Aiemann Zahabi will be getting in work with one of BKFC’s top pound-for-pound fighters ahead of the former’s Sean O’Malley fight in June, and the combatant in question has his own rivalry with ‘Suga’. The referenced bare-knuckle standout is Kai Stewart, who is coming off a successful defense of his 145-pound title against Nico Gaffie at BKFC Hollywood earlier this month.

The BKFC featherweight champion recently traveled to Canada, and enjoyed his time in the great fight north by getting in work with names like Rob Font and the surging bantamweight contender Zahabi. Stewart also has a history with Sean O’Malley, with the two Montana natives disparaging each other at times in the public eye.

In mentioning he was going to help Aiemann Zahabi ahead of that ‘Suga’ Sean fight at the White House, pulling back the curtain on this planned UFC Freedom 250 camp with the Canadian combatant, Stewart said [via Bare Knuckle Bowker],

“Yeah, we’re going to get through my fight and it’s all preemptive. My agent is with [Aiemann] Zahabi. I don’t know if he actually manages him, but I do know that my manager is very big at that Tristar gym. So, I do think that we want to do that. Me and Aiemann Zahabi shared some amazing rounds, as did me and Rob Font, while I was up there. So, I do think that I; especially if I’m going to be doing an RAF wrestling match.”

“There’s a lot of things that I can help with Aiemann that isn’t just strictly bare knuckle, but at the end of the day, O’Malley is a sniper. O’Malley is not going to try to wrestle him. So, I bring a funky in-and-out look that is; I mean, there’s a little bit of Sean O’Malley in what I do just because I mean, the best fighters think alike. As much as I do have beef and want to beat Sean, he’s a UFC world champion.”

Aiemann Zahabi “deserves this s**t”, says Stewart ahead of summer showdown with ‘Suga’ Sean

Further delving into his breakdown of Aiemann Zahabi’s looming Summer contest against the colorful former UFC bantamweight champion, Stewart continued [via Bare Knuckle Bowker],

“He’s a sniper on his feet. He’s in and out. He [Sean O’Malley] does great. So, there’s a lot of things that I can help Aiemann Zahabi with. I really hate going against the USA, but O’Malley also said that I sucked. So, it’s just a good opportunity for me to learn and be a part of a big UFC camp. But also just go up there and help a guy that I’ve seen work real; like Aiemann Zahabi deserves this s**t.  He deserves this s**t.”

“He’s such a good dude, genuine dude. Great family man and he doesn’t get the respect I believe he rightfully deserves. But we haven’t seen the best Aiemann Zahabi in the UFC and he’s still beating all these guys.”
