Aiemann
Zahabi is following in the footsteps of Georges St.
Pierre, who was trained by his brother, Firas Zahabi.
Firas is largely credited with shaping St. Pierre’s legendary
Ultimate Fighting Championship career. “Rush” used to go
backstage immediately after his fights to analyze his mistakes with
Firas and Aiemann has continued this practice.

A clip recently resurfaced of St. Pierre heading backstage to watch
back his fight after successfully defending his UFC welterweight
title against Josh
Koscheck in 2010. Aiemann says he still follows the same ritual
with Firas, regardless of the fight’s outcome.
“Firas and I have kept this alive, we go over my mistakes after
each fight whether I won or lost!” Aiemann wrote in reaction to the
video.
St. Pierre (26-2) defended his welterweight title nine times before
vacating it in 2013. He then returned after a four-year hiatus in
2017 and defeated Michael
Bisping to win the middleweight title before finally hanging up
his gloves.
Meanwhile, Aiemann (14-3) is coming off a knockout loss to Sean
O’Malley at
UFC Freedom 250 that snapped a seven-fight winning streak.
