Georges St. Pierre explains how Aiemann Zahabi can beat Sean O’Malley

​  

Georges St. Pierre believes Aiemann Zahabi beats Sean O’Malley if he avoids making mistakes.. Zahabi will take on O’Malley in a bantamweight tilt at UFC White House on Sunday. Zahabi’s brother, Firas Zahabi, is often credited for shaping St. Pierre into one of the greatest fighters to have ever graced the sport. St. Pierre and Firas will be in Aiemann’s corner at the White House on Sunday.. St. Pierre is impressed with Zahabi’s preparation for the matchup against O’Malley. The former UFC double champ and Hall of Famer believes Zahabi will beat “Suga” if he performs as he does in the gym. “Rush” says Zahabi, just has to avoid “f—-ing it up” to get his hands raised against O’Malley.. “I feel good about this,” St. Pierre told UFC on TNT Sports. “After seeing how he recuperated in a very small amount of time after his weight cut, it’s just amazing. He looks like the Hulk right now… Aiemann will be successful tomorrow; he just needs to be as good as he is normally in the gym. The way I’ve seen him perform in the gym, he just needs to basically not f—k it up. Don’t try to do too much, just be yourself, that’s enough.”. Zahabi (14-2) is riding an impressive seven-fight winning streak that has seen him leave behind the likes of Pedro Munhoz, Jose Aldo and Marlon Vera in his wake. Meanwhile, O’Malley (19-3) recently rebounded from back-to-back losses in title fights against Merab Dvalishvili with a win over Yadong Song.
