Georges St-Pierre is set to the corner of his teammate when the Octagon returns to Montreal for UFC 315.
Few men are better equipped to give advice about fighting in the Bell Center than the former UFC -Welterweight and Middle Weight Champion.
Some of the best nights in the incredible career of 'Rush' came within the iconic location, including UFC 83, where St-Pierre threw his shocking loss against Matt Serra.
Although St-Pierre leaves the door open for a comeback, he will not compete on 10 May, but he will try to help Aiemann Zahabi to win the biggest victory of his career against colleague legend Jose Aldo.
In addition, St-Pierre Zahabi has given an interesting advice, the competition born in Canada has since unveiled.

Aiemann Zahabi says that Georges St-Pierre told him that he should not put Jose Aldo on a pedestal on UFC 314
In a recent exclusive interview with Bloody Elbow, Aiemann Zahabi spoke about the advice that Georges St-Pierre had for him for UFC 315.
Zahabi, who has won five in a row to earn the #14-ranking on 135 pounds, has previously earned a lot of praise from his Tristar teammate after compiling the best run of his career at the age of 37.
He revealed in the interview that one of the first things he did after he had offered the fight was to call St-Pierre who immediately spent a few words of wisdom.
'GSP' was able to use his own experiences to use a controversial opponent and the mistakes he has made, so that Zahabi can prevent her from falling the same pitfalls.

Zahabi said: “I wanted to be the first to tell him about Aldo, so I immediately called him as soon as we said yes and he told me that he is only human. The biggest mistake I can do is put him on a pedestal and that he is bleeding, he is tired, he is injured, he has two arms and two legs and one head. He is not a God supreme.
“He is just another man who fights well, who trains hard, who fights a lot IQ, he is like you, but that doesn't mean he can't be treated.
“I think the first time that GSP fought against Matt Hughes, he put Matt Hughes on a pedestal and he actually explained to not do that with this opportunity. Just to go there and fight him as if I would fight.”
Aiemann Zahabi says that his UFC 314 fight with Jose Aldo is 'All Business'
Of course it would be impossible for a competitor like Aiemann Zahabi not to have an enormous amount of respect for Jose Aldo after everything that the Brazilian legend has achieved.
It is so impossible to prevent the former UFC -Fedweight champion from being showered with praise that even his own supporters of the Canadian hunter have fallen victim to it.
Zahabi laughed when he told Bloody Elbow that when he announced the news, even his own inner circle ensured that Aldo was back.
“You know what is funny, he even has such a fan base as friends of mine or as acquaintances, they always come to me, they are always like:” Listen, we want you to win but don't do him too bad “. As you're crazy! That guy doesn't care about my husband!
“The man comes to tear my head off and I come to tear his face off. There is not easy to do, it's all business.”
