One of the greatest fighters in the history of mixed martial arts, Georges St-Pierre, is convinced that Aieman Zahabi has what it takes to defeat former UFC champion Sean O’Malley in their upcoming bantamweight clash.
The fight will be held at a spectacular UFC event in front of the White House, and Zahabi will have the support of his brother Firas Zahabi, one of the most famous MMA trainers in the world, as well as Saint Pierre himself.
“Just let it be what it is”
Speaking for UFC on “TNT Sports”, Saint Pierre did not hide his enthusiasm for the form and preparation of the Canadian fighter. He especially emphasized the way in which Zahabi recovered after losing weight before the match.

“I feel very good about this fight. After seeing how quickly he recovered after the measurements, it’s really incredible. He looks like the Hulk. Aiemann will be successful if he does what he normally does in the gym. He doesn’t need to try anything special, just be himself,” said Saint-Pierre.
According to him, the biggest danger for Zahabi is not O’Malley’s fighting style, but possible deviation from the plan and unnecessary risk taking during the match.

Zahabi enters the duel with an impressive streak of seven consecutive victories. During that period, he defeated some of the famous names of the UFC, including Pedro Munoz, Jose Aldo and Marlon Vera, which brought him seriously close to the top of the bantamweight division.

On the other hand, O’Malley is one of the most popular fighters today and a former UFC champion. After two defeats in title fights against Merab Dvalishvili, he managed to get back on the winning track with a triumph over Song Jadong, so this match will also have great significance for the continuation of his career.
An important step towards the top of the bantam category
The fight between Zahabi and O’Malley could have a significant impact on the standings in one of the strongest UFC divisions. A victory over the former champion would represent the biggest success of Aieman Zahabi’s career and further bring him closer to the contenders for the belt.
This is precisely why the attention of fans of MMA sports is directed towards this clash, and the support that Zahabi received from the legendary Georges Saint-Pierre further increased expectations before one of the most interesting matches of the evening.
