After his fighters went 4-1 on the biggest UFC card in history on Saturday, Firas Zahabi said his biggest star’s left eye will be OK – and that a champion vs. champion fight may be in his future.
Zahabi, head trainer at the Tristar Gym in Montreal, home of UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre, told Ariel Helwani on “The MMA Hour” on Monday that his star pupil’s left eye, which St-Pierre said he could not see out of midway through the fight onward, was not a serious injury.

BROOMFIELD, Colo. – Eighteen months removed from his last win, and coming off back-to-back losses for the first time in his 40-fight professional career, Miguel Torres made no secret that something had to change.
For the first time in a long time, Torres put his fighting life in the hands of a coach, abandoning his pattern of self-training that worked for years – right up until the point it didn’t work with losses to Brian Bowles and Joseph Benavidez.
So it should come as a surprise to no one at WEC 51 on Thursday night that when Torres began his walk to the cage, absent was the mariachi entrance music that had become as much a trademark for him as the relentless pace he would keep in fights.

BROOMFIELD, Colo. – Brad Pitt, as Tyler Durden in “Fight Club,” says, “It’s only after you’ve lost everything that you’re free to do anything.”
To say Miguel Torres “lost everything” might be something of a stretch. But after back-to-back losses for the first time in a career spanning 40 professional fights (and a dozen others that exist off the books), Torres definitely reached that type of moment of critical mass.
After years of training himself at his Torres Martial Arts Academy in Hammond, Ind., near his hard-luck, blue-collar hometown of East Chicago, Torres was living the good life as his own boss. Sure, he made sporadic trips to drill with coaches like Robert Drysdale and Mark DellaGrotte. He rolled with Frank Mir and Kenny Florian, Rashad Evans and Kurt Pellegrino.
But when you’ve never been knocked out and someone pops you in the chin and puts you to sleep and takes your gold, and when you’ve never been made to quit and someone cracks your head open and chokes you until you tap … it must feel like you’ve lost everything. So you go out and get a coach.
