard. I thought that wrestling and BJJ was a great equalizer when it comes to size. with a lower center of gravity and leverage. I am a natural grappler, and normally this is my goal, not to stand and bang with those that have long reach, but get inside and get the takedown? And here you seem to advocate the opposite, saying wrestling on the inside favors the bigger taller opponent?

[@davejohnson1448]

Yes, he's bigger and taller, but he has ZERO musculature or power! He's essentially a 6'3" ECTOMORPH! And Ectomorphs (I'm one) are so lanky that they have no power & little center of gravity. Notice how he's moved around so easily and when they clinch, he can't get a single takedown! A real 6'3" MESOMORPH with real muscle, would've body slammed Zahabi 10x in that "fight" and his punches would've staggered Zahabi. I'm guessing this is supposed to approximate a street fight but in a real street fight, the second the fighter with the greater body mass grabs you, you're going down! And once on top of you, you'll be "grounded & pounded". At 6'3" tall, this guy SHOULD'VE REALISTICALLY been a HEAVYWEIGHT NOT A MIDDLEWEIGHT! I'm sorry but I just don't buy this at all - totally unrealistic even for just a demo. IMHO.

That's so funny: When my 4-year-old daughter doesn't want me to pick her up she does the exact same thing like Coach Zahabi: She drops her hips, moves it away from me and pushes with both hands into my chest or tummy. And she makes it awkwardly difficult for me. (Size advantage: 2 feet plus, Weight advantage: 150 pounds.) She must have trained at Tristar ...

I love Firas. I've been watching The UFC since i was in middle school around 2000 - 2001 or so. As I became more and more of fan I began to obviously follow certain guys but i was still basically a casual. Back then i loved Tito Ortiz and Ken Shamrock which goes to show you i didnt know shit lol. Eventually I started understanding the sport much more but somehow I was never a fan of GSP. Being 32 years old now over 20 years into this shit I understand georges game much more and respect it. The wrestling used to lose me whereas now i get that wrestling is huge. All this being said it wasnt until a few years ago that I learned of Firas Zahabi and I became a huge fan of his. His mind is brilliant. Wether its fighting or other things such as philosophy. His JRE episode where him and Joe end it with a phenomenal discussion on the philosophy of science is one of my top 3 favorite JRE episodes. That hour long discussion blew my mind and made me a Firas fan for life. Keep it up brother

[@tonymercado9228]

[@Justinva1dez]

I agree with this but in mma wouldnt sagging your hips like this leave your legs pretty vulnerable to a single, double, and a variety of trips? I do completely understand this aspect completely if it’s for kickboxing tips though. Just curious

[@jesserennicke7343]

No offense Coach but I have a couple questions! 1. When you sag your hips, what's to stop the guy doing a basic Tai-otoshi or Osoto gari? These are judo throws that work well when a person sags and puts all their weight on their feet. 2. When you frame the face. What stops him from turning away and doing a basic hip throw when you give him space to get his hips in? 3. When you frame on the face, are you not giving the taller man a Russian tie? Again I'm a big fan of your videos, and your mentality and philosophy! I can't wait to watch more and wish you nothing but the best!

[@Indra471]

Tried to deny myself, but couldnt help it.. To some people criticizing this demo about technique, "opponent" or uselesness in real combat: a) partner is there to help demonstrate the movement, not to fight Zahabi b) drill is not about closing distance rather than getting out of clinch, which taller opponents usually do (to answer those "what if knees, what if teeps etc") c) when you are skilled and drill/spar with equally trained friend, you both develop a sense on what kind of pressure/speed and power you can apply in order to have a good one (in case these two are even sparring in the video..) Had to, I'm sorry in advance =D

[@jsboyle3459]

[@adammyers05]

QUESTION: when you sag your hips and, angle out, then put your arm up to his chin = why not elbow the fuck out of him?!

Floyd mayweather uses this techniqie ALOT. Only boxer ive ever seen do this. Mike Tyson would have been so much more effective against bigger guys when they used to tie him up if he'd used this technique.

[@diamond5147]

I agree on alot on what you're saying brother, but this tall guy ain't good to use his lenght and isn't good at stand up. So you will have a different approach with an another tall guy who's lot better at using his distance and got good stand up skills. Not saying that the tall guy in this vid ain't good, he might be so. But as an earlier muay thai fighter I would recommend these tall dudes to regularely take 1 weekly muay thai session. And spar at least 1 time every 2. week. When devolping great stand up skills, then they can just take 1 training session with sparring every 2nd week. Just an honest advice brother. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, salam.

A good rangy fighter beats a good spark plug almost every time. Long frames are the best body type for mma. Lean guys dont tank as quikly, their length can control range, and long limbs are a great asset whem implementing folk style wrestling, which in my opinion is the most effective form of wrestling for mma. Long fighters are a fucking nightmare for shorter opponents when the fight goes into deep waters.

[@ParkerPPipe]

Oh geez. This is like watching an akido "master" throw around his students. The taller guy didn't even try to keep you at range. Pretty sure a knee up the middle everytime firas bum rushed him would do the trick. I have no doubt firas is a talented teacher but this is randori not fighting

[@RamEswarPurushothaman]

what would be the breakdown on how to defeat connor mc gregor, seems like only nate diaz managed it being good on his feet, outboxing connor. seems legitimate to think closing the distance and wrestling, taking him to the ground. circling away from that left hand. avoiding footwork traps that he may use to trap you and being careful of your movement, use lots of kicks since he is unlikely to take you down. and work him while being cautious so he gets dragged into the later rounds where he is known to get tired. but every time a fighter steps against him they swing wildly and really dont perform. what is the game plan for him?

[@LoveAffair-17]

This 6’3” guy must of disrespected Firas’s shins or something because he was letting him have it

[@ParkerPPipe]

I mean at 4:30 in the video firas threw his whole body weight into the punch and the student kinda tied him up. Out of respect for his coach I'm sure. But in reality he could have dumped firas on his head. This is role play. I wanna see how good firas really is.

[@juggernuts1000]

who the hell asks how to fight a taller opponent? probably people that never been in fights. anyway, just take him to the ground. the taller the guy is, the less balance he has and its easier to take him to the ground. also, the taller your opponent is, the harder it will be for him to be effective on the ground because of long limbs and being all over the place. if its not for overall fighting but only striking, just get closer to him and work from the inside. its that easy. the hard part is to actually do it of course, never said otherwise, but thats the path, nothing complicated.

[@jstar6543]

This is great but as a tall fighter lanky fighter as you explained that I am I always make sure that the little guys slip or duck you're getting either straight punches or uppercuts coming straight at you when you're smaller than me I am keeping you at the end of my punch😂

I have a wuestion. In 3 minutes in when the opponent grabs high under the underhooks and you dont drop your weight, i see w techniwue here they csn do without switching to a lower grip but wonder something about it. Why do they teach it in greco roman to put the opposite foot forward and switch feet then turn them to the side rsther thsn the natursl foot thst is across? Lets day you have the underhooks and make them step back with opposite foot across each other in close distance. But in wrestling they always teach to switch feet then and then turn them to the ground. I always wondered why?

Whoooooa bro....do you know who you're talkin about? Firas has impeccable technique. You were never taught to leap in with wide punches to cover distance? If that guy threw straight punches or had better boxing he coulda ko'd him anytime he leapt in like that.

You Mang looked very amateurish. He could of got dropped if the tall guy had any boxing skill.

@@zenithskull yeah i was being sarcastic. I said the same but Firas didn't like it and i got some backlash

[@blackhoodie4170]

how can he use his reach when firas took it away with the long guard and frames, plus closing the distance? have you ever even sparred before? nice circlejerk ya'll got going in here 😂
