Good fight. I think Dana will make it happen.

Give that man a raise in the form of Yair's entire salary!

So he can fix his ears.

I'm really Filing this fight.

 

[HaulParris]

Good match-up. Fili is not exceptional in any one area, but is the prototypical Team Alpha Male fighter - solid wrestling and a effective (though rudimentary) striking. Zabit is way more unpredictable and will win, but this is a good fight to keep him active and test his defensive wrestling. Props to Fili for stepping up.

EDIT: I can just see the puzzled faces of Zabit and company when seeing this tweet call-out. It’s not a language barrier thing, it’s a very specific cultural reference.

This. Just stuff those holes with cash. Problem solved.

Fili is no slouch, and respect to him for calling a guy who many are avoiding right now. But I cant see him winning this fight. Zabit by comfortable decision or flashy finish.

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Good step up for Zabit. Fili is legit.

 

[Guy LeDouche]

Oooh I can't wait to see Zabit hurt this hipster.
Good on Fili though, stepped up when no one would.

[K-Town Punk]

Fili of all people in the division...he'll get absolutely smashed. It's not like I don't want to see this but I think there are tons of more interesting, more competitive match-ups for Zabit than this.

 

[LaneTM]

Good fight. I think Dana will make it happen.

LOL at the dude who got fucking flatlined by Yair calling out Zabit now

 

[A.S. Deep]

HESPECT for Fili! Big risk for Fili, but if he wins it's a huge win hype-wise. Win or lose, Fili made me a fan if this fight gets made. War ZM Punk!

 

[Workaholic]

Finally a dude with some nuts

Hespect

 

[Arne Rud]

haha style

 

[Superzorro]

What a mismatch.

 

[Ares Black]

This fight should happen.

Much respect to Fili for the callout.

 

[HwoarangStyle]

Mad props to Touchy. Calling out the GOAT. Can't wait to see them throwdown.
