Georges St-Pierre's coach begs Chimaev to train with him after UFC 328 loss

Firas Zahabi is confident he can help fine tune Khamzat Chimaev . Chimaev (15-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC) was a big favorite when he lost his middleweight title to Sean Strickland by split decision in Saturday's UFC 328 headliner at Prudential Center in Newark, N. J.

After controlling Strickland (31-7 MMA, 18-7 UFC) on the ground in Round 1, Chimaev's body language in Round 2 was concerning when he appeared to fade. Although he was able to recompose himself for the rest of the fight, his activity wasn't enough to help him retain his belt. Zahabi, who helped coach Georges St-Pierre into one of the greatest fighters of all time, urges Chimaev to come train with him.

"I'm begging you. Somebody get this out there," Zahabi said on his YouTube channel . "Khamzat, come train with me.

Come to Montreal. Come train with me. I promise you, if you come train with me, you're not going to fade.
