"I'm gonna let you guys know okay, I'm picking Tyron Woodley" said Zahabi at the very beginning of the video.

Firas Zahabi then provided the reason for picking the former UFC welterweight champion. He said:

"If I've ever trained with a guy, if I ever train with anybody I always pick that person. I know that person personally, I want you guys to know how I operate."

Firas Zahabi gave his thoughts on Jake Paul, stating that the YouTuber isn't afraid to lead the attack and hunt for the knockout. The veteran trainer said:

"Now let's talk about Jake Paul. Jake Paul is not gun shy, Jake Paul is gonna go for the kill. He's gonna pounce on Woodley and I'm saying all this because I think Jake Paul might move ahead on the cards. Why? Because he's more aggressive. He's gonna throw more."
