Chimaev (15-1) lost his middleweight title to Sean Strickland (31-7) via split decision at UFC 328 last weekend. While Chimaev was a massive favorite, he visibly faded in the second round and was forced to give up his strongest skillset, wrestling.
Zahabi, who is credited with shaping St. Pierre’s legendary career, is inviting Chimaev to train under him at Tristar Gym in Montreal. Zahabi promises that Chimaev will no longer face conditioning issues if he joins their camp. Zahabi, along with St. Pierre, vows to do everything in his capacity to make Chimaev return to the win column. Zahabi also welcomes Chimaev’s friend and training partner, Arman Tsarukyan.
Making His Case
“Someone spread this around: Khamzat, come train with me,” Zahabi said on his YouTube channel. “Come to Montreal, work with me. I promise you, if you come and train with me, you’re not gonna fade. Come and train with me. Bring Arman Tsarukyan too. Khamzat Chimaev, Arman Tsarukyan, come train with me. See how we prepare to make your fitness level better than ever, your striking will be sweeter than ever, your footwork will be sweeter than ever. I promise. If Khamzat Chimaev, yoe come and train with me, this will never happen to you again. I hope he gets this message. Please come train with me and Georges St. Pierre, and we’ll make sure to do our absolute best to get your hand raised. No matter the cost, no matter how much energy it takes, no matter how many hours we have to work. We’ll focus on getting your hand raised. If Khamzat Chimaev is listening or if anyone knows him, get this message to him. Let him know that he is more than welcome.”
