Ayman Zahabi confirmed in an interview with Ariel Helwani that Georges St-Pierre will be in his corner at the upcoming UFC White House event. The presence of the MMA legend adds significant support to Zahabi's team for the card.
Ayman Zahabi will have one of the greatest mixed martial artists of all time standing in his corner when he steps into the octagon at UFC White House on June 14, 2026, with Georges St-Pierre confirmed as part of his team for the card.
St-Pierre's presence was revealed by Zahabi himself in an interview with Ariel Helwani. The 45-year-old Canadian, who compiled a 26-2-0 professional record across his storied career, is widely regarded as one of the most complete fighters the sport has produced. Fighting out of Tristar Gym in Montreal, St-Pierre was a dominant force in the welterweight division, blending an orthodox striking game with elite wrestling. His numbers reflect that well-rounded excellence — he averaged 4.16 takedowns per fifteen minutes and landed his significant strikes at a 53 percent accuracy rate, while maintaining a pace of 3.78 significant strikes per minute. His six-foot reach of 193 cm and composed, technical style made him a blueprint for modern MMA.
Why it matters
- St-Pierre's tactical knowledge and championship experience give Zahabi's corner immediate credibility at a high-profile event.
- His background at Tristar Gym, where coaching and camp culture are central to fighter development, makes the cornering role a natural extension of his post-fighting career.
- The confirmation adds a marquee storyline to UFC White House beyond the bouts themselves, drawing attention to Zahabi's camp ahead of fight night.
