Does Ariel Helwani even train UFC bro?

Do Greg Jackson and Firas Zahabi even have any professional background in combat sports?

A lot of people seem to be suggesting that my question is irrelevant, because a lot of people are good journalists / commentators / trainers without having trained extensively themselves.

That would be a valid argument if I was accusing Ariel of not doing a good job because he doesn't train. But I'm not, so it isn't. I'm just asking a question.

I think Zahabi's has a muay thai background along with jiu-jitsu credentials.

He's also competed in MMA.

this indeed, im the idiot!!

You can't seem to grasp that the other poster was making a satirical joke. People who don't know much about the sport tend to say "I train UFC" to sound intimidating. Of course, it's ironic because the UFC is merely an organization, while MMA is the sport.
