"“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.”"
Khamzat Chimaev lost his middleweight title to Sean Strickland via split decision, fading in the second round and being forced to abandon his strongest wrestling skillset. Firas Zahabi, head coach of Georges St. Pierre and credited with shaping his career, invites Chimaev to train at Tristar Gym in Montreal. Zahabi promises Chimaev will not face conditioning issues again if he joins their camp. Zahabi and St. Pierre commit to doing everything possible to help Chimaev return to winning. Zahabi also welcomes Arman Tsarukyan, Chimaev’s friend and training partner, to train alongside him.
